Acids for Classical Analysis

EMSURE® acids for analysis are our premium grade for all regulated and highly demanding lab applications. Most EMSURE® acids for analysis meet or exceed the requirements of ACS, ISO and/or Reag. Ph Eur. They feature the best and most extensive product specifications available worldwide as well as the widest range of pack sizes and packaging options – from 25 mL glass bottles up to 200 L PE barrels.

If you need less performance, but still top-notch quality and reliability, our acids for analysis EMPARTA® are for you. They meet the requirements of ACS and are suitable for a multitude of analytical lab applications. Additionally, our EMPLURA® grade of acids covers the most important specification parameters and is suitable for preparative lab work, cleaning and production.

For maximum safety in your lab operations, we have developed innovative packaging solutions like our Safebreak bottle, a PE-coated glass bottle, and the SafetyCap for reagents generating excess pressure in the bottle. With our acids for analysis, you benefit from application-oriented quality, more flexibility and safety, and an excellent cost-performance ratio.

Acids for Pharmacopoeia Analysis

EMSURE® acids for pharmacopoeia analysis meet and even exceed global quality norms, including ACS and Reag. Ph Eur standards. Widely accepted in pharmaceutical quality control, these reagents streamline audits and reduce validation efforts and costs.

Designed for highly regulated and advanced lab applications, these premium grade acids offer the highest standards for purity and safety. The products include extensive specifications with low limiting values and come with a comprehensive certificate of analysis. Additionally, they ensure consistent batch-to-batch quality, providing high accuracy and reproducibility in even the most challenging analyses. EMSURE® acids are the ideal choice for analysis according to European Pharmacopoeia and USP-NF requirements

Biopharmaceutical and Pharmaceutical Formulation and Production Products

In pharmaceutics, the regulatory world is everchanging. Keeping up with the latest requirements, while not losing track of the market itself is definitely not an easy task to fulfill. And as the pressure caused by generics and biosimilars making their way into the market keeps rising, it becomes more and more important to focus on what really matters: Quality and the right partner throughout your product journey.

We support you in every step of development, scale-up, and production with services that range from process optimization to regulatory affairs support. Our SAFC® portfolio of high-quality products for biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical formulation and production withstands strict quality control procedures and is produced according to applicable cGMP guidelines.

As part of our Emprove® Program, our raw materials also come with extensive documentation facilitating compliance of your pharma and biopharma product, full supply chain transparency and risk mitigation.

Volumetric Solutions for Titration

Our Titripur® volumetric solutions and Titrisol® concentrates offer a range of acids in different concentrations for quantifying compounds with the titration method. They are produced and analyzed under high quality standards. The Titripur® solutions are analyzed by our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. An innovation in this area are our digital products with an RFID tag on the bottles for seamless data transfer.
