Design of a New Elastomer Formulation for Lyophilization Applications

4040/40 elastomer formulation was designed with ‘future in mind’ to meet the ever-increasing performance & quality standards expected of primary drug packaging. The presentation will summarize the extensive Quality by Design (QbD) process that was undertaken to develop this new formulation as well as considerations taken for closure design dedicated for Lyophilization applications. Details of the extensive characterization that was performed as part of product development as well as data to demonstrates the overall performance of the new rubber formulation for lyophilization stoppers with respect to Extractables/Leachables, Particulates, Moisture, Container Closure Integrity (CCI), Particles and Manufacturability will be presented.

  • Webinar How Market Trends Drive Innovation and Enable the Pharmaceutical Pipeline

    Our healthcare industry is evolving. The move from IV to SC injection is being driven by lifecycle management, biosimilar adoption, and the hospital to home trend. Molecules are getting more complex, and patients drive the preference for self-administration resulting in the need for more complex combination product development and quick scale up. We will present innovative solutions to these challenges to help speed up drug development and enable patient choice with: A 2.25mL polymer container system for auto-injectors which protects sensitive molecules A large volume cartridge plunger to enable primary containment within an on-body delivery system A small pack, high quality glass containment system to enable quick delivery in early-stage development
