New Pharmaceutical Applications Demand Intelligent Sorbents
8/5/2008
An intelligent sorbent is designed to provide a specific management outcome, which could be controlling the level of moisture, oxygen, and/or hydrocarbons in a pharmaceutical packaging system. A sorbent might be used to maintain a specific humidity range to maintain a drug’s stability, or reduce or eliminate volatilized hydrocarbons. In some cases it is necessary for a sorbent to carry out multiple protective functions. By Adrian Possumato, Global Director, Healthcare Packaging, Multisorb Technologies
