In vitro subcutaneous injection simulator

Optimize drug formulation screening and selection with an innovative solution that simulates subcutaneous injection environments, reducing reliance on animal models and expediting development with bio-relevant insights.

Simulates Subcutaneous Injections for Formulation Testing

The SCISSOR N3 from Pion is an in vitro subcutaneous injection simulator designed for biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical R&D. This tool accurately mimics the physiological conditions experienced by injectables, allowing you to assess drug release dynamics and optimize formulations without relying on animal models. Ideal for screening excipients and rank ordering formulations, it yields bio-relevant insights for injectable drugs, including adalimumab and insulin formulations. Compatible with optional fraction collectors and the Rainbow R6 UV-vis spectrometer, the SCISSOR N3 enables real-time, in situ data collection. It supports liquid formulations in controlled, bench-top environments, providing critical data for long-acting injectables and innovative drug delivery solutions.

Benefits
