Pharmaceutics International, Inc. (Pii) will include Daikyo Crystal Zenith® (CZ) container-closure components, offered by West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (West), as part of its aseptic fill-finish capabilities across vials, syringes and cartridges. Recognizing the growing demand for high-quality and advanced containment systems, as well as small and medium-sized batches, Pii has enabled its AST GeniSYS® R sterile fill-finish system to handle West’s CZ platform to provide customers with more options, greater flexibility, and strategies to de-risk their product development. Pii’s expertise and experience in developing and manufacturing high-value, complex molecules will be greatly improved with the addition of CZ polymer containers that offer high-quality standards, design customizations, and flexibility, along with physical and chemical benefits. Pii’s initial implementation will be filling ready-to-use (RU) syringes and cartridges in its aseptic fill-finish processes. For a typical project, pre-sterilized delivery devices will arrive at facilities in a syringe nesting system using bulk nested trays. This minimizes the risk of contamination and shortens project lead time.
