Singapore, Nov. 7 -- Merck has developed a new filtration-based manufacturing process resulting in a new, highly purified sucrose grade with reduced levels of nanoparticle impurities (NPI). The new product, Sucrose EMPROVE(R) EXPERT Ph Eur, ChP, JP, NF, is the ideal choice for the high-risk applications of manufacturing and formulating biomolecules.

As a widely used protein stabilizer for biomolecule formulation, the quality of sucrose is crucial. In an exclusive collaboration with Coriolis Pharma, Merck designed the new purification process and associated nanoparticle analytics of sucrose. The result is a highly pure sucrose that offers the following benefits over non-purified sucrose:

A low level of NPIs on the limit of detection of c...
