Product Types & Technology

Specialized Expertise Across Complex Topical and Liquid Drug Products

Pharmaceutical product types are not interchangeable, and neither are the technologies required to develop, scale, and manufacture them successfully. Semi-solids, non-sterile liquids, and advanced lysosomal formulations each present distinct formulation, analytical, manufacturing, and regulatory challenges that demand extensive and focused expertise.

For over 35 years, CPL has served as a pure-play CDMO for semi-solids and non-sterile liquids, with advanced capabilities in micro encapsulation. We combine formulation science, analytical rigor, skin testing, and GMP manufacturing to support complex drug products from molecule to commercialization.

Industry Challenge

Product Complexity Demands Specialized Technology

Industry Challenge

Different dosage forms behave very differently during development and scale-up.

Dedicated platforms for each product type.

CPL builds product-specific formulation, analytical, and manufacturing strategies for liquids, semi-solids, and microencapsulation systems.

Industry Challenge

Semi-solids and liquids are sensitive to small formulation or process changes.

Tight control of CPPs and CQAs.

CPL maintains knowledge continuity through structured documentation, equipment equivalency, scale-up modeling, and cross-functional involvement from the start.

Industry Challenge

Liquid suspensions commonly face sedimentation and caking challenges.

Non-sterile liquid suspensions expertise

CPL has extensive expertise in formulating, manufacturing, and packaging suspensions, ensuring the quality needed for the product’s full shelf life.

Industry Challenge

Generalist CDMOs lack depth in complex topical and liquid products.

Pure-play focus.

CPL’s entire organization is purpose-built around semi-solids, non-sterile liquids, and advanced topical technologies.

CPL’s Solution

Product-Specific Expertise, Unified by One Integrated Model

CPL delivers differentiated product-type expertise through a single, integrated development-to-manufacturing ecosystem. Regardless of dosage form or delivery technology, every program benefits from:

  • Product-specific formulation and analytical expertise
  • Integrated IVRT/IVPT skin testing
  • Early development and scale-up manufacturing
  • Seamless tech transfer into GMP manufacturing
  • Clinical and commercial production under one roof

Why Clients Choose CPL for Complex Product Types

Focused Expertise, Not Generalist Capabilities

CPL is purpose-built for semi-solids, non-sterile liquids, and advanced topical delivery—not stretched across multiple dosage forms.

Technology That Scales

From suspensions to liposome-in-semisolid systems, CPL selects and designs technologies that scale predictably into commercial GMP manufacturing.

Integrated Skin Testing & Analytics

IVRT, IVPT, and analytical method development are embedded into product design, informing decisions early and strengthening regulatory packages.

Continuity from Molecule to Market

Formulation, testing, process development, manufacturing, packaging, and supply chain all operate within a single organization.

Commitment.
Partnership. Legacy.

Leverage CPL’s 35 years of expertise in non-sterile liquids and semi-solids to ensure your program's success. We’ll support your product from molecule to market, or step in at any stage of its product lifecycle.
