During the BioProcess International (BPI) U.S. West conference in San Diego, Spectrum Chemical Mfg. Corp., a major global supplier of specialty, fine and cGMP chemicals, announced the expansion of its bioCERTIFIED™ product range with several new raw materials for R&D and biopharmaceutical production.
Spectrum Chemical has introduced an extended range of biological buffers in its new bioCERTIFIED products portfolio. These buffers are critical in modeling biological systems and have multiple applications in bioprocessing, cell culture, purification, and formulation. For example, biological processes often have a narrow pH range to operate effectively, and buffer solutions are used to maintain the desired pH.
The updated bioCERTIFIED range also features amino acids for protein purification and formulations and pH adjusters, such as sodium hydroxide pellets, to neutralize acids during cell culture and final fill, among other products. Spectrum Chemical has expanded its bioCERTIFIED product range with approximately 100 new products for upstream and downstream bioprocessing. In addition to this, the company also provides hundreds of unique cell culture additives that cater to biosimilars and biologics.
Every bioCERTIFIED product undergoes rigorous lot analysis, which includes extensive testing for bioburden, endotoxin, and elemental impurities. These products also incorporate additional quality control processes in cGMP facilities and are accompanied by scientific documentation and certifications for batch traceability, change control, and supply chain transparency.
With over 50 years of experience producing fine chemicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and excipients, Spectrum Chemical is dedicated to providing high-quality products to support drug discovery and development, clinical trials, and manufacturing biotherapeutics, vaccines, and other pharmaceuticals. The company has multiple facilities and in-house analytical laboratories to ensure the quality of its products for customers worldwide.
Besides its bioCERTIFIED product line, Spectrum Chemical is the sole distributor of inorganic salts from Macco Organiques Inc. for parenteral drug manufacturing.
