Saneca Pharma invests in small-scale API capabilities

12 September 2016

Contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) Saneca Pharma is investing heavily in its active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) capabilities to support client demand for smaller batch sizes and streamlined scale-up.

The Slovakia-based company is strengthening its infrastructure and expanding its suite of equipment within its five API production units to reinforce its expertise in opiate and synthetic drug development and production.

This investment includes several smaller reactors that enable Saneca Pharma to now deal with batches from around 1 to 30 kg in its new kilo lab. This lab then allows for scale-up and optimisation activities that simulate the CDMO’s large scale production processes.
