Simplified Formulations
Formulation is often a complex, multi-step process, adding considerable time and cost to development. The mSAS® process involves a single step, and enables design of particles which contain all the components required for a medicine to perform, reducing the need for downstream processing.

Biomolecule Processing
Biotherapeutics such as peptides, proteins, antibodies and oligonucleotides are often delicate and easily damaged. mSAS® provides a gentle way to process biomolecules as free-flowing powders, retaining high levels of activity, reducing cold chain and enabling easier reconstitution.

Natural Products
Natural products are often highly complex and conventional approaches to their extraction, purification and formulation can be inefficient and often result in a poor-quality product. mSAS® simplifies production of natural products, allowing fine tuning of the components of a medicine and improvements in quality and consistency.

Green Manufacturing
Improvements in human health should not come at a cost to the planet, yet traditional approaches to medicine manufacturing carry a high environmental burden. mSAS® enables the production of medicines with lower waste, reduced emissions, using less solvent, and greatly improved energy efficiency.

Intellectual Property
Innovation in medicine development often requires robust protection of intellectual property (IP). The mSAS® process provides numerous opportunities to enhance IP, whether through novel solid-state forms, improved formulations, or new routes of delivery.

mSAS® Technology
The Crystec team have pioneered the development of mSAS®, a modified Supercritical Anti-Solvent process. mSAS® is a powerful technology for engineering particles to improve the bioavailability, stability, and delivery of small molecule and large molecule therapeutics.
This unique platform enables the size and shape of particles to be finely tuned. Where required, more than one drug can be combined in a particle, or excipients incorporated in the particle to further enhance performance and reduce manufacturing complexity. We design particles with the medicine in mind, hence Performance in Every Particle®.
In the mSAS® process, a drug molecule and any other required components are dissolved and introduced into a vessel together with a stream of supercritical carbon dioxide which rapidly extracts the solvent, enabling the drug to be precipitated under precise, tuneable conditions. Among the many strengths of the mSAS® platform are the ability to manipulate the crystallinity of small molecule therapeutics and to generate free-flowing powders of biomolecules whilst retaining high levels of activity.
