Pilot Scale-up of Transdermal Formulation
Inquiry
At CD Formulation, we excel in the pilot-scale production of transdermal formulations, ensuring a seamless and efficient scale-up process. With advanced facilities, a highly skilled team, and extensive expertise in transdermal systems, we are a trusted partner for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. Our streamlined approach bridges the gap between small-scale research and full-scale manufacturing.
Introduction to Pilot Scale-up for Transdermal Formulations

The pilot scale-up of drug production is a process study carried out under the condition of simulating industrial production after the small-scale production process is opened up in the laboratory, to verify the feasibility of the original process after the scale-up production and ensure the consistency of the process during research and development and production. The pilot scale-up is not only a simple scale-up, but also a comprehensive verification, review, and improvement of the laboratory process to ensure it is suitable for industrial production. A pilot scale is the only way from drug research and development to production, and it is also an effective measure to reduce the risk of industrialization. Through pilot scale, necessary experience and test data can be accumulated to provide a design basis and guarantee for industrial production. At the same time, the pilot scale can also help find and solve possible problems in the production process and improve production efficiency and product quality.
Comprehensive Pilot Scale-up Services We Offer
We have the world's leading process scale-up production capacity, the workshop is built by GMP requirements, and each function has a complete and reasonable layout, to meet the needs of drug research and development and pilot production. The following production services can be provided:
- Sample production for drug feasibility studies, process development, and early customer development (e.g. early toxicological or pharmacokinetic studies).
- Toxicological sample production, support new drug clinical trial application (IND), and GMP scale-up production process evaluation.
- Support process scale-up and GMP production, including optimization of production scale-up strategies, risk assessment, and simulation of final GMP production conditions.
- Support sample production for later process characterization.
- All kinds of transdermal formulations are produced under GMP conditions.
