Many processes require containment to ensure that people and the environment are protected from exposure to the chemicals involved. It could be the product itself or any of the raw materials or intermediates being handled that exhibits toxic or highly potent properties. Many oncology products are highly potent and fall into this category.

Cambrex has facilities that handle highly contained processes under cGMP conditions. We currently offer commercial quantities of such products and provide development services as well. Our experience in this area has prompted us to expand our capabilities and build a new kilo laboratory to further increase our capacity for small-scale production and development. The new facility will be fully cGMP, and the focus will be on oncology drugs.
