In the run-up to the introduction of new drugs to the market, extensive testing on pharmaceutical raw materials is a compulsory prerequisite. Pharmaceutical companies often outsource this process to specialist partners. UNA-Synth Uetersener Naturstoffextraktion und Auftragssynthese GmbH, located in Uetersen near Hamburg, was founded as a test laboratory for such raw materials. Until today, the company has gradually expanded its range of services to the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, becoming an irreplaceable partner in its markets.
