Lyophilization Services of New England (LSNE), a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), continues their expansion with the addition of increased cGMP storage capabilities at its 7 Commerce Drive facility located in Bedford, NH. This new space is intended to accommodate clients' increased needs for validated storage capacity. The expansion provides for short and long-term cGMP storage of controlled room temperature, refrigerated, and frozen (-20°C and -80°C) temperature-sensitive products. 
 
"The 7 Commerce Drive facility is equipped with validated storage chambers, redundant refrigeration systems and backup generators that are continuously monitored and supported by 24/7 on-site supervision,” said Damon Abernathy, vice president of operations, LSNE. “All of LSNE's cGMP facilities and equipment are designed with a high level of redundancy that reduce risks to our clients' valuable products.”
 
This capability compliments the adjacent QC laboratory to support LSNE's growing analytical and microbiology testing services and offer integrated storage options. This creates a convenient solution that addresses clients cold chain storage requirements. As LSNE-Bedford continues to further support clients' changing needs, this service will be instrumental to managing the entire supply chain more efficiently. 
 
In addition to the validated storage capabilities, the expansion added larger ICH stability chambers for all standard storage conditions including -20°C, 2-8°C, 25°C/60%RH, 30°C/65%RH, 40°C/75%RH. 
 
"Having 80,000 cubic feet of additional on-site cGMP temperature-controlled storage will ensure products reaching patients around the world are stored properly.  We understand dependable storage is critical to our clients' products," said Shawn Cain, chief operating officer, LSNE.
