Products and services

Active pharmaceutical ingredient and intermediate synthesis

Using pharmaceutical manufacturing technology that we’ve developed since our founding in 1917 and an exceptional quality control system, we manufacture high-quality pharmaceuticals that provide customers peace of mind.

Commissioned processing

We develop, and conduct joint studies into, intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredients. We satisfy customer requests in a flexible manner with services that include refining from raw materials, milling, and packaging.

Import and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients

As a manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, we offer customers a stable supply carefully selected active pharmaceutical ingredients from overseas suppliers. Drawing on our experience as a manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, we help overseas active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturers and Japanese customers do business by handling overseas manufacturer licensing applications and domestic MF management.

Isotopes

We offer commissioned synthesis services for radioactive and stable isotope tagged compounds used in pharmaceutical and agricultural metabolic testing.

Reaction tanks

Capacity: 4,000 L
These tanks are equipped with stirrers that can reach speeds of up to 17,700 rotations per hour to induce water-related chemical reactions.

Dryers

Fluidized dryer with the 190 L batch capacity. The heater and exhaust air temperatures, drying time, airflow, and agitator speed can be set and adjusted. The desired moisture percentage can be achieved by combining these settings.。

Mills/classifiers

Mills: Dry-type milling is performed with impact mills capable of grinding as much as 150 kg an hour. Classifiers: These classifiers are capable of processing up to 60 kg an hour. The grain size for these machines can be adjusted according to request, from a main size of 10 to 150 μm. They also have a final sieve to prevent mixing in of impurities after classification.

Filling equipment

Primary package filling is performed using a suction type high concentration pneumatic conveyor for low-speed transfer to minimize damage to products.
Our system, which can transport 60 kg per hour, automatically handles the entire filling process, up to ejection of the filled containers.
