Picking a material for parenteral containers is tricky. When it comes to prefilled syringes (PFS), one recurring question is: Which material is better – glass or polymer?
Glass dominates the market, but the use of polymer syringes is expected to grow in the next few years. Glass’s excellent barrier properties and regulatory ease make it the first choice for drug manufacturers, but polymer’s break resistance and inert properties, as well as its wide design options, make it an attractive choice as well.
As each material has its strengths and weaknesses, drug makers must take a holistic view when deciding on a prefilled syringe for a particular application.
In this webinar you will get to know guidelines that help you find out what works best for you.
