  • How to choose the right vial Part II - spot on fill-and-finish, lyophilization and freezing: selection criteria & solutions to improve efficiency

    When it comes to drug containment, not only the stability of the drug plays a crucial role, but also the stability of the container itself - an optimized geometry can help to avoid breakage, during fill-and-finish as well as during storage. Resulting in safeguarding the patient and improving efficiency.

    In addition, high rejections rates due to cosmetic defects or due to fogging during lyophilization also result in elevated costs - even more crucial if high value drugs are affected.

    This Pharmaversity session will demonstrate how the choice of the vial can contribute to improve fill-and-finish efficiency and which parameters need to be considered.

  • Core Vials – how statistical process control elevates your fill-and-finish efficiency

    Good-quality pharmaceutical containers are not only a prerequisite for the safe storage and delivery of drug products, but they also have a positive impact on fill-and-finish processes. The more uniform a container is, the smoother it runs on the fill-and-finish line, resulting in lower container-related rejection rates. In this Pharmaversity session you will get insights on how you can unlock fill-and-finish Excellence with Core Vials.

  • Speed, Stability, Efficiency: How the next generation of prefilled polymer syringes redefines healthcare

    Prefilled polymer syringes have significantly enhanced the safety and effectiveness of infusion therapy in hospitals, moving away from traditional vial-and-syringe systems. Despite these advancements, hospitals still encounter various challenges, such as high drug waste due to unclear packaging, manual tray preparation, and storage issues. Additionally, pharmaceutical manufacturers face stringent regulatory requirements that can delay the development of combination products.

    Join our webinar to explore an innovative solution that addresses these challenges, improving operational efficiency, ensuring long shelf-life efficacy, and accelerating time to market.

  • How to secure robust drug delivery: Performance requirements for RTU cartridges

    The integrity of pharmaceutical packaging is vital, especially for biologics, where drug-container interactions can significantly impact stability and efficacy. In the upcoming webinar we will explore key considerations in selecting and optimizing ready-to-use (RTU) cartridges for complex drug formulations. Topics include material compatibility, leachable profiles, and strategies to mitigate risks such as delamination. We will also discuss drug-container interactions and their implications for long-term storage. Additionally, critical performance parameters like break-loose gliding force (BLGF) and functional stability will be covered to ensure seamless drug administration.

    Join the webinar to gain valuable insights into optimizing packaging solutions for the next generation of drug delivery systems with RTU cartridges.

  • Advancing insights into large volume subcutaneous autoinjections

    Despite advancements in subcutaneous (SC) autoinjection, comprehensive insights are still limited. SC delivery of biologics faces challenges such as drug volume, viscosity, and user injection time. While adjunct molecules have improved absorption for larger doses, significant gaps remain in SC drug development.

    Join this joint webinar by SHL Medical and SCHOTT Pharma, where we will present findings from a literature review, feasibility testing of 60-second injections, and characterization of 5.0 mL cartridges. These studies are designed to deepen understanding and drive progress in large-volume autoinjection delivery.

  • How to choose the right vial for next-generation therapies

    Primary packaging is a crucial component of drug formulation. Even the most advanced medication can lose its efficacy if stored in a container that fails to maintain its stability over time.

    With the growing prevalence of biologics, the range of molecules and applications continues to expand, leading to increasingly diverse requirements for primary packaging. For example, more than 50% of biologics require lyophilization, which can introduce challenges such as "fogging." Additionally, some molecules are highly sensitive to glass leachables, particularly with low-fill volumes, while others may adsorb to the container's surface, affecting dosage accuracy or necessitating overfilling.

    At SCHOTT Pharma, we offer the most extensive range of vial solutions designed to address these specific challenges. Join our upcoming webinar to explore our advanced vial solutions, tailored to meet the demands of next-generation drugs.
