The new product list includes Sodium Chloride United States Pharmacopeia–European Pharmacopeia (USP-EP), an inorganic salt with multiple applications ranging from cell culture to downstream purification and polishing, and Sucrose (beet-derived) USP-EP, National Formulary, Japanese Pharmacopeia, and Chinese Pharmacopeia, a sugar/carbohydrate for upstream cell culture and downstream final fill.

“We have a 50-year track record providing products with comprehensive scientific documentation to quality-focused industries such as pharma and biopharmaceuticals,” said Russell Kneipp, chief operating officer, Spectrum Chemical, in a company press release. “All bioCERTIFIED products carry our ‘100% tested, 100% transparent, 100% trusted’ guarantee, reflecting our ongoing commitment to support biopharmaceutical development and production of biologics for new vaccines, therapeutics, and an array of future applications.”
