About PML
The Parenteral Medications Laboratories (PML) was started over 40 years ago.The Parenteral Medications Laboratories is the result of a cooperative effort between The University of Tennessee and many private corporations who have special interests in injectable medications. Accordingly, private industry has generously contributed money and equipment to make these laboratories possible. The Laboratories contain a core processing complex designed for academic instruction as well as for the processing of sterile dosage forms. It provides the capacity for small-scale manufacturing of sterile preparations. The faculty and staff associated with the Parenteral Medications Program offer formulation services in the development of sterile formulations, manufacture small lots of products for clinical investigation, develop and determine stability of new sterile products, and apply research projects in parenteral medications technology.
