Viscosity Reduction Platform by Merck

Carrying out intended dosing regimens often require highly concentrated protein formulations that may be too viscous for subcutaneous administration or other routes of administration that are limited by volume. While reducing viscosity with a single excipient can be ineffective or compromising protein stability, Merck/Millipore Sigma’s viscosity reduction platform of new excipient combinations offers a variety of manufacturing and final formulation benefits:

• Efficient viscosity reduction via synergistic excipient combinations
• Platform flexibility with the right solution for your protein
• Maintenance of protein stability
• Well characterized safety profile (prior parenteral in-human applications and toxicological assessment available upon request)
• IP protection for competitive differentiation

The result: subcutaneous administration of protein-based therapeutics to improve patient compliance and help avoid hospitalization.
