Embrace A 360° Approach To Biopharmaceutical Testing Services

By Felipe Burns, Cambrex

Securing end-to-end biopharmaceutical testing services has become increasingly challenging for biopharma companies at all stages of development and commercialization, who may need to overcome a lack of resources to conduct cGMP-compliant testing in-house, concerns about contamination at all-in-one facilities, and/or difficulty commanding personalized attention from large CDMO partners.

Partnering with a contract lab helps to ensure quality results by leveraging experienced testing professionals, freeing biopharma companies’ personnel to focus on their own core competencies or other projects. A contracted lab’s focus can remain 100 percent on analytical testing and counted upon as impartial, since that entity is not tied to production of the material. Additionally, a multitude of different modalities exist within the biopharmaceutical market and leveraging a single laboratory with aptitude in all those areas can be advantageous, regardless of whether the company is hyper focused in one area or has several drugs in the pipeline.
