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

10% Hydrochloric acid is a high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade acid solution specifically designed for use in regulated environments such as biopharmaceutical manufacturing. It can be used as:
  • To adjust the pH of process solutions, buffers, and media during upstream and downstream processing.
  • In cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures for equipment and piping, ensuring removal of residues and maintaining aseptic conditions.

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.
