November 2024 | Mechelen: NIPRO PharmaPackaging is proud to announce its membership of LyoHUB, an industry-led partnership at Purdue University dedicated to advancing the science and technology of lyophilization.
By joining LyoHUB, NIPRO PharmaPackaging aims to collaborate with industry experts to deepen the understanding of lyophilization and address its inherent challenges. This partnership will also explore ways to optimize current glass vials to enhance the lyophilization process.
As a leading manufacturer of high-quality glass vials for the pharmaceutical industry, NIPRO brings extensive expertise in vial development and manufacturing. NIPRO’s vials, treated with the proprietary VIALEX™ technology, offer significant advantages, including reduced extractables and leachables (E&L), lower pH shift, and minimized risk of delamination compared to standard vials. Additionally, VIALEX™ treated vials contribute to an optimized lyophilization process by reducing fogging.
“We are excited to partner with LyoHUB experts to explore further improvements in our vials, providing better solutions for our customers,” said Arno Fries, Ph.D., Global Director Product Management and Product Development NPI at NIPRO PharmaPackaging.
