- Q1 Scientific will open a new facility in Durham, NC, offering advanced stability storage by the end of 2024.

Cambrex, a contract development and manufacturing organisation, is set to expand its stability storage business, Q1 Scientific, by opening a new facility in Durham, North Carolina. This facility, scheduled to be operational by the end of 2024, will feature advanced environmentally-controlled storage capabilities and will be located next to Cambrex’s existing analytical facility.
The new Durham site will initially house seven ICH stability chambers, offering a range of conditions, including 2-8°C, 25°C/40%RH, 25°C/60%RH, 30°C/65%RH, and 40°C/75%RH, along with both -20°C and ultra-low (-70°C/-80°C) storage conditions. A second phase of expansion, planned within the next 24 months, will increase the facility’s capacity to 20 chambers, potentially providing 20,000 cubic feet of storage space. Located in Research Triangle Park (RTP), this facility will enable same-day and next-day delivery services across the United States.
Tom Loewald, CEO at Cambrex, stated, “We are thrilled to expand Q1 Scientific’s reach into Durham, North Carolina, enhancing our ability to serve pharmaceutical companies across North America. This investment not only broadens our footprint but also leverages Q1 Scientific’s extensive expertise in the stability storage business.”
