WHITE PAPER
Double Sterilization in Pharmaceuticals: The Impact of Annex 1 on Component Strategy
Since the 2022 revision of EU GMP Annex 1 came into effect in August 2023, sterile manufacturing strategy has become one of the most consequential decisions in injectable drug development. What was once a binary choice between aseptic processing and terminal sterilization is shifting toward a hybrid "double sterilization" model — purchasing pre-sterilized, ready-to-use elastomeric components and then applying terminal sterilization again after filling and final assembly.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE
Lyophilization is growing in pharma, but technical challenges persist
In this technical article, Datwyler's Camille Ermine explores how lyophilization is reshaping pharmaceutical packaging decisions for biologics, mRNA therapeutics, ADCs, and orphan drugs — covering stopper geometry, moisture control, container closure integrity, and extractables and leachables risk, and how the right component choices help manufacturers navigate the fill-finish challenges that come with freeze drying.
