Description of the Service Centre

Solid state chemistry in its broadest manifestation involves using the crystal structure and solid state analytical information to explain solid-state properties, which is crucial to develop new drugs. At Hovione, the mission of the group is to collaborate with customers in the field of solid state, particularly in the characterization of solid phases of raw materials to finished products, from API to drug products in all stages of development and production. Innovation is continuously promoted.
