Innovative Formulation Solutions

Our approach blends high-throughput technologies with regulatory-approved components and advanced analytics – ensuring your biologic is ready for every stage ahead.

Additional services include: 

  • Formulation and DP process development 
  • Container closure system development 
  • In-use stability and administration studies 
  • Formulation process characterization 
  • Late-stage formulation optimization 
  • High concentration development and formulation robustness studies 

Our Capabilities

pH, Buffer Type & Excipient Screening 

Identify optimal pH, excipient types, and ranges to assess DoE robustness

Surfactant Screening

Evaluate surfactants, agitation, and freeze/thaw stability 

Stress Testing 

Determine degradation pathways 

Stability Testing

Real-Time

Six or more months to evaluate final formulation

Accelerated

Estimate long-term stability under pre-established conditions 

Stressed

Evaluate formulation stability at extreme conditions (higher temperatures, photostability, freeze-thaw, oxidation and agitation, etc) 

HIGH CONCENTRATION SERVICE

Altru-CON

Altruist Biologics’ high-concentration formulation platform enhances therapeutic efficacy and improves patient compliance to make self-administration easier. It enables rapid screening of over 40 buffer systems and over 30 excipient combinations, effectively reducing viscosity and enhancing stability. It supports concentrations up to 200 mg/mL and has successfully advanced multiple projects of various modalities.

  • Two commercial projects with high concentration in autoinjector 
  • High concentration formulation up to 200 mg/mL of complex molecules (BsAb, ScFv, Fusion Protein and TsAb)
