Featured Products & Services

  1. Rapid Development Through Phase I CTM 1/28/2022

    Ascendia works with discovery-stage pharmaceutical companies to provide lab-scale formulations suitable for pre-clinical testing. We conduct pre-formulation assessments, bioavailability modeling, and formulation approach comparisons. We provide trial formulations suitable for animal studies, toxicology studies, and cGMP clinical trial materials for Phase I studies.

  2. A User-Friendly Solution For Fill-Finish Professionals 1/31/2024

    When AST came to the table on the design for our new fill-finish isolator, one of the first areas AST engineers wanted to address was the usability and accessibility of the isolator and corresponding operations. With our customers’ point of view in mind, we wanted to address specific points of friction routinely encountered by operators and closely examine whether those friction points were necessary.

    Does an isolator need to be ergonomically unfriendly to clean?

    Should simple mechanisms like isolator doors be challenging to engage? (As much as one can appreciate exercise, no one wants to do “arm day” in cleanroom coveralls).

    Does routine maintenance have to be time-consuming and laborious?

    Many of these factors are accepted as par for the course in aseptic fill-finish manufacturing. Our question was, why?

  3. Aidaptus® Manufacturing

    We are the exclusive manufacturing partner for this innovative auto-injector platform.

    0.5 - 3 ml

    ArQ® - Vita can achieve large volume, deep intramuscular delivery, making it the ideal platform to deliver medication for chronic conditions. Built around Oval’s polymeric primary drug container technology, we can create a device that is small and simple to use, whilst housing the correct length needle to achieve consistent intramuscular delivery for your patient population.

  5. Pharmaceutical Aseptic Filling Equipment 6/29/2022

    AST’s ASEPTiCell® and GENiSYS® systems combine industry-proven technologies such as robotics and isolator-barrier systems to provide flexible pharmaceutical aseptic filling and closing of ready-to-use vials, syringes, and cartridges with a single machine. These innovative platforms use a modular design approach to provide a truly adaptive system with the capabilities and features necessary for cGMP production of clinical and commercial sterile injectable products.

  6. Analytical And Testing Services 2/2/2022

    As part of Stevanato Group’s commitment to R&D, our analytical testing facilities focus on investigating physico-chemical properties of primary packaging materials and components and studying the interactions between container closure system and drugs. Stevanato Group relies on a multi-disciplinary team of highly skilled professionals, including, scientists, engineers, pharmaceutical chemists and biotechnologists. Their knowledge and experience covers a range of specialized areas including container closure systems and drug-delivery devices.

  7. A Breakthrough Solution For Biologics 8/25/2023

    Medicines are highly sensitive to primary packaging components, which can affect compatibility with container closure systems. Discover Alba® syringes, designed for sensitive biologics, including highly concentrated drugs vulnerable to silicone interaction and ophthalmic medications.

  8. Formulations For Poorly Soluble And Low Bioavailability Drugs 1/28/2022

    Ascendia specializes in the development of market suitable formulations for poorly water soluble drug substances. Based on the pre-formulation data package and the delivery requirements for the product, we recommend a comprehensive formulation development strategy. We understand that each formulation is unique and must address the specific challenges associated with poor solubility, inadequate bioavailability, and/or unacceptable physical/chemical stability. We also understand the urgency companies have for progressing their pipeline, and our approach maximizes the probability of success by exploring multiple formulation options in parallel if necessary.

  9. Concept Development and DFM

    A Blueprint for Success

    West believes that getting involved in the very early phases of product development enables the West team of experts to optimize your product design.  This philosophy has proven to yield significant short-term and long-term benefits.  Getting involved early improves cycle times, identifies the right materials for your specific application, lowers scrap, lowers capital costs and lowers long-term maintenance costs.
