WuXi STA launches new HPAPI production facility in China
The new plant features flow chemistry and milling technology, as well as reactors up to 3,000 liters
WuXi STA, a subsidiary of WuXi AppTec, continues its investment in manufacturing with the opening of another high-potency API (HPAPI) plant in China.
The new plant will bolster capacity for high-potency API process R&D and manufacturing services and is located at the company’s Changzhou site in Jiangsu. It features reactors ranging from 250 liters to 3,000 liters, flow chemistry and milling technology, as well as prep-HPLC systems and a 10 m2 tray lyophilizer.
The company now has two sites—Changzhou and Shanghai—that will help support WuXi STA's development and manufacturing of HPAPIs. Each of the production sites have multiple high potency processes, R&D labs, kilo labs, and other technologies.
The Changzhou site is capable of handling the process development and manufacturing services for linkers, oligonucleotides, and peptides, providing a ‘one-stop’ solution to companies developing therapies made of various complex conjugate modalities, the company said.
WuXi STA is a Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CRDMO) that provides solutions for integrated chemical, manufacturing and controls (CMC) from preclinical to commercial uses. Such uses include the development and manufacturing of small molecule, oligonucleotide, peptide and various complex chemical conjugate.
