Adjuvants
To this day, one of Croda’s core competencies is to develop, manufacture and market high-quality adjuvants and be a dedicated and reliable partner for our customers. This unique historical focus has formed a strong market position and brands such as Alhydrogel®, Adju-Phos® and Quil-A® are widely recognised in the vaccine industry.
Vaccine adjuvants are a highly heterogenous collection of compounds that share one functional characteristic: the ability to enhance immune responses.

Adjuvants are used in vaccine production to accelerate, prolong, or enhance antigen-specific immune responses. They help to raise an early, long-lasting and efficient immune response to the vaccine. This increases vaccine efficacy and provides a high degree of protection from the disease against which you are vaccinating.
