Stage 3 — Formulate & Scale

ADC Formulation Services

Identify the right buffer, confirm stability across storage conditions, and ensure your ADC survives the journey from bench to animal study — or beyond.

What We Offer

Formulation development is often an afterthought — until your ADC aggregates in the syringe or loses activity after a freeze-thaw cycle. We help you get ahead of these problems early.

Buffer Screening

  • pH range screening (5.0–8.0)
  • Excipient panel (sucrose, trehalose, mannitol, polysorbate 20/80)
  • Salt concentration optimization
  • Accelerated stability (40°C, 1–4 weeks)
  • Readouts: SEC, DAR, activity

Freeze-Thaw Stability

  • Up to 5 freeze-thaw cycles tested
  • Multiple time points (T=0, 1wk, 1mo, 3mo)
  • Analytical panel at each time point
  • Comparison across formulation conditions
  • Storage condition recommendations

Formulation Recommendation Report

  • Ranked formulation candidates
  • Supporting analytical data
  • Recommended storage conditions
  • Risk assessment for in vivo use
  • Ready for regulatory documentation

Stability Study Time Points

We design stability studies to match your program timeline and regulatory needs.

Time Point Storage Condition Analyses Performed
T = 0 (Baseline) Fresh / post-formulation SEC, DAR (HIC/LC-MS), activity assay
T = 1 week 4°C, −20°C, −80°C SEC, visual inspection
T = 1 month 4°C, −20°C, −80°C SEC, DAR, activity assay
T = 3 months 4°C, −80°C Full panel: SEC, DAR, LC-MS, activity
Freeze-Thaw Cycles −80°C ↔ RT (up to 5 cycles) SEC, DAR, activity at each cycle

Need Scale-Up After Formulation?

Once you’ve identified your optimal formulation, we can reproduce your conjugate at 1–2 g scale in that exact buffer — with full QC to confirm lot-to-lot consistency.
