Why We Do What We Do…
We're passionate about reducing diseases and saving lives while never forgetting humanity must live in co-existence with our planet.
2
How?• By combining the best intellectual resources with the
most sophisticated equipment and instrumentations.
• Over 60 years of combined experience in drug
discovery support and innovation
• Pharmaceutical method development and consulting
• “Hard to solve problems” are our specialty
• Analytical chemistry (NMR, LCMS, HPLC)
• Microbiology (MIC, MBC, MFC, Time Kill)
• Custom synthesis
• Formulations (nanotechnology)
3
Our PromiseWe will operate as an extension of your R&D department.
Better yet, we work on a project basis.
Let’s work together for a week, a month, whatever it takes to solve
your R&D challenge.
Those who know EPS praise us for our service orientation and the
close working relationships we form with our partners. And rest
assured, at EPS we always deploy the most advanced, state-of-the-
art equipment in both chemistry and biology.
Our promise: We will create an opening in your R&D challenges or
solve your problem entirely in a short time frame.

NMR Spectroscopy
• Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer
• Analyzes Small (<1kD) molecules, synthetic or natural
• 1-D: 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P, 15N, 11B, and more
• 2-D: 1H-1H, 1H-13C, and more
• Variable temperature
• T1 measurement
5
LC-MS
• Separates molecules using column (C18 or other)
• Small (0.1-2 kD) molecules, synthetic or natural,
purified or mixture
• Unique set up: allows for detection of virtually any
molecule
• PDA: detects 200-800 nm
• ELSD: detects non-volatile material and non UV active
• MS: dual ESI/APCI ionization, detects charges
7
Organic synthesis
• FTE or project based
• Small molecule and building block synthesis from milligram to kilogram scale
• Comprehensive analytical characterization
• Large scale LC purification capability (both Normal- and Reversed-Phase)
• Fast and efficient optimization of chemical reactions based on proprietary methods
• Hit-to-Lead / Lead optimization (SAR studies, compounds for PK studies, etc.)
• All compounds are guaranteed a minimum of 95% purity
10
Formulations services
• All types of Pre-formulations and product developments of small molecules with liposomes (parenteral) and other type of drug delivery systems (dermal, ocular and others)
• Process development, scale-up technology transfer and process optimization and filtration studies.
• Writing protocols, performing stability and container-closure compatibility studies
12
STEALTH Liposome
Formulation Analytical Services
• HPLC method development
• HPLC measurement of drug potency and degradation
• Formulation stability (chemicals and physical testing)
• pH and osmolality
• Review stability reports and shelf-life assessments of drug
products
• In-vitro drug release testing, topical and ocular tissue
permeation by Franz cell

• Hundreds of bacterial strains available including drug-resistant clinical isolates
• Multiple fungal strains available
• Antiviral testing also available
14
How Easily Does Your Antibiotic Develop
Resistance?

human tissues to test articles
• IC50 measurement
• Multiple cell lines available
• EpiOcular multilayered tissue
mimics corneal epidermis
• EpiDermal multilayered tissue
mimics stratum corneum
17
Microscopy
•Visualization of bacteria,
cells and tissues
•Confocal microscopy
•Fluorescent microscopy
•Stereozoom microscopy
