The rising importance of containment in small molecule drug development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Cross-contamination of standard products with highly potent ones is another key concern. On the other hand, the current trend is for fully closed systems that use negative pressure to keep particles contained inside isolators. Many companies are now prioritising investments in containment systems, GlobalData research shows.

A winning combination: The benefits of micronization and containment in a single installation

Pharmaceutical Technology

This, coupled with small pharma companies being unable to acquire or access containment capabilities in-house, means that the demand for innovative specialized small molecule capabilities remains high. Premium specialized equipment is necessary because high containment facilities call for the separation of the operator from the product.
