Kilo Lab

The Kilo-Lab facility was installed in 2002 to bridge the gap in capacity between laboratory and Pilot Plant and to provide the means for offering manufacture of smaller volume high-value added products. In particular, the facility was designed with the developmental and preclinical needs of the pharmaceutical industry in mind.

The unit is housed separately from the laboratory but close enough to our Pilot Plant to access all of  the Pilot Plant facilities, such as scrubbers and abatement and vacuum. The facility is operated in accordance with ISO standards; the objective being to provide early phase trial materials on minimum lead times with more flexibility and at less cost than equivalent fully GMP units.
