Vaccine Adjuvant: Alhydrogel™

Vaccine Adjuvant: Alhydrogel™
Product Description

  • Alhydrogel is a range of aluminium hydroxide gel products which have been specifically developed for use as an adjuvant in human and veterinary vaccines
  • The gel is a suspension of boehmite-like (aluminium oxyhydroxide) hydrated nano/micron size crystals in loose aggregates
  • The products have very low conductivity due to the absence of buffering ions.
  • They have a positive charge at neutral pH and effectively adsorb negatively charged antigens
  • The primary purpose of the adjuvant in vaccines is to boost the antibody-mediated (Th2) immune response to the antigens.
  • Alhydrogel products can be combined with other adjuvant types (such as monophosphoryl lipids) to achieve a balanced Th1/Th2 immune response.
  • Alhydrogel is produced in classified clean rooms to prevent contamination, sterilised and aseptically filled in a grade A clean room.
