Zacks

Air Products & Chemicals Inc. APD announced that it will showcase its portfolio of industrial gases and advanced technologies for different pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications at INTERPHEX 2015 in New York City from Apr 21–23.

Air Products being a global leader in cryogenic technology applications, provides a wide range of advanced technology solutions to help enhance productivity, quality and safety, as well as lower overall costs in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications. Among various cryogenic solutions, Air Products offers quick fixes for reaction or process cooling, size reduction, pelletizing, solvent/VOC recovery, cryopreservation, spray and flash freezing, and lyophilization.

Additionally, Air Products provides some of the best ways for handling solutions using nitrogen blanketing and purging. The company also offers a number of solutions for oxidation, fermentation and hydrogenation applications. Among these, the hydrogenation applications will be supported by a new research and development (R&D) lab, expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2015. The new R&D lab will facilitate the development of better hydrogenation techniques for pharmaceutical materials.

Attendees at the show can speak with Air Products’ experts to obtain knowledge about the various technologies and their applications in the biopharmaceutical industry.
