Screening Strategy for Drug Products and Glass VialsĀ 

USP 1660 outlines crucial guidelines for understanding and detecting glass delamination in primary glass containers, yet its complex nature often leads to challenges in interpretation and application. At Gateway Analytical, we transform the complexities of USP 1660 into actionable insights. Let our expertise guide your journey through glass delamination screening, ensuring the integrity of every product.

The screening strategy for drug products and glass vials is a systematic approach designed to evaluate the compatibility and safety of glass packaging for pharmaceutical use. This strategy involves a series of tests that assess the chemical and physical interactions between the drug formulations and the glass vials. The aim is to identify any potential issues, such as glass delamination or leaching of harmful substances, that could compromise the quality and efficacy of the drug product.
