StabilOx® Specialty Oxygen Absorbers work with the product and packaging to resolve product instability issues related to oxygen degradation. Pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, botanical extracts and diagnostic tests are often subject to oxygen- and moisture-mediated degradation. Where oxygen is the primary degradation pathway, StabilOx® eliminates oxygen from the packaged environment without exotic or expensive formulation changes, stopping drug degradation.
StabilOx® Oxygen Absorbers are available in various formats to provide stability solutions for virtually any packaging,including high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, trays and blister packs. This innovative product eliminates oxygen while maintaining the equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) in the package. This ensures the integrity of drug compositions by preventing the cracking and leaching associated with over-drying, while at the same time preventing moisture-mediated degradation. Typical applications include:
Pharmaceuticals
Diagnostics
Dietary Supplements
StabilOx® works with automated dispensing equipment for high-speed packaging lines to:
Eliminate oxygen to prevent instability in pharmaceutical products
Manage free moisture (ERH) to eliminate secondary degradation pathways
Provide exceptional flexibility for any packaging operation
Achieving stability in pharmaceutical formulations or medical devices requires a difficult balance between increasingly-complex variables. Success is vital, and a prerequisite, for a new drug to reach the marketplace. StabilOx® Oxygen Absorbers provide a simple solution that resides inside the packaging instead of the drug product.
Whatever your packaging needs, Multisorb has a StabilOx® scavenger in a format that fits your requirement.
