Consistent batch-to-batch performance is critical for dependable biomanufacturing

Poloxamer 188 is well-known surfactant with a longstanding history of use as an excipient in pharmaceutical drugs. In the biomanufacturing space, it finds application not only as a surfactant for parenteral biological formulations, but also in mammalian cell culture as a shear stress protectant.

One persistent challenge in the market has been the search for reliable manufacturers of poloxamer 188 with the ability to produce consistent, reproducible materials, with dependable outcomes in biomanufacturing processes. In response to the growing demand for high performance, batch-to-batch consistent cell culture ingredients, Croda Pharma has developed Super Refined™ Poloxamer 188. Optimised specifically for cell culture during upstream bioprocessing, Super Refined™ Poloxamer 188 offers excellent cell culture performance with highly controlled impurity profiles that de-risk variable cell performance from batch-to-batch, ensuring consistency in performance and quality.
