Company Profile
TTP LabTech's business is about partnering with others in the application of new science to the creation of novel instrumentation and systems. From our base near Cambridge, UK, we design, develop, manufacture and market outstanding solutions for specific and identified needs within the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

Innovations in drug development can require innovative manufacturing processes and specialist equipment. As TTP LabTech manufactures its own large and small scale products (from the comPOUND/comPILER store-to-plate processing system down to the bench-top mosquito), it is in a unique position to understand and optimise the process for custom developments.

TTP LabTech has developed process-specific:small-scale manufacturing equipment; commercial-scale manufacturing equipment; 21 CFR Part II compliant control systems and data management.

Process scale up
Process-specific commercial manufacturing equipment is a significant capital investment. TTP LabTech has worked with clients to move from a laboratory scale novel pharmaceutical process to a unique commercial scale machine. A custom small batch machine can form a useful stepping stone, giving an opportunity to develop process knowledge before committing to large scale automation.

We bring a wealth of experience to the process, including: IP management; process research - working with the client to understand their technology's potential; process automation design; equipment design and fabrication; bespoke software

21 CFR Part II Compliance
TTP LabTech has experience in designing 21 CFR Part 11 compliant control solutions for manufacturing equipment. Previous solutions have included: 'paper to glass' machine control; PLC-based control solutions for reduced validation overhead.

Practical Implementation
TTP LabTech provide Functional Specifications, Hardware Design Specifications and Software Design Specifications produced using GAMP4 templates, to facilitate validation and compliance. Assistance can be provided with installation, additional documentation and staff training.
