Putting pharma storage to good use

Newly launched Waterford company Q1 Scientific has built a state-of-the-art stability storage facility with a view to offering an outsourcing solution to the pharmaceutical and medical device industries nationally.

Founder and chief executive Louise Grubb, who previously founded and subsequently sold, animal food supplement company Nutri Science, has identified a demand for the facility, which she says is the first dedicated stability storage site in the country

Stability storage, she explains, is a regulatory requirement for pharmaceutical and lifescience firms carrying out R&D and is also required for quality control.
