Intermediate Potency

The Containment Facility is a specialized "plant within a plant", designed to blend, tablet and coat intermediate potency, dry blend pharmaceuticals under contained conditions. The facility's production and environmental conditions are continuously monitored to ensure optimal product quality.

The Containment Facility follows the rigorous clean design principles targeting class 100,000 air. Its structural features are easily cleaned and not conducive to retaining dust. It has its own HVAC system with a cascading air-flow, designed to keep product dust that may be released during operation in the room where it originates. In addition, HEPA filters on the supply and return air ducts further reduce the risk of contaminating other rooms.

The facility’s standard equipment is enhanced to run compounds of intermediate potency and is fully licensed for controlled substances. All connections for the transfer of powder are via a retractable hard pipe connection called a spool piece, which is dust-tight. Most operations and cleaning systems are automated, to limit operator exposure to the compounds. The Containment Facility also has its own purified water system that meets USP specifications. We have the capability to manufacture products - blending, wet granulation, compression, coating, and the like - in different areas of the plant under intermediate potency controlled conditions.
