Delivering Scientific Insight Since 2006

With over 15 years of GMP analytical and consultancy experience within highly regulated industry sectors, we will take the time to understand your business needs and develop a long-term partnership to create a collaborative, one-team approach to working together.

Our scientists and regulatory experts bring years of in-house and consultancy experience to a project, helping reduce development timelines and in-house resource requirements.

How we can help:

Are you unsure of your product’s readiness for meeting regulatory approval?
Do you need advice on the most appropriate regulatory pathway?
Are you concerned about long-term shelf life and product quality?
Are you seeking a bridging strategy from one regulatory project to a future submission?

They are committed to finding solutions to whatever challenge your project may face and are undeterred by project roadblocks.

We are committed to pushing the boundaries of science, innovation, and technology to accelerate the development of life-enhancing products that improve health and well-being.

We help our partners succeed by:

Reducing costs and accelerating speed to market
Maintaining regulatory compliance and user acceptance
Ensuring product quality, safety, and efficacy
Providing one integrated team of subject matter experts
Building a long-term partnership

Innovation

If you have an innovative device, are looking at new active ingredients, or considering new delivery mechanisms for a generic drug, we’d love to hear from you and support bringing your vision to market. Our scientists, product engineers, and regulatory experts can help identify any weaknesses or gaps in the early stages of product development and support with optimization or re-design to save time and costs later in the project.

One size does not fit all so we offer bespoke strategies and hand-picked teams of experts to help your project succeed. Whether you are a large-scale company looking to strengthen your in-house team, a mid-size organization needing a specific expert on a critical project, or a small-scale start-up needing support across a wide range of testing and consultancy areas, we can help you reach your project goal.
