Many molecules inherently contain significant amounts of energy merely based on their structure. The manufacturing of such compounds requires extra attention to safety procedures, since unwanted side reactions might result in severe injury to people and equipment. Many of these molecules are important as API’s or pharmaceutical intermediates and must be produced, not only with the proper safety precautions, but also under cGMP.

Cambrex has production facilities specifically designed for handling high-energy compounds. In our laboratories we can measure the explosive properties of the process, simulate worst case scenarios, and take the appropriate precautions for the process. One of our plants is equipped with remote control handling under cGMP so that operators can monitor the reactions without being present in the building.
