HPAPI – Highly Potent API
Many of NCE are considered potent compounds, meaning occupational exposure limits (OEL) <10 µg/m3, which requires special handling conditions. Hovione has invested in its facilities in Loures, Cork and New Jersey to provide the necessary containment, defined individual protection equipment and also developed working practices to safely handle these compounds.
Our service for HPAPIs ranges from Drug Substance to Particle Engineering for compounds with an OEL down to 1 µg/m3. In the case of spray drying services Hovione can handle compounds with an OEL down to 0.03 µg/m3. Our multipurpose facilities that support Drug Substance services for HAPIs can go across the range of installed equipment.
In the case of spray drying services Hovione can handle compounds with an OEL down to 0.03 µg/m3.
