This laboratory provides a comprehensive infrastructure for the pharmaceutical formulation (galenical) and analytical development of medicinal products, tailored to the requirements of the industrial pharmaceutical sector and certified by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
With more than 3,500 m² of laboratory space, the facility is designed to cover every stage of pharmaceutical product development, from excipient selection and formulation development to process design, scale-up, and stability studies in accordance with ICH guidelines.
The infrastructure is equipped to handle multiple pharmaceutical dosage forms, including solid, liquid, and semi-solid formulations. It provides comprehensive services to industry, research centres, Contract Research Organisations (CROs), and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations (CDMOs).
Additional capabilities include comprehensive analytical testing, quality assessment, dissolution studies, physicochemical characterisation, and packaging under simulated industrial conditions.
