Düsseldorf/Rome, February 26, 2018. The Gx Elite vials set new standards for type I vials made from borosilicate glass. Most importantly, the vials prevent any glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal contact from when the tubular glass is made right through to final packaging. The chemical composition of the borosilicate glass is still the same. Gerresheimer will be showcasing its Gx Elite vials at booth 36 at the PDA in Rome on February 27 and 28.
“It is absolutely crucial for drugs to be packaged properly in order to ensure drug stability. The exceptional quality of our Gx Elite vials makes them the ideal container for parenteral drugs,” says Jens Heymann, Senior Vice President Europe & Asia Tubular Glass at Gerresheimer, underlining the major benefit that avoiding glass-to-glass contact in the production process can have for vial quality. The highly shatter-resistant vials are extremely durable and free of cosmetic defects. They also boast an incredibly robust structure, while their resistance to delamination protects the drug inside. Simple handling and a range of packaging options ensure that Gx Elite vials can be supplied for end-to-end use on various filling lines. For customers, this means lower costs and higher quality.
