Custom solutions

If the exact formulation and configuration that is required in your workflow is not currently included in our catalog or buffer library, we offer a fully customized service of made-to-suit rehydrates and powders (single- or multi-component):

  • We can accommodate most formulations in a variety of packaging configurations
  • We offer customizable stability and quality testing to support your workflow needs
  • Additional services could include strategic raw material stocking or storage of finished goods

In addition, we offer a process walk (Gemba) to identify areas for workflow process streamlining and setup. An economic cost modeling tool can help manufacturers understand in-house buffer preparation variables and compare in-house production versus outsourcing.

Contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific technical specialist to request more information about custom solutions or the Gemba process walk.
