General description

Every bio-manufacturing process involves buffer preparation, pH adjustment, and cleaning. All our respective GMP (IPEC/EXCiPACT) products are manufactured under Excipient GMP conditions and feature low bioburden levels, backed by our Emprove® Program for exceptional quality and documentation support.

As a result, you can integrate our products directly into your biopharmaceutical production process. In addition to our comprehensive portfolio, we also offer custom manufacturing services to meet your exact needs.

Application

  • As a base for preparing various process buffers.
  • Used to adjust the pH of process solutions, buffers, and media in upstream and downstream processing.
  • Acts as a cleaning-in-place (CIP) agent for equipment, piping, and vessels due to its strong alkaline properties and low levels of metal impurities.
  • Minimizes iron contamination, reducing oxidation risk and interference with downstream purification and analytical steps.

Features and Benefits

  • Comprehensive, up-to-date documentation you need to navigate regulatory challenges, manage risks, and improve processes.
  • Suitable for higher-risk applications where the lowest microbiological and endotoxin levels are of utmost importance.
  • Emprove® products are designed to facilitate compliance with global regulations (e.g., ICH Q7, EU GMP, USP, EP).
  • Detailed supply chain and manufacturing information helps ensure traceability and continuity, which is critical for GMP manufacturing.
