Elarex Inc. is helping vaccine manufacturers escape the cold chain which can help them by reducing spoilage; improving the stability of new vaccine candidates; and by making LMIC markets more accessible when cold chain infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.

The solution is a very straightforward, patented mixture of natural products that are considered safe by the US FDA and do not require freeze drying.  Many types of vaccines, small molecules, enzymes, biologics, DNA and mRNA-LNPs have all been shown to benefit from the stabilization offered by our technology.

Elarex Inc. is a privately held company, incorporated in Ontario, Canada.
