Before PolySource
OEM searching for a material for precision disposable cartridges that provides purity, drug compatibility, biocompatibility, and dimensional stability. The material must deliver consistent, reproducible performance and facilitates miniaturization of drug delivery systems.
However…
- Traditional engineering plastics, or even glass, do not offer a non-ionic, minimally reactive surface.
- Traditional engineering plastics polar substrate promotes adsorption, denaturation, aggregation, or precipitation.
Application Requirements
- Complies with global medical and pharma regulations, USP Class VI, ISO 10993, BPA free and FDA complient.
- A non-ionic, minimally reactive surface
- A non-polar substrate that does not promote adsorption, denaturation, aggregation, or precipitation
- glass-clear optics
- Highly challenging tolerance levels
- Multi-cavity tooling with fully interchangeable inserts among all cavities
PolySource Solution
Features
- TOPAS COC provides purity, drug compatibility, biocompatibility, and dimensional stability.
- TOPAS COC delivers consistent, reproducible performance and facilitates miniaturization of drug delivery systems
- Unlike other engineering thermoplastics or glass, TOPAS COC offers a non-ionic, minimally reactive surface.
Advantages of New Material
- The material delivers consistent, reproducible performance and facilitates miniaturization of drug delivery systems.
- Repeatable performance
Bottom Line
- By starting at the beginning and understanding “ALL” the complex processing needs, property needs and CTQs, including a non-ionic, minimally reactive surface, PolySource determined TOPAS COC to be the best candidate ensuring the customer consistent and reproducible performance.
