01 · Proposed service scope
Start with the product and its container.
Hard capsule filling is a planned service domain. The formulation, fill properties, target dosage and presentation requirements would dictate the actual processing scope.
The initial Boten plan is based around liquid sterile filling and biological raw materials. Proposed hard capsule services lie outside that project plan and require independent scope confirmation.
Filling powders, granules or pellets into hard shells represent distinct technical challenges. A shared catalogue entry does not imply that dosing equipment for one fill type suits another.
Catalogue boundary
A planned catalogue for scoped evaluation. Inclusion does not establish installed, qualified, licensed or available capability.

A service claim needs a defined evidence base.
- Formulation & fill characteristics
- Exact composition, bulk density, flow properties and intended shell specifications.
- Facility & environmental systems
- Appropriate temperature and humidity controls, processing suites and an agreed technical scope.
- Process parameter evidence
- Defined dosing controls, closure integrity parameters and suitable validation of fill uniformity.
- Quality responsibilities
- Agreed sampling protocols, analytical scope and formal review decision rights.
- Regulatory context
- Applicable permissions for processing the active substance into a solid presentation.
- Technical agreement
- Documented obligations, intellectual property boundaries and disclosure terms for future engagement.
06 · Practical questions
Before a technical discussion.
Is this service currently available?
No. This catalogue entry is Planned. The published page outlines a proposed scope rather than an operating capsule filling service.
Are hard capsules part of the initial plan?
No. The initial plan outlines specific sterile vial, ampoule and cartridge formats. Hard capsule operations require separate scope confirmation.
What information helps define the question?
Detail the intended fill material, shell specifications, development stage, target destination and the documentation question. Confidential information should only be provided through a formally agreed route.
Is there a service launch quarter?
No. No service-specific quarter is established. The project-wide indicative milestones do not commit any individual service to a start date.
Does a technical discussion establish supply?
No. Technical feasibility, processing scope, appropriate permissions, process evidence and a formal agreement would have to be established prior to supply.
