Excipients

Pharmaceutical excipients, which can be functional or inactive ingredients, work to enhance the medically relevant properties of the API. When used to promote ingredient qualities, excipients can be an asset for formulators to increase stability, bulk up the formulation, or enhance the therapeutic effects of the API. Below you can explore helpful resources including editorial coverage and webinars related to pharmaceutical excipients.

From Laboratory to Market: Advanced Analytical Approaches in Biopharma
The drug development landscape has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, driven by advancements in bioprocessing and the rise of biologics. Compared to traditional small-molecule drugs, biologics differ significantly in terms of their production methods, molecular complexities and mechanisms of action.1 Their large size and elaborate ... read more
Advancements in Analytical Techniques
As analytical evaluation thresholds (AETs) continue to decrease, advancements in mass spectrometry have enabled us to keep pace with these changes. We can now screen at much lower levels than before, reliably detecting and identifying compounds that are close to the AET. High resolution mass spectrometry both in the LC and GC space have ... read more
