West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.

The Daikyo® Crystal Zenith® (CZ) 2.25mL insert needle is a break-resistant, polymer syringe of choice to protect larger volume sensitive molecules during self-administration. For drug developers wishing to avoid glass, this syringe system protects delicate molecules as there is no silicone oil added for fu...

Through a strategic partnership with Corning, one of the world’s leaders in glass science, West is redefining the future of containment solutions by creating a truly integrated system that will help de-risk customers’ drug development and manufacturing processes by providing comprehensive product informati...

The SmartDose platform offers a wearable, subcutaneous injector with an integrated drug delivery system that incorporates human factors and usability testing to deliver a truly patient-centric approach to self-administration.

NovaPure® components have quality built in from the start. West has developed a comprehensive quality target product profile (QTPP) based on the needs of our customers and end users.

With glass-like transparency, but superior break resistance and low risk of chemical interactions, Daikyo Crystal Zenith® vials can help avoid issues including delamination, and particulates.

West and Corning Launch Viridian™ Vials that provide both performance and sustainability to the healthcare industry

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.

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
