Large-scale lab latest development in Maybridge expansion programme

The opening of a new 20l-scale laboratory at Maybridge, producer of high quality organic compounds for drug discovery, is part of a continuing programme of development that will see a significant extension of the company's facility in Cornwall, UK.

The new 120m² laboratory, which boasts nine state-of-the-art walk-in fume cupboards, will be home to Maybridge's team of scale-up chemists, including the newly formed Process Development Group, all of whom share considerable expertise in large scale, low temperature reactions. The lab will support the company's ongoing commitment to developing new pre-pack Reactive Intermediates, which significantly reduce the time taken to produce new screening compounds.

Completion and commissioning of this laboratory follows closely on from March's opening of a new smaller scale research laboratory.
