Description

General description

Polyethylene glycol 1000 (PEG 1000) is a water-soluble polymer used widely in biologics and pharmaceutical formulations. As a carbohydrate, it plays a vital role in enhancing the stability and solubility of biologic drugs. PEG 1000 is particularly significant in the development of sustained-release formulations and protein conjugation, as it reduces immunogenicity and extends the half-life of biologic therapeutics. Its non-toxic, biocompatible properties make it essential in the production of injectable biologics, improving their overall efficacy and safety profile.

The USP biologics carbohydrates category includes a variety of carbohydrate-based substances that are essential in the development and manufacturing of therapeutic products. These carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological processes and are often utilized as excipients, stabilizers, or active ingredients in pharmaceuticals. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of carbohydrate therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
