As a leading service provider in the industry, CD Formulation is committed to offering comprehensive small-scale production solutions to our clients. By integrating advanced process development technologies and flexible laboratory conditions, we assist our clients in exploring and optimizing synthetic processes that meet commercial scale production requirements. This approach not only accelerates the development process of innovative drugs but also ensures an optimal balance between safety and efficiency.
Nucleic acid drugs involve complex molecular structures and multi-step chemical synthesis processes. To achieve large-scale production and meet clinical application demands, process validation must first be conducted on a small scale. Through small-scale production, it is possible to discover a cost-effective and efficient synthetic route while ensuring product quality. Small-scale production allows for flexible adjustments of process parameters, optimized reaction conditions, and validation of feasibility and economic efficiency under actual conditions. Additionally, small-scale production provides essential data and technical support for subsequent scale-up.

We develop exclusive production schemes for each nucleic acid drug, taking into full consideration their unique molecular structures and chemical properties. We simulate real production environments under laboratory conditions to ensure the reliability and efficiency of production processes. Custom-designed schemes allow for rapid adjustment of production parameters, achieving efficient process development on a small scale.
When designing synthetic routes, we focus on minimizing unnecessary steps and by-products while enhancing overall yield. This includes selectively using the latest catalysts and reaction conditions to shorten synthesis pathways and reduce energy and resource consumption. Leveraging our rich chemical knowledge and experimental experience, we ensure that each route performs excellently in practical applications.
We carefully select and verify the purity and reactivity of each industrial-grade material to ensure stable product quality and yield even under scale-up conditions. This process significantly reduces production costs while meeting commercialization needs.
We precisely monitor solvent changes during reactions and formulate detailed recovery plans to ensure that reclaimed materials can be reused safely and efficiently. Our goal is to establish a closed-loop production process that conserves resources and effectively minimizes environmental impact, enhancing the eco-friendliness of the process.
Employing advanced analytical technologies such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we conduct comprehensive evaluations of products to ensure they meet quality control standards. We investigate not only the chemical stability and physical properties of the products but also thoroughly test the uniformity and safety of each batch. Through regular and in-depth analysis, we can anticipate potential issues in advance, guaranteeing that each batch meets the predetermined standards and providing clients with reliable nucleic acid drug products.

Biopharmaceutical companies face challenges in creating scalable systems for clinical and commercial production, utilizing flexible setups like single-use technologies. This paper addresses how industry-specific barriers-technical, organizational, economic, and regulatory - obstruct the shift to continuous manufacturing. It emphasizes the importance of process systems engineering (PSE), along with process analysis, modeling, and simulation, as essential tools in overcoming these challenges. The need for clear regulations to support the move to continuous methods in biologics is highlighted. Furthermore, the paper explores the emerging impact of process integration, automation, and digitization as future enablers for shifting from batch to continuous production. It concludes by examining the technical, managerial, and regulatory actions necessary to promote widespread adoption of continuous manufacturing in biopharmaceuticals.
