Particle Sciences Expands Capabilities

Particle Sciences Inc. has acquired additional space bringing its total to approximately 21,000 sq.-ft. The company expects the new space to be operational in 1Q10.

“Our current workload and existing pipeline simply necessitates this addition,” said Dr. Mark Mitchnick, chief executive officer. “2009 has been a record year for us and we have pretty good visibility on the next 12 months. The additional space will be used to expand our cGMP warehouse capacity. Also, we will construct a purpose-built sampling and weighing area for highly potent materials.

According to Robert Lee, Ph.D., Particle Sciences vice president of Pharmaceutical Development, “Increasingly, clients are coming to us for clinical trial material manufacturing and to work with a greater number of highly potent compounds. We are fortunate that we are able to expand into both of those needs.”
