Visit from VAT Vakuumventile AG and the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland

We recently welcomed Tobias Wassmer from VAT Vakuumventile AG and Ivo Lenherr from the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland to our premises. After a brief round of introductions, they were given a tour of our premises and the large-scale research facilities at PSI. The product samples they brought with them helped us to better understand the challenges and requirements of VAT Vakuumventile AG. These will now be measured in an initial feasibility study using Synchrotron CT and Synchrotron Diffraction. We look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Publication: Investigating Zinc Migration from Rigid Needle Shield to Drug Formulation in Needle Tip of Pre‑filled Syringe

ANAXAM Technology Centre in collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc., investigated the mechanisms of needle clogging in pre-filled syringes, focusing on zinc (Zn) ions, which have been reported to promote protein gelation and increase formulation viscosity.
