Coated glass vial for lyophilized injectable drugs

Lyophilization is an essential process in the biopharmaceutical industry, accelerating a drug’s time-to-market cycle and increasing shelf-life stability. But during lyophilization fogging can occur, which leads to problems in the crucial final inspection of the filled vial as well as the acceptance by the end user. 

SCHOTT TopLyo® vials feature a chemically uniform hydrophobic inner coating, which results in a decrease in fogging during the lyophilization process, as well as less disruption of the lyo cake. This improves the efficiency of automated inspection, leading to greater patient safety. 

In addition, SCHOTT TopLyo® vials offer reduced residual drug volumes and therefore a higher dosing accuracy after reconstitution. Over-filling of the vial can be avoided.

Please note that SCHOTT TopLyo® vials are not meant for long-term liquid storage.

Properties

  • Lower residual volume leads to cost reduction due to decreased overfilling.
  • Elimination of lyo cake disruption and sidewall fogging for improved automated inspection.
  • Lyo vial cake remains stable during transportation.
  • Reduced risks of protein aggregation compared to siliconized vials.
  • Product manufactured according to relevant international norms and standards.
  • Product registered at Regulatory Authorities as e.g. US FDA and China NMPA (and available for Pharmaceutical Registration Applications).
Chemical Resistance
  • The stability of this layer  during storage has been proven with different fillings by accelerated aging at 40 °C as well as room temperature after three years. Still, please note that SCHOTT TopLyo® vials are not meant for long-term liquid storage.
  • For production control, the standard Hydrolytic Resistance test is a release criteria, involving 0.5h autoclaving at 121 °C with H2O. 
  • In addition, a statistical drain-off test is performed to check the specified hydrophobicity of SCHOTT TopLyo® vials.
Dimensions & Cosmetics
  • Tight geometric tolerances thanks to 100% camera inspection of dimensional and cosmetic parameters along the process line.
  • Strict AQLs, as dimensions and cosmetic defects are a key part of the product specification. Any containers with critical defects are classified as "not allowed in the lot".
Possible Applications
Improved lyocake
Reduced climbing of the formulation at the inner wall edges results in less disruption of the lyo cake and therefore less production losses.

Dosage accuracy
Reduced residual volume after reconstitution avoids over-filling and increases dosage accuracy. 

Optimized yield
Avoidance of fogging results in lower cosmetic rejects and higher acceptance by final user.
Advantages
  • No fogging during lyophilization results in decreased rejects.
  • Reduced residual drug volumes and therefore higher dosing accuracy after reconstitution.
