Overview:
In connection with our custom active ingredient synthesis work, we can continue the analytical Characterization work & formulation development. We can also perform these activities in an independent set of R&D work, if we are not required to synthesize the active ingredient. R&D work is performed mainly in our partner facilities, under our close management. Our partner team led by a highly accomplished team leader & experienced group including 16 Ph.D scientists & 16 MS level scientists. Additional details can be provided on request.

General R&D Program, after receipt of an API candidate project:
- General overview by the Project leader. This includes the data package provided by customer, & also searching literature to locate any other helpful related property data.
- Receive sample & begin R&D work to fully characterize the API(all items within #1 above). Tests can be tailored towards customers needs.
- Stability: subject the API candidate to heat, light & moisture, under accelerated conditions(#2 above). Normally for common formulations, they test purity, impurity profile, water, particle size, and solubility. Can perform common temp test, & destructive tests.
- Salt screening: Synthesize salt forms & determine the one(s) most suitable for formulation. This work is of course carried out in parralel with #3.
- Early formulation feasibility: Determine compatibility[interaction between API and its auxiliary], & the impact on a formation candidate after formulation production.
- Progress reporting: R&D Progress reports are provided to customer as often as needed.
- Development goal: Develop a full process, which can be easily repeated & scaled up for increased development requirements or commercial manufacture.
- Final Project completion report: On conclusion of the full project, a full report is provided summarizing all the gathered information.
- Production Assistance: as part of the package, we assist the customer's team to understand the results & ensure that they are able to fully use the information towards successful scale-up & production. Alternatively, we can recommend partner sites to scale up the newly developed technology.
