Aluminium Hydroxyphosphate
Vaccine Adjuvant
General Chemical offers an extensive line of Aluminium – based vaccine adjuvants. They offer a range of standard grades but can also customise its vaccine adjuvants to meet the needs of specific vaccines. The products are manufactured at an FDA registered plant in Berkley Heights, New Jersey.
Vaccine Adjuvants
REHYDRAGEL LV is a highly active protein adsorbent specially compounded for use as a fluid adjuvant. It has low oxide content and is carefully controlled for Al2O3 content and protein binding capacity. It has a lower viscosity than competing adjuvants, which makes it easier to process and handle.
REHYDRAGEL HPA is manufactured by special techniques to provide maximum protein binding and point of zero charge at pH 12. It is sterile, low-oxide, thixotropic gel containing sub-micron particles that can boost protein adsorption compared to conventional adjuvants.
REHYDRAGEL CG is non-sterilized gel often diluted to form suspensions having relatively low Al2O3 concentrations or used in veterinary vaccines that need high adjuvant levels. It is highly gelatinous, nearly translucent, and non-reactive.
REHYDRAPHOS is an amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate having an acidic isoelectric point. This property combined with its high surface area gives it a high adsorptive capacity for basic or positively charged antigens. The Al:P ratio is 1:1.
In addition to the grades listed above, General Chemical offers customized adjuvants to meet the needs of specific vaccines.
Potassium Chloride (KCl)
In addition to standard grades of Potassium Chloride General Chemical can customize product for particle size, flavour enhancer content and other customer requirements. They operate a stand-alone plant in Midlothian, Texas, that adheres to current GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and is overseen by the FDA.
Description
Potassium Chloride (KCl) is used extensively by the pharmaceutical and food industries to provide a number of functional benefits including sodium reduction and nutrient replacement. It is also used as a reagent in laboratory testing, as a reducing agent in the high purity metals industry, in the production of photographic film and in buffering solutions. Based on the application, we offer products that vary according to particle size, screen analysis, and moisture content.
Potassium Chloride is a white crystalline or colourless granular material. It is odourless, stable in air and highly soluble in water. In addition to USP- and FCC-certified grades, we also offer those with BP, EP and JP certifications. Special grades include those that resist caking (Nutri-K™) and separation in blends with sodium chloride (Na-K™), as well as those for microencapsulation.
