UK and EU IMP Release Testing

How can Tepnel help you? Take advantage of our experience to drive down your outsourcing budget, giving your programme managers ensured supply chain trust and improved efficiencies which will ultimately help you to manage the economics of bringing a drug to market.

Focus on the things you can change and let go of the things you can’t!

For holders of a Manufacturer’s Authorisation for IMPs (MIA(IMP)) or equivalent, our IMP QC release testing services cover a wide range of formulations including oral dosage, parenteral, complex peptide and inhalation products.

Our focus is on delivering services in a manner that unlocks greater value for all stakeholders. Through the use of the Vested outsourcing philosophy and lean manufacturing tools, we seek to eliminate waste through innovating the way in which we manage your IMP release testing requirements.

By value stream mapping of the processes, including upstream and downstream activity, we are able to offer our customers additional economic value, which results in reduced outsourcing cost to the Contract Giver and increased efficiency and speed, reporting data earlier whilst maintaining compliance.

The advantages of our approach to outsourcing provides our partners with:

  • A knowledge sharing environment which build both trust and transparency
  • A focus on regular interaction which drives innovation
  • A collaborative mindset which delivers outcomes through reciprocity
  • An approach in which it is better to deliver outcomes rather than counting the steps taken
  • Process innovation that results in approximately 35% reduction in turnaround times
  • A management approach to L2L method transfer which is based on reciprocity and which takes away the risk of changing from your current supplier
