About Us
The company was founded in 2016 by Dr Mridul Majumder with a simple motto “Quality Science Delivered on Time”.
Having a rich knowledge and decades of experience, especially in the solid-state analysis, the intention was to set M2M pharma as a company of choice for Material Characterisation with a special emphasis on developing methods for quantifying the small level of amorphous content in micronized samples.
Today, we have all in-house technology that is running, with a principle to cGMP quality system, and supporting our clients regularly. Now, M2M Pharma known in the industry as an "Agile Company" to develop your products at early stage by having air-jet milling-micronisation, planetary milling, spray drying (with an inert loop to handle organic solvent), freeze drying, rotary evaporation, turbula blender etc, as in-house techniques with decades of experience. Analytical techniques like NGI, HPLC are often used to measure APSD, emitted dose, content uniformity etc. for an early stage inhaled product development.
