How A Sample/Dispense Service Streamlines Drug Development

By Alice Levis, Singota Solutions

Singota has developed sample/dispense services with an array of options to accommodate client needs. Often, pharmaceutical companies may not be aware this service exists. We strive to communicate clearly with clients’ project managers to help them understand the most appropriate option(s) to meet their project’s need, since every request is unique:

• Manufacturing/Aseptic Filling — Singota formulates product on behalf of some clients, who send us their API and, in some cases, excipients. We also carry common excipients in our inventory to support formulation needs. We can then conveniently aliquot materials for formulation. Other clients send us drug substance (DS) ready to be filled into different presentations.
• Quality Control and Development — Singota may perform formulation development or analytical testing. Client materials can be aliquoted to support this work at Singota or shipped, per client request, to a third-party laboratory.
• Supply Chain Management — A client with materials stored at Singota’s warehouse has 24/7 visibility to their inventory via our E-Transparency system. In our system, clients can make sampling/dispensing requests to support shipments, analytical testing, and/or manufacturing processes onsite or elsewhere.
