Fill-and-finish services Support for the processing of containment solutions from small to commercial scale
CONTACT USEnabling early-stage sample filling and efficient commercial fill-and-finish
For customers without the capability for sample filling, SCHOTT Pharma can fill syringes, cartridges and vials for early-stage testing. Sample preparation and storage capabilities allow engineers to test and examine the interdependencies between fill-and-finish processes and accelerated aging of drug-container interaction under controlled laboratory conditions.
One key aspect for the long-term success of SCHOTT Pharma customers is the compatibility of our containment solutions with efficient commercial processing, which is why we consider process compatibility a key priority in solution design. SCHOTT Pharma offers a number of services to assure compatibility and optimize line efficiency, including:
- Compatibility assessment for a systematic review of compatibility between secondary packaging, containment solution, and line equipment.
- Toolbox and consultancy for a systematic review of the origins of glass breakage and cosmetic defects, plus line maintenance.
Drug filling and storage
SCHOTT Pharma provides laboratory-scale fill-and-finish processes for small batches of up to a few thousands of pieces. We can also simulate critical process parameters and storage conditions.
Filling line compatibility verification
SCHOTT Pharma provides proactive exchanges and assessments with leading manufacturers to ensure general compatibility. We also offer compatibility assessments and testing for your specific line.
Filling line efficiency optimization - identifying potentially critical spots
The application of Smart Skin sensor drones enables the detection of critical spots of high mechanical pressure or vibration along your line, as well as reveals changes of the line state.
Filling line efficiency optimization - assessing critical impact
SCHOTT Pharma provides glass analytics for the assessment of line modules with respect to container strength reduction and the origins of damage or breakage.
OEE optimization consultancy for fill-and-finish
Achieve maximum reliability for your line output by working with SCHOTT Pharma’s experts, combining the strength of sensor drone measurements from Smart Skin Technologies with our unique expertise in glass analytics.
