  Drug 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. 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.
  
  Active ingredients and excipients
  
  Without dossiers on active ingredients and excipients, there is no marketing authorisation/registration of medicinal products. We offer advice during the excipient or active-ingredient development process and when compiling and evaluating documentation for your dossier!
  
  Medicinal products and medical devices combined
  
  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.
  
  Product development
  
  The efficient development of new active ingredients and products needs a regulatory strategy right from the start. We provide regulatory, analytical and technical services so that you start off on the right path to obtaining your marketing authorisation.
  
  Life-cycle management
  
  We want to ensure there are no restrictions to marketing your products. New regulations, changing technologies, out-of-date documentation: we track the life cycle of your medicinal product and make all the adjustments for you. By the deadline.
