  • The Americas
Closed

Overview

When developing a drug intended for prefilled applications, the intended user requirements, manufacturing of goods and fill finish requirements must be taken into account to determine the component design and material selection during development. This training course will focus on providing a detailed understanding of the newest packaging technologies that support evolving drug and patient needs, considerations that must be taken into account, quality expectations to fulfill regulatory requirements, and how new manufacturing technologies are being applied.

The training course will follow a practical approach to assist the audience in understanding influences of all involved components and processes such as glass, polymer, elastomer, bulk, nested, silicon, filling and closing. The trainers will give a detailed insight of the complex interaction between components, containers and processes, and will follow with discussions on avoiding issues in development and overcoming hurdles faster.
