Maintain the Integrity of Your Healthcare Products With Unrivaled Sorbent Solutions
Multisorb helps safeguard the quality and effectiveness of healthcare products by providing advanced sorbent solutions that control moisture and oxygen, key factors that can compromise stability and shelf life. Since 1961, the company has supported the pharmaceutical and medical device industries with tailored desiccants and oxygen absorbers designed to meet specific preservation needs. These materials, made from substances like molecular sieves, silica gel, and carbon, actively absorb moisture, oxygen, and odours to maintain a controlled packaging environment. By protecting sensitive products from environmental degradation, Multisorb’s solutions play a critical role in ensuring product safety, stability, and efficacy throughout their intended lifespan.
Multisorb’s innovative sorbent solutions protect the integrity of your healthcare products, enhance longevity, and ensure safety.
Multisorb offers a wide range of customizable sorbent solutions for the healthcare industry, including oxygen absorbers and desiccants. These versatile solutions are designed to protect pharmaceutical products, ensuring stability and efficacy. Our offerings from the Multisorb range of products:
StabilOx®
IntelliSorb®
StripPax®
StabilOx® is designed to control the oxygen which is a main factor of the degradation of sensitive product. By reducing the presence of oxygen inside packaging, StabilOx® extends the shelf life of pharmaceutical products while maintaining a dry environment. The oxygen absorber is added to the packaging which allows for a reduction in drug material cost in production. To be more precise, StabilOx® is in canister or sachet/packet formats. Here, the StabilOx® saves money rather than undertaking a costly change to the drug formulation.
IntelliSorb® goes beyond traditional drying capabilities by regulating and managing the whole environment of the medical device or drug package. It can regulate the relative humidity as well, the water activity, the oxygen or the hydrocarbons. This one goes beyond every absorber which could exist. The main application is for the gelatin capsule, unstable drug and diagnostic chemistries and for the DPI formulations and devices, which are more unstable than some other drugs.
StripPax® is a compact, flexible desiccant packaged in cut strips or spools. This product is ideal for tablets and capsules packaged in blisters or bottles, offering protection against moisture while taking up a minimum of packaging space. Made from durable and fiber material, this one allows water vapor transmission, eliminating the risk of leaks while allowing moisture and gases to pass through easily.
Multiform CSF® is a tailor-made solution combining desiccants and oxygen absorbers in a single structure. This Multiform Compressed Solid Form (CSF®) is a compressed sorbet which saves space and time. It can be the answer to all the conventional sorbent you could need so your product stays stable. Plus, if you have a space constraint, this one can just be adapted to the adequate support and size you want – just like its name suggested it. In addition, even if the size could change, Multiform CSF® can adsorb twice as much as a conventional sorbent for similar size.
This integrated technology offers maximum protection against multiple degradation agents (humidity, oxygen, etc.), which is crucial for complex or sensitive drugs.

Prevent gummy vitamins from clumping with Multisorb solutions
The gummy vitamin segment is one of the fastest growing in the Nutraceutical industry. Gummy vitamins are a tasty, and easy way to get your daily dose of nutrients. One of the most common complaints about gummy vitamins is that they stick to each other and mould to the bottle, making it hard for consumers to extract them. Stickiness and clumping are caused by changes in the environment within the vitamin bottle. Over time, moisture and oxygen seep through plastic and build up.
As the world leader in active packaging technology, Multisorb produces packaging inserts that absorb the excess moisture and oxygen that naturally enters bottles, preventing products from developing undesirable textures.
Multisorb's sorbents can be placed in bottles of gummy vitamins to prevent the product from sticking together and clumping. Their R&D team has developed a test protocol to help customers identify the right sorbent to pair with their unique combination of gummy vitamin formulation and packaging. In addition to preventing your gummy vitamins from sticking together, a sorbent could enable you to:
✅ Reduce over fortification costs by prolonging the shelf life of API's ✅ Extend the shelf life of inventory by preventing mould growth
Case study
Multisorb tested a wide variety of gummy vitamins to study the effects of water activity on gummy surface texture. During their study, they identified a range of significant issues with the packaging environments of gummy vitamins. From sticking and clumping to mould growth, all problems identified greatly impact the safety and brand image of the product.
The addition of a desiccant/humectant within the gummy vitamin’s container equilibrated the water activity of the gummies. Low moisture content values suggest that introducing a sorbent mitigates any effects caused by moisture fluctuations. The easiest solution is the use of a sorbent. Introducing a sorbent reduces and may eliminate the ability for mould growth, clumping, and sticking. In addition, this will improve compression and tensile strength, therefore, leading to less stickiness within the container. The introduction of a sorbent may also reduce the need for added preservatives to the nutraceutical product.
In a world where quality, stability and longevity are essential, Multisorb desiccants play a vital role, orchestrating the durability of pharmaceutical products from behind the scenes. It is the answer to manufacturer's needs to meet production and cost efficiencies the product and packaging. The ability to design tailor-made solutions is second to none. The in-depth expertise and the scientific approach make it the perfect match for your materials and complies with pharmaceutical, FDA and EMA regulations.
