Accelerating drug submission: SCHOTT Pharma offers complete testing suite for container selection and drug submission preparation

A typical drug development journey spans multiple years with the clinical phase being essential in testing, developing, and processing a product before submitting it to the authorities for approval. In this stage, drug manufacturers need access to specific technology, personnel resources, and expertise to complete numerous tests, while navigating the complex regulatory landscape from the FDA. In many cases, drug developers outsource the process to different external suppliers to complete each test, and have to coordinate several entities while under time pressure.

Now, with SCHOTT Pharma’s PartnerLab, drug developers benefit from a one-stop solution fulfilling all testing demands ranging from functional testing, and CCIT, to delamination studies, and particle analysis, among other capabilities. In order to meet various market requirements, the lab is able to test all materials – from glass to rubber components and polymer.  The complete package with robust documentation and guidance thereby helps to relieve complexity, accelerate submissions, and offer assurance that the testing process was completed accurately and reliably.

“With our scientific expertise, we want to help start-ups and small pharmaceutical companies, for example, who often develop products with great potential but struggle to overcome the hurdle of the complex submission process,” says Dr. Arne Kloke, Head of Services and Sustainability at SCHOTT Pharma. “Besides that, all pharmaceutical companies, including Big Pharma, benefit from our complete testing suite combined with the expertise to identify and solve root cause challenges.”
