The conceptual design was reviewed by the USFDA prior to the commencement of construction. In 2001, ScinoPharm's completed facility was inspected by FDA and given a "suitable" facility rating.
Our production facilities consist of 16 units (9 cGMP lines) for production ranging from kilograms to multiple tons. Reactor sizes range from 50 liters to 8,000 liters and materials range from stainless to glassed-lined to hastelloy. Three units are considered large suites, two are intermediate in size and
two are considered small units. Four lines are capable of cytotoxic/high potency production with total containment and properly segregated air and physical systems. All nine lines have their own dedicated filtration/drying/milling/and packaging facilities. Several multiple-use drying and finishing units are available to reduce intermediate bottlenecks and all have been validated for API/cGMP operations. All process and utility systems are fully automated using a Fisher Rosemont Delta V process automation system. |
