Outsourcing Trusted-Weight Dry Powder Chemicals To Support Expansion

A pharmaceutical company's gene therapy division faced capacity constraints due to increased production demands for process liquids and buffers. They decided to outsource the weigh and dispense steps of process liquid and buffer preparation to Thermo Fisher Scientific to avoid significant capital and operational expenditures. Thermo Fisher offered its Process Liquid Preparation Services, providing ready-to-hydrate, trusted-weight dry powder chemicals, streamlining the customer's process prior to hydration. This allowed the customer to procure larger lot sizes than their facility could handle, leading to annual savings on raw materials and QC testing. The company also avoided the cost of warehouse expansion by receiving the dry powder chemicals on a pre-determined schedule. This enabled the gene therapy division to avoid further expenditures and focus resources on core manufacturing activities.
