Primary Packaging Glass - Metal-free glass syringes

PDF 1.1 MB

One problem associated with syringe use is that traces of tungsten or other metals occasionally leave residue behind in the bore when the syringe cone is shaped. Gerresheimer developed a production technology registered for patent where the pin used to shape the cone is made of a special ceramic. So we can offer a metal-free 1 ml Gx RTF® Luer lock glass syringe. The process can be transferred to other Luer lock syringe sizes or to Luer cone syringes of various sizes at any time.
