Catalent Pharma Solutions has expanded the geographic reach of its Analytical Development Services business with the opening of a European Development and Clinical Services Laboratory in Swindon, UK.

Coming soon after the recent expansion of clinical supply service capabilities in Schorndorf, Germany, this new laboratory is located within Catalent’s Swindon campus, joining the development and commercial supply operations for Catalent’s oral fast dissolve Zydis technology.

The laboratory systems being implemented are designed to meet regulatory requirements in the EU, US and other major markets. The lab services initially offered include:

  • Raw material and finished product release testing
  • Qualified Person release
  • Method development and validation
  • Compendial testing
  • Microbiology
  • Stability testing and storage

‘This is part of Catalent’s continuous investment to strengthen our position as a global partner for drug development and formulation services,’ said Scott Houlton, president of Catalent’s Development & Clinical Services business. ‘This expansion will enable us to better meet customer needs in Europe for analytical testing, including clinical and commercial release testing of their products.’
