GMP Drug Delivery Manufacturing
Seqens’ R&D centers provide extensive expertise in tailor made-polymers design to meet your needs. Our portfolio of polymers, all manufactured under GMP standards, includes:
Expansorb®
- Expansorb® portfolio of PLA/PLGA copolymers used as functional excipients for controlled and slow drug release (weeks to months) with a single injection. We can provide small or bulk quantities for screening PLA/PLGA ± PEG polymers (up to 50 references available) to improve formulation during early-stage development.
Vitamin E TPGS
- Vitamin E TPGS (Vitamin E, D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene, glycol, 1000 succinate), a water-soluble derivative of natural Vitamin E, widely used as an excipient in drug delivery systems because it acts as a solubilizer and enhances permeability to improve bioavailability of poorly absorbed drugs.
