Aegis Analytical Corp. has partnered with CTC Laboratory Systems Corp. (CTCLS), a solutions provider in Japan, to help sell Aegis' Discoverant software and oversee product implementations and customer support in Japan.

Together with Aegis' process development and manufacturing solution and CTCLS solutions, such as lab information management software, gene analysis software, adverse event reporting and clinical trial management software, the companies’ goal is to add value by reducing business and patient risk through the identification and control of process variability within manufacturing.

"CTCLS is the best partner to help Aegis with our expansion into the Asia Pacific region, and to support local Japanese customers, as well as worldwide customers that have manufacturing facilities in Japan," said Robert Di Scipio, Aegis president and chief executive officer.

"We look forward to sharing Aegis' expertise and solutions in Quality by Design (QbD), Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and manufacturing process understanding with life sciences manufacturers in the Japanese market," said CTCLS president and chief executive officer Hideki Negishi.
