We are at your side with well-thought-out, pragmatic solutions and with help and advice. Reliable and with comprehensive expertise.

The project for the complete digitalisation of laboratory processes (LIMS implementation) in our contract laboratory is funded by the European Union and the state government of Schleswig-Holstein.

Three core areas. A comprehensive service beyond.

The focus is on the release and authorisation of your medicinal products. Furthermore, we take care of everything that secures the way there, from a single source.

Medicinal Product Release & QP Service

We verify GMP-compliant manufacturing and certify your batches for release in the EEA. For clinical investigational medicinal products (CTR 536/2014) and commercial medicinal products (Annex 16), by our Qualified Person according to § 14 AMG.

The gap

The gap between Large agency and sole practitioner.

You currently need special expertise or a Qualified Person you trust, and the infrastructure behind it. The two rarely exist together. Move the slider and see what is missing at each end.

  • Personal contact One face, direct line
  • Own laboratory and manufacturing authorisation Analytics must be purchased externally; no authorisation according to § 13 AMG
  • Representation in case of absence No backup, no second head
  • Expertise No cross-team knowledge transfer
  • Path to the offer Short and direct

Since the beginning of our cooperation in 2020, A&O Pharma has impressed us as a GMP and GDP consultant in the pharmaceutical sector through deep expertise, precision, flexibility and reliability.

We approached A&O Pharma through cold acquisition. We were quickly impressed by the professional approach and the sound expertise of the Qualified Person (QP) who supports us on site. Since then we have worked together with great trust and would recommend A&O Pharma at any time.

Team & Experts

You work with people, not with a ticket system.

A&O's corporate structure has the advantage that you know everyone working on your topic.

All experts

What we have achieved for our clients.

Anonymised, but real. This is what typical projects look like, before and after our deployment.

What decision-makers ask us before the initial consultation.

Do I need a permanently employed Qualified Person (QP)?

No. That is exactly what we take care of. You do not have to employ your own QP, our Qualified Person according to § 14 AMG carries out the batch certification and release for you.

Does A&O also do small projects and single batches?

Yes. We work both with virtual pharmaceutical companies and biotechs on individual investigational products and with established manufacturers on ongoing projects.

What distinguishes you from a large service provider?

You have a fixed, personal contact person with us instead of changing teams. Personal like a freelancer, secured like a large organisation. In addition, we hold a manufacturing authorisation according to § 13 AMG at each location, in Lörrach expected from the end of the first quarter of 2027. This, combined with our own GMP laboratory, distinguishes us from the vast majority of pharmaceutical consulting companies.

Can you release clinical investigational products?

Yes, we release clinical investigational and comparator products for phase 1 to 3 trials according to CTR 536/2014, as well as commercial medicinal products according to Annex 16.

We are outside the EU. Can you accompany our market entry?

Yes. Via the iMAH model we apply for authorisation and act temporarily as the Marketing Authorisation Holder in the EU ourselves, until you transfer it to your commercial partner.
