Brief & baseline

NDA in place, current formulation reviewed, target specification locked, cost targets agreed. Typically 1 working day.

R&D & bench batch

Lab formulation, bench trial, ASTM/IP testing against target spec, iteration as needed. 2–4 weeks typical.

Scale-up & pilot

Process scaling at your plant or our partner facility. Process SOP captured. Full BIS / API documentation prepared.

Handover & support
