Technology Transfers
Combining a purpose-built facility and experienced development scientists
-
- Pilot scale facility with relevant technology, equivalent to those used in GMP Stages.
- Challenge of complex aspects of the formulation, such as temperature, viscosity, contact with
materials that could induce aggregation or other changes in the molecule. - Simulation of formulation, filling, lyophilization and closing procedures.
- Design space calculation based on DoE and other Six Sigma tools.
- Engineering, stability, and validation batches and previous physico-chemical characterization.
- All in-house validation support.
Clinical GMP Production
Flexibility and efficiency combined with regulatory compliance
-
- Capacity to deal with limited amount and high value API with special requirements and strict
timelines. We offer process improvement, scalability and flexibility to meet customers’
expectations. - Purposed built facilities for clinical manufacturing challenges at Liof Pharma: timelines, efficiency,
versatility and scalability, regulatory acceptance (GMP) and costs. - Special equipment for easy format changing, featuring CIP and SIP processes, designed for highly
efficient small-medium batch production. - Manual processing validated for small batches of glass vials, syringes, plastic ampoules and other
eye drop containers. - Maximum Flexibility (single use materials, cold compounding, absence of oxygen, light
protection, etc.) - Preclinical and clinical batch production (Phase I, Phase II, Phase III) with manual, semi-automated
and automated filling validated processes, matching all customer needs. - In house release of clinical batches (QP) and experience to provide regulatory support for the CMC sections of pre-clinical and clinical applications.
- Capacity to deal with limited amount and high value API with special requirements and strict
