WHITE PAPER: Discussion Of Vial Closures And Stoppering Force In Pilot Freeze Dryers
By Leslie Mather, SP Scientific
On occasion, we are challenged with regard to equipment being able to properly seal a customer's selection of container closure system which is typically a glass vial and rubber stopper that is pressed down into the vial during a stoppering step at the end of freeze drying. This became a more frequent problem as dosages and containers decreased in size because this configuration typically requires more force per square inch to create proper stopper seating in the vial.

ARTICLE: TAP For CRT — Challenges Due To Product Temperature Criteria
By Ken Maltas and Iftekar Ahmed, ThermoSafe, Sonoco Protective Solutions
There has been significant discussion over the past few years around TAP (temperature-assured packaging) for CRT (controlled-room temperature). Manufacturers and regulators have not yet decided how they want to handle this type of product, although some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, have already mandated that CRT products be shipped in proper TAP. As with refrigerated products, the regulations vary from strict label claim to acceptance of excursions with stability data. A couple of major questions have to be asked before the individual manufacturer or the industry can decide how to design the TAP.
