Diagnostic / Culture Media

We develop and manufacture several refined bile products that are used as selective inhibitory agents in bacteriological media.

Bile Salts No. 3

NZP

Bile Salts No. 3 is a water-soluble mixture of the two salts, sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate, which was developed specifically for microbiological applications and is manufactured in large quantities at ICE Pharma. ...

Lithocholic acid

ICE

Lithocholic acid (LCA) is a secondary human bile acid, produced in the gut by microbial action on chenodeoxycholic acid. High purity LCA is produced by ICE Pharma through a semi-synthetic process. ...

N-Acetyl-D-Mannosamine

NZP

N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine, manufactured according to cGMP at our NZP site is a rare monosaccharide involved in a range of metabolic processes. It is often used as a precursor in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of the neuraminic acids found in glycolipids and glycoproteins. In biological systems it ...

Ox Bile Powder

NZP BBA

Ox bile powder is made from pH adjusted (to neutral), filtered and spray dried bovine bile. As it has not undergone a hydrolysis process, the bile acids predominantly remain in their natural conjugated form, hence ox bile powder is freely water soluble. ...

Sodium Cholate

ICE NZP

Sodium cholate is a water soluble sodium salt of cholic acid, the most prevalent bile acid in human bile. ICE Pharma manufactures high purity GMP compliant sodium cholate from bovine bile through a robust extraction/purification process. ...

Sodium Deoxycholate

ICE NZP

Sodium deoxycholate is the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, and is water-soluble. ICE Pharma manufactures high purity GMP compliant sodium deoxycholate from bovine bile through a robust extraction/purification process. ...

Sodium glycocholate

ICE

Sodium glycocholate is the sodium salt of glycocholic acid. ...

Sodium taurocholate

ICE NZP

Sodium taurocholate (NaTC) is the taurine conjugate of cholic acid. This water soluble bile acid conjugate is manufactured by ICE Pharma from ICE’s own cholic acid extracted from bovine bile. This semi-synthetic NaTC is chemically identical to the natural steroid produced in the liver of many ...

Sodium Taurodeoxycholate

ICE

Sodium taurocholate is the taurine conjugate of deoxycholic acid (DCA). This water soluble bile acid conjugate is manufactured by ICE Pharma from ICE’s own high purity DCA and is chemically identical to the natural form. ...

Special Bile

NZP

NZP Special Bile is a water-soluble refined bile product containing a natural mixture of bovine conjugated bile acids and is used as a selective inhibitory agent in microbiological media. It differs from Ox Bile Powder in several ways, thus is preferred for media such as MacConkey broth and agar, Br...

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid

ICE

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a naturally occurring hydrophilic bile acid, is the taurine conjugate of ursodeoxycholic acid. ICE Pharma manufactures this active pharmaceutical ingredient under GMP conditions from our high purity ursodeoxycholic acid.  Our robust process yields multi-tonne quan...
