Biological buffers are used in a number of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes, including monoclonal antibody, gene therapy, vaccine, and tangential flow filtration steps. The chemical components found in these products are sensitive to changes in pH, and thus require buffers to keep the pH within a specified range. Buffers are formulated with either a conjugate acid or base. The conjugate is chosen based on the type of product to be processed and the process steps that will be performed during its preparation. Typically, these solutions have a stable pH of between 7.0 and 10.0.
Market Dynamics:
The global biopharma buffer market is expected to grow at a high growth rate during the forecast period. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for aqueous solutions for cleaning and disinfecting downstream processing equipment. Moreover, growing research activities related to protein crystallization and cell culture techniques and the use of buffers in drug discovery and development processes are other factors propelling market growth.
However, complexity associated with the preparation of buffer is expected to hamper the market growth.
