Synopsis

This presentation will review and highlight the importance of surfactants in the production and formulation of biological actives for the biopharma industry. It will introduce and explain BASFs approach to this key class of functional materials for the biopharma industry, and the impact of excipients on biologics formulations. It will also cover the effect on stability under different stress conditions and also discuss alternative surfactants polysorbate 20 and 80: Poloxamer 188 (Kolliphor® P 188 Bio), Kolliphor® HS 15, Kolliphor® ELP).
