Enabling you to design vaccines without reliance on animal sources with our fermentation-produced squalene.

As consumers and industries increasingly prioritize responsibly sourced solutions, the demand for alternatives to traditional animal-derived ingredients is rising. One such ingredient, squalene, is well-known for its role as a component in vaccine adjuvants, where it enhances immune response. Traditionally, squalene has been sourced from shark liver oil, a practice that raises significant concerns, including overfishing and the depletion of shark populations.

Given these concerns, the need for animal-free alternative squalene has become critical. Non-Animal Origin (NAO) Squalene, derived from yeast fermentation, is an Emprove® Expert product designed to replace traditional shark-derived squalene in high-risk pharmaceutical applications.
