ADC payload manufacturing

Axplora ADC payloads development and manufacturing

ADC payloads are usually complex structures produced through a 10-20 step synthesis process or by hemi synthesis. Manufacturing HPAPI’s such as ADC payloads requires a contained and specially designed environment along the development and manufacturing process including R&D, analytical, production and storage.

With more than 15 years of experience, Axplora is a world-leading commercial supplier of ADC payloads with a demonstrated track record of success in the synthesis and purification of the main classes of payloads.
