Pharmaceutics International, Inc. (Pii), a CDMO, will include Daikyo Crystal Zenith (CZ) container-closure components offered by West Pharmaceutical Services, as part of its aseptic fill-finish capabilities across vials, syringes and cartridges.

Pii aims to address the growing demand for high-quality and advanced containment systems, as well as small and medium-sized batches. Pii has enabled its AST GeniSYS R sterile fill-finish system to handle West’s CZ platform to provide customers with more options, greater flexibility, and strategies to de-risk their product development. Pii’s development and manufacturing of high-value, complex molecules will be greatly improved with the addition of CZ polymer containers that offer high-quality standards, design customizations, flexibility, and physical and chemical benefits.

“Integrating CZ polymer containers and delivery devices with the agile capabilities of the AST GeniSYS R offers a vertically integrated set of solutions that are key to Pii’s ability to streamline our pharmaceutical development services and deliver quality results faster,” said Devan Patel, Senior Director, Project Management at Pii.

West Pharmaceutical's Daikyo Crystal Zenith container-closure components are made of a cyclic olefin polymer. Daikyo Crystal Zenith containers come pre-sterilized using bulk nested trays as a syringe nesting system. This minimizes the risk of contamination and shortens project lead time.
