  • Vessels - up to 4000 L (1000 gal.) stainless steel for special uses.
  • HEPA air quality manufacturing suites that could be used to manufacture your GMP API or intermediate.
  • Most types of chemistry can be undertaken; except for:
    • cryogenic synthesis (eg butyl lithium chemistry)
    • large scale catalytic gaseous hydrogenations under pressure
    • manufacture of cytotoxic compounds.
