Pharmaceutical elastomers are commonly applied in the form of stoppers, plungers, and O-rings for parenteral drug-delivery applications. Here, good sealing is an apparent property for effective drug containment; however, there are several other critical attributes that govern the selection of an appropriate elastomeric component for safe and efficacious drug-delivery.

In this two-day training course, you will gain insight into the fundamentals of pharmaceutical elastomers with practical considerations. Industry experts will describe component selection strategies, review manufacturing technologies, component processing and sterilization techniques. There will be a focus to understand the origin of defects and analytical tools applied for their characterization.

In addition, you will participate in a plant tour of Datwyler’s FirstLine® manufacturing facility in Middletown, Delaware!

Upon completion of this training course, the attendee will be able to:

  1. Select an appropriate packaging container for drug delivery with a focus on elastomers, lined aluminum seals and aluminum seals
  2. Explain the science and manufacturing principles behind elastomers for pharmaceutical packaging
  3. Evaluate the critical processing parameters that determines if RFS or RTU
  4. Discuss the regulations that govern elastomeric closures and aluminum seals
  5. Describe best practices in primary packaging selection and optimization through case studies
