To address growing global demand for clinical services, Thermo Fisher Scientific, has opened a new GMP facility in Singapore. Having established its first clinical services facility in Singapore in 2001, the move to this newly built facility will meet the growing demand for clinical supply services in the region. The new site will provide both regional and global pharmaceutical and biotech companies with a one-stop service for clinical suppliesfrom GMP storage, local labeling, secondary packaging, comparator sourcing, handling and distribution of ambient and cold-chain supplies to returns management.

The new facilitiy is nearly 70,000 square feet, more than 60% larger than the previous site and double the cold-chain capacity.

The clinical service facility is equipped with improved technologies and operational tools to serve a growing need for clinical supplies and trials in the region. This includes a larger storage system for its clinical supplies, a new climatic control energy consumption system that reduces the facility's carbon footprint, and an overall building monitoring system that provides staff with timely updates on the facility's conditions.
