Enriched by Experience · Empowered by Research

Research at the heart of progress.

Anuh Pharma's DSIR-recognised R&D division — a 10,000 sq ft centre at Mahape, Navi Mumbai — drives process innovation, new molecules and continuous quality improvement across three specialised labs: an Analytical Development Lab, a Chemical Synthesis Lab and a Pilot Plant. We believe research lies at the heart of progress, and we bring six decades of API expertise to every project.

Analytical Development Lab

Reliable, reproducible analytical methods are essential to pharmaceutical development and to proving potency, purity and stability. Our state-of-the-art lab develops, qualifies and validates the methods that characterise and profile every product — run by a young, passionate team.

Services offered
  • Product analysis per pharmacopoeias
  • Method development & validation
  • Impurity profiling & identification
  • Related substance analysis
  • Residual solvent analysis
  • Particle size analysis
  • Polymorphism detection
  • Stability studies (ICH)

Process R&D

Chemical Synthesis Lab

Our chemists run lab-scale reactions to develop new processes and products. Through careful physical and chemical manipulation they devise reliable, reproducible and — crucially — scalable routes, applying statistical design of experiments to optimise yield, cost and impurity profiles.

Services offered
  • Process development & improvement
  • Scalable route design
  • Isolation & characterization of impurities
  • Statistical designs (DoE)
  • High-pressure & specialised reactions
  • Reactor-mimicking glassware

Scale-Up & Manufacturing

Pilot Plant

The pilot plant scales up processes developed in the Chemical Synthesis Lab and manufactures Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients for clinical trials and validation batches — the bridge from bench to commercial manufacturing.

Services offered
  • Scale-up of lab-developed processes
  • APIs for clinical trials & validation
  • Cryogenic to elevated-temperature reactions
  • Inert-atmosphere operation
  • Data-logged, controlled environment
  • Epoxy anti-static flooring & scrubbers
