Overview

cartriQ® for optimal safety in professional and home care settings

High-quality, sterile, and ready-to-use, cartriQ® cartridges are designed for peptide- and protein-based injectable drugs. With their precise and controlled drug delivery, they are ideal for a wide range of hand-held injection devices, enabling drug administration to be transferred from hospital to the home.

Made of highly resistant FIOLAX® clear Type I Borosilicate Glass with controlled hydrolytic resistance, cartriQ® offers tight dimensional tolerances for highly accurate drug administration, best-in-class leachables performance, and minimal container breakage. SCHOTT Pharma’s ready-to-use cartridges are available in TopLine quality and assure superior functionality and dosage accuracy.

As part of the SCHOTT iQ® platform, cartriQ® can be processed on a wide range of fill-and-finish equipment and remains nested throughout the entire process, without any glass-to-glass contact. The cartridges are also steam-sterilized using pure water to reduce environmental impact.

Benefits
