CRO Chemistry: Process Chemistry & Scale-up Capabilities
The NEDP process chemistry group works closely with medicinal chemists and chemical engineers to efficiently develop robust chemistry solutions for clients. This collaborative approach facilitates a smooth transition from bench to reactor, minimizing any risk of late-stage process issues that can negatively impact the time to clinic.
Our new state-of-the-art facility is well-equipped with chemical reactors ranging in size from 5 to 30 L (-65ºC to 200ºC), suitable for convenient preparation of most APIs on a kg scale. With a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, we have the expertise to solve the most complex chemistry challenges and understand the importance of delivering results on time and within budget.
