Vials

Filled vials are among the most common ways of delivering injectables and other medical products. Injection vials are sealed with a stopper and a cap, to maintain product sterility.

Depending on the product to be filled and its purpose, various materials can be used to make the vial, the stopper and the cap. The life science and healthcare industry mostly uses glass injection vials sealed with rubber stoppers and aluminum caps.

During product development, each product is subject to a study where we select a suitable combination of vials and stoppers in different materials. In some cases, the vial and stopper materials are changed between the different steps in a clinical study, or ahead of commercial manufacture.

We buy all our packaging materials from approved suppliers. If the packaging material best suited to your product is not part of our standard range, we can procure and test it for manufacture in our sterile GMP facility.

We can fill a product in injection vials of various sizes, under either sterile or aseptic conditions. Temperature-sensitive products are always filled aseptically.
