Multisorb To Promote Intelligent Sorbent Technology At RDD Europe

Drop-In, Fit-In, Built-In Sorbents Enhance Physical and Chemical Drug Stability

Multisorb Technologies will be displaying its sorbent technology for respiratory drug delivery devices at RDD Europe, which is being held in Berlin, Germany, May 21-24, 2013. The RDD conference alternates annually between the US and Europe and is widely regarded as the premier venue for presenting the latest pulmonary and nasal drug delivery advances. 

Multisorb offers intelligent sorbent solutions designed to manage moisture, oxygen, odors, and/or volatized hydrocarbons for RDD devices. Intelligent sorbents protect drug formulations from degradation and extend their shelf life through the supply chain and consumer use. They can be incorporated into drug product packaging and device designs via Multisorb’s Drop-In, Fit-In, and/or Built-In solutions.

Drop-in sorbent solutions offer the management of moisture, oxygen, odors, and/or volatized hydrocarbons in secondary packaging for both HFA aerosol and DPI drug/device combination products. A Drop-In solution consists of a traditional sorbent in packetor canister form inside a pouch or rigid package.

Fit-In solutions, such as Multiform CSF Sorbents, are custom manufactured to a particular shape and size to fit into a device, creating an onboard solution. With compressed intelligent sorbenttechnology, the Multiform CSF Sorbent delivers twice the moisture management in the same volume of space as traditional, loose-fillsorbents. This significantly increases the level of protection per unit volume, enhancing the physical and/or chemical stability profile of the formulations inside the device system. Very often, Drop-In and Fit-In sorbent solutions are used in concert for sensitive DPI formulations for the management of moisture, oxygen, and/or volatilized hydrocarbons.

Multisorb’s Built-In integration approach provides protection to your drug product with use of a PolySorb Sorbent Component. PolySorb components are created by incorporating adsorptionproperties into the thermoplastic structural components of the device, adding multifunctional capabilities to an existing injection molded device part.The approach provides protection for devices specifically engineered for repeat use.

Read more about the use of sorbent technology in Multisorb’s article The Role of Intelligent Sorbent’s in Respiratory Drug Delivery Device, which was published in the February 2013 issue of Inhalation magazine. The article discusses the challenges posed by moisture in RDD devices and outlines the roll intelligent sorbents play removing moisture-induced dosing inconsistencies and protecting the drug stability profile of moisture sensitive drugs.
