Effective alternatives for ammonium sulfate treated pharmaceutical glass vials
Download the whitepaper to explore effective alternatives to ammonium sulfate-treated pharmaceutical glass vials.
Initially, ammonium sulfate treatment was used to enhance the surface hydrolytic resistance of Type III soda-lime-silica glass, reclassifying these vials as Type II glass. However, this treatment has also been applied to Type I glass containers to mitigate drug-container interactions. While this method addresses the immediate issue, it introduces other concerns. Ammonium sulfate treatments increase the risk of glass delamination and significantly impair vial inspection.
