companies , particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic . The company has provided support to vaccine manufacturers in their race for emergency use authorization of vaccines . Merck ’ s Quality Management System was designed to be more than just a regulatory requirement . It has an in-built " Business Continuity Plan " ( BCP ) that has been in place for many years before the pandemic . This futuristic approach has helped the company to maintain its operations , even during unexpected events .
The Validation Services Lab of Merck at Bangalore was up and running in accordance with well-established BCP . This enabled us to contribute to mankind during times of crisis by providing validation services for various buffers utilized in COVID vaccine production , validating singleuse technologies employed in vaccine fill-finish processes , and validating emergency medications such as Remdesivir and antifungals like Amphotericin . These services were not only extended to biopharmaceutical manufacturers in India but also to manufacturers worldwide , as other laboratories offering similar services were closed during this period . The dedication and commitment of Merck ' s Validation Lab team were unmistakable as they displayed a willingness to surpass expectations during such demanding circumstances .
