November 15, 2024- Cardinal Health’s Global Medical Products and Distribution business recently celebrated the grand opening of its new Scientific Services Chemistry Center, a state-of-the-art testing and FDA-regulated laboratory located within its Mansfield, Massachusetts, office. The Chemistry Center includes nearly 26,000 square feet of lab space dedicated to innovation and quality assurance and will provide a comprehensive range of testing services, helping to accelerate new product development, enhance business continuity and manufacturing efficiency, and enable best-in-class regulatory compliance.
By adhering to industry standards, including FDA approval through the Accreditation Scheme for Conformity Assessment (ASCA), Cardinal Health ensures that its products, both self-manufactured and contract manufactured, undergo rigorous safety and efficacy testing before reaching the market.
With experienced scientists, the Chemistry Center will handle a comprehensive range of testing services – from routine quality control testing to advanced research and development projects, supporting Cardinal Health’s commitment to safeguarding patient health. The lab will initially focus on chemical characterization which is a crucial part of the biological evaluation process and often the first step in assessing the safety of a medical device. Later capabilities will expand into pharmaceutical stability and product microbiology.
