University of Iowa Pharmaceuticals (UI Pharmaceuticals) offers pharmaceutical product development, manufacturing, and testing services for non-sterile liquids, creams, gels, and ointment products. Because UIP is registered with the FDA as a Drug Product Manufacturing and Testing Facility, we are able to produce and test products for both clinical studies and commercial sales. Let us help you meet your non-sterile liquid and semisolid manufacturing and testing needs.
In addition to producing and testing sterile products and solid dosage forms, UI Pharmaceuticals has non-sterile liquid and semisolid manufacturing and testing capabilities for liquids, creams, gels, and ointments, as well as less common dosage forms such as suppositories.
UI Pharmaceuticals has three manufacturing suites: two suites are dedicated to the handling of potent/cytotoxic compounds and one suite is divided into four separate manufacturing rooms and is designed for handling less potent/toxic materials.
Each manufacturing room has its own gowning/entryway that opens from a central staging area.
Differential air pressures and single-pass air, along with other measures including cleaning verification, are used to prevent cross-contamination.
Special protective suites, wireless intercoms, and video feed, and supplied air respirators are used to protect employees from exposure to potent/toxic materials.
The manufacturing area is supported with a clean, dry compressed air system and a hot loop USP Purified Water system.
All incoming air is HEPA filtered and humidity controlled and exhausted air is double HEPA filtered.
UI Pharmaceuticals can process controlled substances schedules I-V and most potent/cytotoxic compounds.
Processing equipment includes a Tonazi tube filler and sealer, various overhead mixers, stainless steel tanks, and Hobart mixers equipped with counter-sweeps.
Finished products can be filled into bottles, jars, or tubes or in bulk.
Finished containers can be labeled. If desired, patient kits can be assembled and materials shipped directly to clinical sites for smaller trials.
