Novasep offers purification development services from its Pompey & Chasse-sur-Rhone facilities in France, and its Boothwyn site in the USA, including screening & process development using Novasep’s designed preparative chromatography technology.
Our Leverkusen site develops processes including hazardous chemistry steps.
In addition, Novasep's Le Mans site in France supports the early phase development of HPAPIs & cytotoxics as well as Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs). The site combines synthesis and HPLC chromatography of Band 4 compounds (Safebridge®).
Our facilities are closely connected and benefit from shared resources for Project Management or R&D.
All our sites have been recently inspected by the National Authorities and the FDA: learn more about our excellent regulatory history in our Pharma brochure.
