ClearVial™

Vials made of COC or COP is a transparent alternative to a glass vial.

With our 100 % transparent ClearVials, we introduce a pharmaceutical plastic packaging, which alone by its size, lightweight and impact strength represents a ground-breaking packaging solution for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry.

Our transparent ClearVials are manufactured from COC plastic (Cyclic Olefin Copolymer) and COP plastic (Cyclic Olefin Polymer).
It is a completely transparent material that allows you to inspect the vial fluid for particles during the production process and before use.

COC and COP vials can be delivered Ready-to-Use

Both our COC and COP plastic vials can be delivered sterile and Ready-to-Use. The vials are therefore suitable for aseptic filling.
It is neither necessary to wash or dry the vials before filling, making ClearVial a very profitable choice as it is not necessary to implement a washing and drying plant in your production line.

Depending on your current production line, you reduce both your consumption of water and electricity while reducing your production time.
And because our ClearVials follow  ISO standards, they are identical to a glass vial. It is therefore easy to implement COC or COP vials in your existing production line without major investments.

Transparent vials replace glass and increase your flexibility

Compared to glass, COC and COP favours the environment both with regards to transport, filling and disposal. A Drug Master File (DMF) is available for both materials and meet all regulations cf. European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and US Pharmacopoeia (USP).

However, when choosing a pharmaceutical plastic packaging - a ClearVial - you are not bound to standard sizes. In cases where our standard sizes and designs do not meet your unique needs, we would like to collaborate on a customised solution with a high flexibility both in terms of order sizes, special packing requirements and delivery.

 All ClearVial vials are packed in our clean room ISO Class 7 / EU-GMP Class C. The clean room is constructed according to EU Directive 91/356 EEC and 91/412 EEC inclusive of guidelines.

The air of the clean room is automatically controlled and the monitoring and alarm system functions 24 hours a day, enabling immediate intervention if disruptions arise.

Bacteriological control and control of particles is performed regularly by an external company to ensure that the system works.

ClearVial can be used to contain e.g.:

• Dimethyl Sulfoxide Dextran
• RNA-based Cytotoxin
• Eye drops
• Antibiotics
• Bisphosphonate / Osteoporosis
• Dexmedetomidine Anaesthesia
• Nuclear isotopes
• Palonosetron Hydrochloride
• Zoledronic acid
• Caffeine citrate
• Lidocaine
• Oxybutynin
• Protein-based products
