Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization
北极星药业（瓦卡维尔）Polaris Pharmaceuticals － Vacaville

完整的最先进的生物制药生产设施。我们在内部执行从细胞库生产到填充和完成的所有制造过程。我们在质量控制和质量保证方面拥有广泛的内部能力，以确保药品生产过程中的合规性丶一致性丶质量和安全性。
Polaris团队在生成基於大肠杆菌的表达和纯化系统方面有丰富的经验，可用於重组蛋白的高水平表达。小规模的开发和优化是在摇瓶和5L工艺开发发酵罐中进行的。GMP生产是在200L发酵罐中进行的。
我们设计并实施与开发阶段相匹配的客户特定流程，并考虑到商业可行性和产品生命周期。开发和临床前活动作为非GMP研究来执行。早期的临床生产由合格的方法和工艺支持，遵循cGMP准则和惯例。
我们灵活的方法和利用适合阶段的活动，为早期阶段节省了成本，同时提供了必要的全面监管支持的合规性保证，为进一步成功推进项目进入後期阶段和商业化cGMP生产奠定了基础。
