SGD Pharma’s 20ml EasyLyo molded glass Type I vials are now available Ready-to-Use (RTU) in SG EZ-fill® Nest & Tub – an industry-recognized state-of-the-art secondary packaging format.
Increased demand for parenteral drugs generated by the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in additional pressures being placed on biopharmaceutical companies to accelerate their time-to-market. This new RTU primary and secondary packaging combination from SGD Pharma offers biopharmaceutical producers the flexibility they need to deliver innovative medicines to patients significantly faster.
SGD Pharma was the first molded glass manufacturer to offer RTU vials at an industrial scale for injectable drugs in 2019, and its partnership with Stevanato Group has enabled the company to be the first to market with 20ml EasyLyo molded glass Type I vials in EZ-fill® Nest & Tub. RTU Type I molded glass vials are delivered pre-sterilized in Nest & Tubs ready for automated fill and finish, skipping up-front washing and depyrogenation steps in an aseptic environment and allowing pharma companies to focus on core business activities to expedite product launches.
Nest & Tub is a secondary packaging solution required for combi-lines used for fill and finish. It is largely adopted by contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to process various primary packaging containers, including vials, syringes, and cartridges for optimal manufacturing flexibility. The Nest & Tub solution avoids glass-to-glass contact, protecting the sterility and the integrity of each vial. With the introduction of SGD Pharma’s RTU molded glass packaging solution in EZ-fill® Nest & Tub, drug manufacturers can accelerate their time-to-market for small to medium batches with minimal filling line changes.
With the same external dimension as 20R tubular vials, adopting 20ml EasyLyo molded glass Type I vials will only require minor changes on the filling line and allow the same freeze-drier shelf configuration.
The new 20ml EasyLyo molded Type I glass vials in Nest & Tub are in stock and available in both flint and amber glass. The Letter of Authorization (LOA) to the Drug Master Files (DMF) for our Ready-To-Use molded glass vials, pre-sterilized in the EZ-fill® platform of SG Ompi, will be available from early July.
