  Development
  
  The active ingredient is at the heart of our risk-based formulation development. Its properties have a critical influence on the quality of the product. In our ultra-modern clean rooms we can also work with highly potent active ingredients. By using statistical design of experiment (DoE) we offer an efficient pharmaceutical development that completely fulfils the requirements of quality by design.

  Pharmaceutical technologies
  
  New active ingredients are often poorly soluble. Innovative technologies are needed to meet these requirements. We offer these, with nanotechnology being a particular focus. You can also expect us to provide conventional production processes.
  
  Product life-cycle management
  
  Market changes and constantly changing regulatory requirements place manufacturers under permanent pressure to adapt or optimise medicinal products that are already being marketed. We provide you with support to successfully implement change management.
  
  Certification
  
  Our laboratories are GMP-certified and we hold a manufacturing authorisation in accordance with section 13 of the German Drug Law (AMG) on the manufacture and release of clinical test samples and small market batches for topical and oral solid and liquid medicinal products.

  Medicinal products
  
  The pharmaceutical quality, efficacy and safety must be guaranteed to obtain a drug marketing authorisation. We know the specific requirements and can help you make your projects a success.
  
  Combination products
  
  Products that include a medicinal product and medical device portion present a particular challenge in the EU. The requirements of the corresponding regulations must be met, which makes the documentation and evaluation process extremely complex. We will help you!
  
  Medical devices
  
  Your challenge as a manufacturer is the regulatory classification of your product. Is it a medicinal product or medical device? You need to know this at an early stage of development as both product categories are subject to different legal frameworks in Europe.
  
  Biotech products
  
  Do you want to use your biotech product as a biopharmaceutical or medical device?
  
  With our teams in Regulatory Affairs, Development, Analytics and Quality, we will accompany you through all stages up to the successful authorisation of your biotech product.
  
  In vitro diagnostics
  
  In vitro diagnostics represent an interesting interface between science and medicine and form the basis for successful diagnostics and therapy.
  
  We support you in converting your products to meet IVDR requirements.
