In 2017 piCHEM opened a brand new production facility providing 1.200m² edge-cutting laboratory and production
space as well as adequate storage rooms. Peptides are manufactured in compliance with ICH guidelines
and according to applicable laws and regulations. The production facilities are inspected and approved by the
national authorities and the US FDA.
Our pharmaceutical contract manufacturing department supports your drug development project through all
stages of clinical trials. piCHEM conducts GMP manufacturing of APIs from milligram to several hundred gram scale.
Peptides
piCHEM offers peptide synthesis according to GMP with applicable techniques in peptide chemistry. Depending
on the structure, quantity or special client requirements, different strategies are available, from conventional
synthesis in solution to solid phase synthesis methods (SPPS).
Reversed phase chromatography and ion exchange chromatography are applied as standard purification
procedures for synthetic peptides.
Peptides are available as lyophilisate in bulk or in bulk aliquots. For final manufacturing steps, cleanrooms in class
D/C are available. Peptide-Protein Conjugates
piCHEM has broad expertise in conjugation of peptides to carrier proteins like KLH, CRM-197 or BSA under GMP
conditions. Conjugation manufacturing and purification processes strongly depend on the characteristics of the
employed peptide and are designed individually.
Peptide protein conjugates are manufactured in cleanrooms class D/C and are supplied as liquid or lyophilised
bulk.
