Each CDMO is categorized so you can find partners with relevant expertise and licenses.
Match by Stage of Development
Depending on where your product is in the lifecycle, you’ll need a CDMO that can support either:

Choose the Right Batch Size
Scale is key in Contract Manufacturing, and MAI CDMO lets you identify partners with the right production capacity:
-
Small Batches: Ideal for early-stage trials, personalized medicine, or niche markets.
-
Medium Batches: Flexibility for regional launches and scaling-up.
-

Each CDMO profile specifies their standard batch sizes and available scale-up paths.
Target Specific Therapeutic Areas
With ATC-based filtering, you can search for CDMOs that focus on your therapeutic category, including:

Oncology, cardiovascular, CNS, respiratory, dermatology, infectious diseases, and more.
-
Specialized areas like radiopharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and nutrients.
Working with a CDMO that understands your therapeutic area can improve quality, reduce delays, and ease regulatory hurdles.
Consider Safety & Regulatory Complexity
Our platform also allows you to filter CDMO options based on technical capabilities such as:
-
Occupational Exposure Bands (OEB 1–5): For low- to high-potency substances.
-
Biological Safety Levels (BSL 1–4): For biologics requiring containment.
-
DEA Licenses (Schedules I–V): For controlled substances under US regulation.
This ensures that your selected CDMO is equipped to safely handle your product.
