Developing peptide therapeutics presents distinct challenges from managing impurity profiles across complex sequences to navigating the scale-up risks as programs move from clinical to commercial manufacturing, all while meeting stringent global regulatory requirements.
With over four decades of complex API development experience, Neuland Labs enables custom peptide synthesis services spanning milligram to multi-kilogram scale — bringing the process expertise, analytical rigour, and cGMP infrastructure to address these challenges at every stage.
Most peptides between five and sixty amino acids are produced using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis procedures. SPPS is Neuland's primary synthesis platform, delivering high-purity peptides with reproducible results across development and manufacturing scales.
- Reactors up to the 500-litre scale, with facility design supporting future expansion to 2,000-litre synthesizers
- Suitable for both development-stage and commercial-scale production
- Seamless scale-up as your program advances from clinical to commercial phases
For shorter peptides of up to ten amino acids, solution-phase synthesis enables multi-kilogram production with efficient cycle times.
- LPPS reactor capacity ranging from 250 litres to 3,000 litres
- Infrastructure designed to accommodate multiple 5,000-litre glass-lined reactors as demand scales
- Supports secure supply of peptide building blocks, fragments, intermediates, and hybrid constructs strengthening supply chain resilience for complex peptide programs
For longer peptides containing up to forty amino acids, Neuland employs segment condensation and ligation techniques that combine the strengths of both solid and liquid phase methods.

Process Development & Scale-Up Strategy
Neuland's approach to peptide process development is built around establishing critical process parameters (CPP) and critical quality attributes (CQA) early. Our scientists lead synthetic route scouting to design shorter, more efficient routes for large-scale peptide synthesis, particularly where existing methods are impractical for scale-up. This draws on combined expertise across synthetic, medicinal, and preparative chemistry.
Beyond route design, our peptide API development services include detailed impurity profiling at trace, alongside forced degradation studies and stability assessments that define shelf life and storage conditions.

Large Scale cGMP Peptide Manufacturing
Neuland operates under global cGMP peptide manufacturing standards — USFDA, EMA, and PMDA — with 21 CFR Part 11–compliant data integrity systems, DCS-based automation with eBMR integration, and segregated suites to ensure product quality and regulatory readiness.
Our newest facility is expected to be commercially operational by summer 2026, delivering 6,370 litres of combined SPPS and LPPS reactor capacity in its first module.
This complements Neuland's existing 1,174,000 litres of API manufacturing capacity across three USFDA-approved facilities.

FAQ's
A peptide CDMO, or Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation, is a specialised partner that handles the development and manufacturing of peptide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients on behalf of pharmaceutical and biotech companies. As a dedicated peptide CDMO, Neuland provides expertise in custom peptide synthesis services, including process development, analytical validation, and cGMP manufacturing, enabling drug developers to advance peptide programs from early development through commercial supply without building in‑house infrastructure.
Neuland manufactures peptides across a range of lengths using multiple synthesis approaches. Most peptides between five and sixty amino acids are produced by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Shorter peptides of up to ten amino acids are manufactured via solution phase synthesis for multi-kilogram quantities. For longer or more complex peptides containing up to forty amino acids, segment condensation and ligation techniques are employed.
