A Division of Jubilant Pharma
Allergens are present in every environment, so choosing the right allergenic extract partner isn’t just important; it’s vital for the health of your patients, and the health of your practice.
That means finding a partner just as committed as you are. We are that ideal partner, because we’re not afraid of the tough questions. So ask us, and then ask anyone else these same questions.
HollisterStier has been an innovator since our founding in 1921. In fact, both our histamine and AP Dog products are listed in the Allergy practice parameters.4,5 Now approaching our 100th year, we have produced many breakthroughs.
ACETONE PRECIPITATED (AP) EXTRACTION
Our exclusive process, often using as much as 50 times the source material, creates highly potent extract.
PHENOL FREE
We do not use phenol in any of our glycerin extracts, which helps prevent denaturing of the proteins. This, in turn, helps preserve potency.3
SUBCUTANEOUS IMMUNOTHERAPY, WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Our focus has always been on subcutaneous immunotherapy and bulk extracts. We create products specifically for allergists and allergy specialists.
As a result, we are able to offer many high-quality products, such as:
The highest concentration of dog hair extract available based on major allergen content. Studies indicate it’s more effective for diagnosis and treatment.1,2
We introduced mite extracts in 1988, and culture our source material to produce mite products—including a highly concentrated bulk extract.
Our venom products pass a minimum of 15 quality control checks. We are the only supplier of venom in the U.S.
The only ten-test, self-loading, surgical steel skin test device on the market.
HollisterStier’s facility is rigorously inspected by CBER, CDER and multiple foreign agencies, exhibiting strong GMP standards.
We strive to meet multiple agency guidelines as part of our commitment to high-quality allergenic extracts for you and your patients. This requires careful control and exacting processes.
Our focus, subcutaneous immunotherapy, has been shown in studies to be effective for treatment of allergies. We continue to innovate our manufacturing methods. We’ve invested in equipment, technology and facilities. And we’ve responded to your needs and wants by creating a product portfolio that focuses on the antigens most important to you.
Finally, we are patient-focused in what we produce. We offer educational materials to help answer the questions your patients ask. For instance, we created and funded the BeeAware Program to inform the public about VIT, demonstrating our commitment to both patients and allergists.
