Comprehensive Quality Management System

Our Quality unit encompasses Quality Assurance, Regulatory support, and Validation. Our FDA-registered facilities produce API, adjuvants, and intermediates that meet the relevant cGMP requirements of 21 CFR Part 210 and 211, ICH Q7, and EU Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. A dedicated Quality Assurance representative ensures that all applicable regulatory and quality standards and requirements are met throughout your project.
