EMD Millipore, the Life Science division of Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany, today announced the expansion of its EMPROVE® raw materials portfolio to 400 active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and biopharmaceutical materials. The products offer comprehensive application-specific documentation in addition to superior quality, allowing pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce qualification costs and accelerate time-to-market processes.

Increase Patient Safety and Streamline Pharmaceutical Process

The portfolio includes EMPROVE® api for active pharmaceutical ingredients, EMPROVE® exp for excipients and EMPROVE® bio for biopharmaceutical materials - all of which provide the documentation needed to improve transparency and more efficiently receive necessary approvals. The ready-to-use documentation, prepared in an internationally accepted format, prevents the errors that can result from gathering the information manually, minimizing risk to patients. The pre-compiled information also helps streamline the pharmaceutical process by saving both time and money.

Depending on the application, the EMPROVE® documentation can contain information such as manufacturer and manufacturing process details, testing procedures, purity and stability data. The active pharmaceutical ingredients are manufactured according to cGMP guideline ICH Q7, the excipients are EXCiPACT™ certified and the biopharmaceutical materials can be used in both upstream and downstream process steps.

Secure Final Approvals More Efficiently

"We are proud to reach the milestone of offering 400 different EMPROVE® raw materials to our customers," said Dr. Matthias Bucerius, Head of Pharma Raw Materials. "This product line has a long-standing history of combining reliability and safety with our deep knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry's ever-changing regulatory requirements, supporting our efforts to help our customers to secure final approvals more efficiently."
