Products

AI-driven robotic formulation platform (Cloud Lab platform)

Integrated platform combining custom robotics, integrated analytical instruments, microfluidics, and machine-learning models to perform high-throughput formulation experiments, analyze results, and generate next-step experimental protocols.


Services

Web-accessible service where client scientists define formulation parameters and the provider's robotic laboratory executes experiments, analyzes results, and returns data via a cloud portal. IP related to client formulations is assigned to the client under a master services agreement.

Fee-for-service projects in which internal scientists design, execute, analyze and iterate formulation experiments using AI and robotics to reach a target product profile; includes feasibility studies, optimization, and coordination of GLP/animal studies and regulatory documentation.

Analytical services including automated HPLC, Raman, spectrophotometry, DSC, dissolution and other assays for formulation characterization, stability, and release profiling; offered through automated workflows or traditional lab projects.

Planned automated aseptic manufacturing line for production of clinical and commercial batches of sterile injectables and other dosage forms; aimed to support scale-up from discovery to commercial production.
