The validation lab, together with SSB’s Application Center in Shanghai, provides a full range of extended services to the biopharmaceutical industry.

SSB’s new Shanghai laboratory covers approximately 4,000 sq ft (370 m2). Equipped with the latest instrumentation, it offers microbiological testing services and physical-chemical testing to provide a full range of data for process validation studies in compliance with all regulatory requirements. Certified according to Biosafety Level II (BSL-2), the facility is permitted to handle specific critical bacteria and customer products.
