Contract Development & Non-GMP Manufacturing

CDMO — from development
to kilogram supply

PCL Research & Manufacturing provides contract development and non-GMP manufacturing services that bridge the gap between R&D and supply. We optimise synthesis and crystallization processes from grams to kilograms — ensuring flexible, robust procedures that transfer cleanly to pilot-scale, with consistent and optimised bulk properties.

Process Scale-up & Kilo-lab Production

We can optimise synthesis and crystallization processes, ranging from synthetic route scouting to process scale-up, allowing for batches of grams to kilograms of small-scale non-GMP production — while ensuring flexible and robust procedures that can easily be transferred to pilot-scale and finally to high-volume industrial production of APIs that exhibit consistent and optimised physical and bulk properties.

Kilo-lab scale (non-GMP)

  • Multi-purpose kilolab units (50L) ideal to run experiments at kilo scale during development
  • Robust procedures designed for seamless transfer to pilot and industrial scale

Reactors

Controlled Reactors

Our controlled reactor platforms enable precise, reproducible crystallization and synthesis across development scales — providing the control needed to develop and refine robust processes.

PAT

In-Situ Monitoring & Sensors

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) sensors give real-time insight into crystallization behaviour — particle size, chemistry, supersaturation and thermal events — enabling data-driven process design and tighter control.
