About Pharmaceutical Services

Pharmaceutical Services offers a broad array of services aimed at the development of biopharmaceuticals and biosafety testing for both in vivo and in vitro application such as monoclonal antibodies and rDNA proteins.

Best of both worlds

Pharmaceutical Services is a dedicated and certified Contract Service Organization (CSO). As part of a larger organization (Sanquin employs more than 2800 people), financial stability and a broad field of expertise are coupled with the flexibility and dedication of a smaller company. This provides you with a trustworthy partner aimed at meeting your goals and deadlines.

Fully licensed

Our multi-purpose plant and supporting laboratories are located in Amsterdam, very close to Schiphol Airport. The plant is designed to meet the current regulatory requirements for the production and safety testing of biopharmaceuticals. For this purpose, we hold a GMP license for its production activities, a GCLP license for all QC and safety tests, as well as a GLP accreditation for our viral / prion validation services.

Broad expertise

Pharmaceutical Services has more than 15 years experience in designing production strategies and scaling up of production of biopharmaceuticals using state-of-the-art fermentation and purification techniques, including potent virus inactivation and removing steps. In contrast to what many other contract manufacturers offer, Pharmaceutical Services can also provide you with a broad expertise in the field of biosafety testing and other similar supportive services, such as the process validation for demonstrating reduction of viruses and prions during purification and stability and formulation studies.
