IFF Pharma Solutions Launches Low Nitrite METHOCEL™ HPMC for Nitrosamine Mitigation
IFF Pharma Solutions has launched Low Nitrite METHOCEL™ HPMC, a specialized range of cellulose ethers designed to reduce nitrosamine formation risk in pharmaceutical dosages. The innovative product maintains nitrite levels at or below 200 parts per billion, verified through validated 2D ion chromatography with mass spectrometry testing for each batch.
The new product line offers the same reliability and performance as standard METHOCEL™ while addressing industry concerns about nitrosamine risk mitigation. Through enhanced process controls and analytical science, the company ensures minimal nitrite content, making it suitable for applications where low nitrite levels are crucial.
Every batch receives a nitrite test result on the certificate of analysis, demonstrating IFF's commitment to quality and safety standards in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
IFF Pharma Solutions ha lanciato Low Nitrite METHOCEL™ HPMC, una gamma specializzata di eteri di cellulosa progettata per ridurre il rischio di formazione di nitrosamine nelle dosi farmaceutiche. Il prodotto innovativo mantiene i livelli di nitrito a 200 parti per miliardo o inferiori, verificati tramite cromatografia ionica 2D validata con test di spettrometria di massa per ogni lotto.
La nuova linea di prodotti offre la stessa affidabilità e prestazioni del METHOCEL™ standard, affrontando al contempo le preoccupazioni del settore riguardo alla mitigazione del rischio di nitrosamine. Attraverso controlli di processo migliorati e scienza analitica, l'azienda garantisce un contenuto minimo di nitriti, rendendolo adatto per applicazioni in cui bassi livelli di nitrito sono cruciali.
Ogni lotto riceve un risultato del test di nitrito sul certificato di analisi, dimostrando l'impegno di IFF per gli standard di qualità e sicurezza nella produzione farmaceutica.
