Clinical Manufacturing Suite and QC Laboratory Buildup
- Commissioning, Project Management, Qualification, Validation
Overview
Built and started a clinical manufacturing suite and supporting QC laboratory for a clinical stage pharmaceutical company. The engineering scope of work involved process, mechanical (piping, HVAC, and plumbing), and EI&C.
The clinical manufacturing suite is approximately 800 SF. The clinical manufacturing suite includes two liquid mixing tanks and a vial filler/capper to formulate and package a topical oral rinse product. Additionally, the suite includes a vacuum homogenizer that combines the oral rinse product with additional raw materials to produce an oral gel product. The gel is filled into syringes in the suite. The suite includes a dispensing area (with 4 ft fume hood), equipment cleaning station, and small equipment wash station.
The QC lab is approximately 800 SF and includes owner supplied analytical instrumentation, controlled temperature units (Refrigerator, Freezer, Stability Chambers, and Incubator). The lab includes at least 30 LF of benches, two 4 ft fume hoods, one laminar flow hood, space for 9 CTUs, and a glove box. The QC suite ventilation provides isolation by maintaining negative pressure to the air lock and positive pressure from air lock to the corridor.
