AmbioPharm’s Advantage – Low Cost of Manufacturing
• Close to all the major raw material manufacturing companies (amino acid derivatives and solvents)
• Low cost to manufacture under fully controlled cGMP quality system and experienced management team
• Low cost on solvents
DMF, a major cost for peptide synthesis on large scale
US Competitor’s cost: $3,500/ton
AmbioPharm’s cost: $1,450/ton
• The solvent recovery system reduces the manufacturing cost further on larger scales
