Westwood, MA — Microfluidics, exclusive global creator of Microfluidizer® high shear fluid processors, is now partnering with Particle Sciences, Inc., a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO). This new alliance is designed to give the companies more ways to serve their clients with complex formulation development as well as lab support testing services in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical processing.

“Particle Sciences has been a good partner in the past, making our decision to work more closely with them an easy one,” said Brad Besse, Business Unit Director at Microfluidics. “They have shown themselves to be leaders in nanoparticle production, specifically with our technology.”

CEO at Particle Sciences, Dr. Mark Mitchnick, added, “Particle Sciences is the leading CDMO for nano-based products. We have worked with Microfluidics since before their acquisition by IDEX, and already have several machines installed. We are seeing an increasing need for the highly consistent performance Microfluidizer® technology is able to deliver. This, combined with Particle Sciences’ deep understanding of the technology and our base capabilities in characterization and sterile production is driving the relationship expansion. We have formulated multiple products with Microfluidizer® technology, recently manufacturing 120L of a sterile emulsion for a client using the equipment and have several more in the pipeline.”

Besse also said he believes “that by working together, both parties can expand their application expertise and support services to better serve our customer needs. In addition to formulation and clinical trial production, Particle Sciences affords our customers the ability to work with highly potent compounds under cGMP guidelines, in a purpose-built facility.”
