BUEST Science Students Visit Morepen Laboratories for Industrial Exposure

Postgraduate chemistry and microbiology students gain insights into pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control

Baddi: The School of Sciences at Baddi University of Emerging Sciences and Technology organized an industrial visit for M.Sc. Chemistry and M.Sc. Microbiology students to the manufacturing facility of Morepen Laboratories Ltd. on February 5, 2026.

The visit was aimed at providing practical exposure to students and enhancing their understanding of industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, quality control practices, regulatory compliance systems, and the integration of scientific knowledge with large-scale pharmaceutical operations.

Morepen Laboratories is a well-established Indian pharmaceutical and healthcare company known for manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), a wide range of finished formulations, over-the-counter healthcare products, and diagnostic medical devices. The company exports its products to more than 80 countries and holds certifications from major global regulatory authorities, including USFDA, WHO-GMP, and EU-GMP.

The visit began with a welcome address by Mr. Anand, HR Manager, and Mr. Rajiv Saini, Deputy Manager, who provided students with an overview of the company’s organizational structure, major departments, operational activities, and key products.

During the facility tour, students visited the production department, where they observed the systematic workflow involved in the manufacturing of APIs and finished dosage forms under strict compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The emphasis on maintaining quality standards throughout the production process was highlighted.

Students also visited the Quality Control department, where they learned about the rigorous testing procedures used to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. They were introduced to advanced analytical instruments such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and UV-Visible Spectroscopy, which play a crucial role in pharmaceutical analysis and quality assurance.

The company representatives also discussed the organization’s strong focus on research and development, its state-of-the-art laboratories, and the use of advanced technologies to meet international quality standards.

The industrial visit proved to be highly informative, helping students bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world industry practices. It significantly enhanced their understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality control measures, and the practical application of analytical instrumentation in the pharmaceutical sector.
