BUFFALO GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANGUS Life Sciences, a newly formed division of ANGUS Chemical Company, the leading manufacturer and marketer of nitroalkanes and their derivatives, today launched TRIS AMINO® HCl PRIME – a new excipient used for purification of biologic or protein drug manufacturing. Used in downstream processes, TRIS AMINO HCl PRIME helps to control pH, offering stability and drug purification when manufacturing at large scales.
“As a result of the changing regulatory landscape, manufacturers may soon be required to monitor and report the levels of elemental impurities in their manufacturing processes. With TRIS AMINO HCl PRIME, our customers have peace of mind knowing there will be very low levels of elemental impurities,” said Doug Ward, market manager at ANGUS Life Sciences. “TRIS AMINO HCl PRIME adds to our rich history of buffer manufacturing and provides a new option for customers needing to control and report levels of elemental impurities.”
TRIS AMINO HCl PRIME offers the lowest levels of elemental impurities of any competitive product available. The total amount of heavy metals is less than one part per million, with individual elemental impurities measured in parts per billion.
