SGS Opens Second Facility in Mumbai

SGS has opened a second Life Science Services facility in Mumbai, India. The 15,000-sq.-ft. analytical lab establishes a dedicated GMP lab to provide a wide range of analytical development and quality control testing services. The new lab expands the company’s current service portfolio in India by adding 10,600 ft³ of stability storage space. The facility offers the latest generation Q-TOF Quadrupole mass spectrometer for performing Extractables and Leachables studies. Also, in addition to microbiological testing, in-process sample testing and water system validation, the new site will also develop some capabilities to test biopharmaceuticals for mycoplasma and endotoxin.

“We are pleased that the realization of the Mumbai laboratory was done within a short timeframe,” said Anne Hays, executive vice president for SGS Life Science Services. “This new analytical lab demonstrates SGS’s commitment to serve the growing demand in the India market and to support the development of the top western pharma companies that have operations in Mumbai – many of which are already SGS clients in other regions”
