Largest Catal­ent site will ex­pand cold chain of­fer­ings; First phase com­plet­ed for Avid's CA up­grade 

A Philadel­phia Catal­ent site will get an in­crease in cold-chain pack­ag­ing ca­pa­bil­i­ties to gear up for any fu­ture in­creas­es in gene and cell ther­a­pies.

The site will be ex­pand­ed by 20,000 square feet and add an ad­di­tion­al sev­en tem­per­a­ture-con­trolled pro­cess­ing suites. Those suites can ei­ther be in re­frig­er­at­ed or frozen con­di­tions to match the needs of the drugs han­dled. There will al­so be more stor­age space, and the suites are de­signed for small-scale batch­es of com­mer­cial prod­ucts.
