In small molecule pharmaceutical market, trend is moving towards widely varied smaller volumes. In order to address these changes, new efficient production technology is required. Continuous manufacturing, or Flow Chemistry, is a manufacturing technology that achieves spontaneous reaction to charge raw materials step-by-step into reaction tubing and presents an easy, safe and convenient approach to manufacturing, including reactions that may require tough or dangerous conditions under typical batch reaction. This new equipment is a unique, Kaneka designed, reactor that allows diversity of application through the ability to select the relevant parameters of the reaction tubing and provides the highest performance of reactions. Kaneka Singapore has been qualified as a manufacturer from the US FDA*2 in 2017, and we expect to apply such continuous manufacturing infrastructure to various products, including targets requiring GMP
