First large-volume glass syringes for subcutaneous injections

syriQ BioPure® 5.5 ml glass syringe for large-volume biologics

As biologic therapies advance toward higher volumes and more complex formulations, the demand for delivery systems that support patient-friendly self-administration continues to grow. Larger subcutaneous injections are becoming increasingly prominent, driven by innovations in formulation science and the need to simplify drug administration across new therapeutic areas.

Successfully developing large-volume drug delivery systems requires balancing pharmaceutical requirements, user needs, processability, and business goals. Thinking in systems and understanding the critical interfaces of glass prefilled syringes are essential to ensure safe, stable, and reliable delivery, especially for high-viscosity biologics.

Are you ready for large-volume biologics in ready-to-use glass syringes?

SCHOTT Pharma’s syriQ BioPure® 5.5 ml large-volume staked-needle glass syringe addresses the growing demand for subcutaneous delivery of large-volume biologics in a single dose, reducing the need for multiple injections while improving patient comfort. Engineered with ultra-low tungsten and glue residuals, tight dimensional tolerances, and a homogeneous silicone layer, the glass syringe ensures long-term drug stability and minimizes interaction risks, even for highly sensitive and viscous formulations.
Made using high-quality Type I FIOLAX® CHR Borosilicate Glass, the syringe offers a low extractables and leachables profile and incorporates state-of-the-art components, such as Aptar’s Rigid Needle Shield 4900GS. As part of the SCHOTT iQ® platform, it is compatible with standard secondary packaging and fill-and-finish processes, supporting seamless integration into pharmaceutical workflows.

This innovation reflects a platform-based approach that enables scalable homecare solutions and helps pharma partners accelerate market entry while maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance.

Seamless integration of syriQ BioPure® 5.5 ml for reliable subcutaneous delivery

The new large-volume staked-needle glass syringe is available in 5.5 ml format for autoinjector use, and has been co-developed with the large-volume autoinjector YpsoMate® 5.5 from Ypsomed.

    Compatible with YpsoMate® 5.5

    The syriQ BioPure® 5.5 ml glass syringe has been co-developed with the Ypsomed YpsoMate® 5.5 autoinjector to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. This collaboration incorporates device-specific requirements directly into the glass syringe design, including precise interface specifications and critical dimensional alignment.

    Human factors and form factor considerations were central to the development process, supporting ease of use, patient comfort, and reliable functionality. The result is a robust combination product that meets the high standards of biologic delivery while enabling efficient processability across pharmaceutical workflows.
