The applications for Medical Grade polymer projects we have engaged in have included medical devices (510k), drug delivery technologies, therapeutics, excipients, and medical grade coatings. All of these projects begin in our laboratories enabling our teams to not only improve many of our polymerization processes, but also to adopt the latest analytical techniques to support their development. Seqens also has the capacity to produce all of our cGMP polymers in our Newburyport facility from kilo’s to tons.
