The importance of disaccharide excipients in biologics

The stability of biologic formulations hinges on the strategic use of high-purity injectable-grade disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose. These excipients are crucial in preventing collapse and ensuring complete reconstitution during lyophilization. Explore the science of vitrification and water replacement, where these sugars protect biologics from the stresses of freezing and drying.

Critical parameters like glass transition and collapse temperatures dictate formulation success. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to secure the global supply chain for these essential ingredients has become more pressing. Discover how proactive strategies and robust networks are crucial to maintaining stability in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Read the full article to uncover the indispensable role of these sugars in stabilizing biologics and securing the future of pharmaceutical production.
