Small Molecule API Development

With cGMP-compliant laboratories and a full suite of analytical tools, we offer comprehensive support throughout the entire development process of your small molecule API from initial discovery to commercial manufacturing. We have a range of analytical development and process development capabilities to suite your needs. 

Small Molecule API Manufacturing

As your API demand grows, we grow with you. While we can manufacture volumes in metric tons, we can also go small. If you have a chemistry-based compound and need smaller batches for clinical or commercial use, we can offer the quantities you need at our cGMP small-scale/pilot facilities until you’re ready for full-scale manufacturing.

We work to scale with you, every step of the journey. We have a roster of analytical chemists, organic chemists and engineers who are adept at developing and troubleshooting analytical methods and processes and have the expertise to help scale up your API process.
