Greenwood company expands testing lab
Modality Solutions, a leading engineering and advisory firm for the life sciences industry, has launched a new testing laboratory in Greenwood, to meet the growing demand for faster, more rigorous environmental and transport simulation testing. The facility’s expanded capabilities reduce lead times for shipping validation data by approximately 50%, enabling biopharma companies to accelerate critical studies while ensuring compliance with evolving global regulatory expectations.
The Greenwood lab features an expanded temperature range of -70°C to +60°C while maintaining the ability to conduct concurrent hazards testing—expanding Modality Solutions testing capabilities with the only independent labs offering this level of testing for the wider temperature ranges needed for advanced therapies. Compared to Modality Solutions’ Bloomington facility, which specializes in large-scale and pallet-level testing, Greenwood is optimized for smaller-scale studies, including vials and syringes.
