Drug containment and delivery services Realizing new containment solutions for your drug product requirements
CONTACT USDeveloping customized drug containment and delivery solutions
Sometimes, established containment solutions don’t match the specific needs of a new drug product or an intended lifecycle adaption. With SCHOTT Pharma’s drug containment and delivery services, the right drug container is customized for your product’s specific needs – from system design, through prototyping, to process implementation and GMP-compliant documentation.
The scope of drug containment and delivery development includes:
-
Primary packaging containers (e.g. syringes, cartridges, vials, or ampoules)
-
Containment system components (e.g. plungers, closures, closure systems, and integrated needles)
-
Adjacent components (e.g. plunger rods and backstops)
-
Outer packaging for infeed of primary packaging to the filling line and transportation
-
System development as a combination product
-
Device-containment alignment
Feasibility studies
SCHOTT Pharma helps you to evaluate the feasibility of new or customized containment solutions. We translate your requirements into a product concept, review its feasibility, and deliver a proposal for realization.
Prototyping
From the beginning of a new containment solution project, SCHOTT Pharma can manufacture prototypes and samples for early-stage or machinability testing.
Design and development
SCHOTT Pharma will turn a design concept into a reliable drug containment product, with implementation involving component sourcing, defining the production process, and verification testing.
Design History File (DHF) documentation
SCHOTT Pharma records and summarizes the design history throughout the development process, so that the product development path is comprehensible from design concept through to finished product.
A dedicated project manager guides your solution through development
Once the requirements of your containment and delivery solution have been jointly defined, a SCHOTT Pharma Project Manager will follow a stage-gate process to take your solution from concept to industrialization.
In this established process, design reviews combined with internal and joint steering committees or review teams will ensure information is exchanged, requirements are met, and steady progress is made towards joint objectives.
System development - When designing container, elastomeric, or peripheral components we focus on system aspects and interfaces to ensure system functionality.
Proven competence - Our long-term track record of customer projects demonstrates our reliability, technical expertise, and competence in project delivery.
Strong network - We collaborate with leading manufacturers to optimize compatibility for efficient fill-and-finish processing and injection device integration.
Integrated lab - Using next-door lab capabilities, we can optimize and verify the solution to your specific requirements based on short loops and maximized learning.
Drug containment and delivery services: How to proceed
1. Get in touch
Please use the contact form or call us direct for any questions or requests. This helps us to make a first assessment and identify your best contact partner.
2. Clarification of your need
A product expert will discuss further details with you to clarify product requirements, other boundary conditions, or a match to a potential realization concept.
3. Feasibility assessment
A group of experts will review technical feasibility and implementation scenarios to realize a customized containment solution that matches your specific needs.
4. Obtain a proposal
Based on the results of the feasibility assessment, you will receive a proposal including timeline and realization costs for your customized containment solution.
