Purity. Sustained.

DAISOGEL is a leading bulk silica gel used in the chromatographic analysis and purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients and other high-value substances. It falls within the Pharmaceutical Purification Materials division of the Health Care business segment of our parent company OSAKA SODA CO., LTD.

History

1915

A pioneer of industrial scale caustic soda manufacturing by electrolysis, Osaka Soda Co., Ltd. was founded in 1915. Through our unique electrolysis technology, we have expanded the possibilities of chemistry to develop products supporting a variety of industries.

1960s

By the 1960’s our know-how in chemical production and organic synthesis led us to expand into specialty chemicals through our growing portfolio of unique chemical technologies.

1990s

In the 1990’s Osaka Soda entered the healthcare business by applying our ever-growing chemical knowledgebase to the production of bulk silica gel; at the same time, demand was growing for large-scale chromatographic purification of pharmaceuticals using columns packed with porous bulk silica gel.

2010s+

In the 2010’s and 2020’s, we have expanded our bulk silica gel product line up one of the most diverse portfolios of various pore sizes, particle sizes, and bonded phases available, with over 300 products on the market globally.

Manufacturing

Since 1992, DAISOGEL has been proudly made in Japan under the direction of our dedicated manufacturing team at our Amagaski factory outside of Osaka, Japan.

One year later, in 1993, we added the Matsuyama plant and a chemical bonding facility, permitting us to offer derivatized silica gels such as reverse phase products for hydrophobic interactions, while also derisking our manufacturing operations with the addition of a second plant.

Employing the sol-gel manufacturing method, our bare silica is produced at high purity with consistent results, batch after batch. Our large manufacturing capacity across two sites can meet even the most significant volume requests for bulk silica gel, ensuring that DAISOGEL is available to customers around the world with short timelines.

Quality Control

DAISOGEL products are manufactured under ISO 9001 controlled conditions using our leading-edge sol-gel method with GMP compliance based on ICH-Q7A.

Our superior manufacturing standards guarantee DAISOGEL is produced with the highest quality and purity to meet and exceed expectations of any major pharmaceutical company audit worldwide.

We have FDA Drug Master File registration for the following top-selling DAISOGEL phases:

File# 23227 for DAISOGEL ODS series
File# 22317 for DAISOGEL C8 series
File# 29201 for DAISOGEL C4 series

Regulatory Support Files are also available upon request.
