Protein Stabilizers


Protein StabilizersSterile liquid applications demand excipients of the highest quality, purity, and reliability. Our comprehensive portfolio of high-quality pharmaceutical excipients offers everything you need for your medicinal drug product, backed by the regulatory and quality support of the Emprove® Program to streamline approval preparation and accelerate your processes. When your goal is a successful journey to market for small- or large-volume parenteral applications, you can count on our industry know-how, regulatory expertise, and comprehensive documentation to help you go forward with confidence.

High-quality protein stabilizers for biomolecules

Specifically developed for high-risk applications, our portfolio of high-quality sugars, polyols, and amino acids simplifies selection when you face critical challenges such as preventing aggregation during manufacturing. Benefits include:
  • Low endotoxin and microbial limits
  • Elemental Impurity Information according to ICH Q3D
  • Emprove® Program and documentation supporting risk assessment
  • Emprove® Expert GMP-grade products for high-risk applications

Increase efficiency during your downstream process

The production of antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins involves several downstream processing unit operations. The widely used purification template with Protein A chromatography, virus inactivation at low pH, and subsequent ion exchange chromatography steps is mostly able to remove impurities like aggregates, host-cell proteins, and viruses, which could affect the safety and efficacy of the product.

The low pH elution during Protein A chromatography, as well as during virus inactivation may induce aggregation. Preventing protein aggregation during these unit operations instead of removing the multimeric forms during subsequent polishing steps would be a more efficient strategy. Curious to learn more how the aggregation levels in the final product formulation can be minimized by excipients?
