Compass Pharma Services offers pharmaceutical packaging customers unique microfill packaging capabilities for pouches, vials and blister packages plus reagents for diagnostic medical devices.
Using a proprietary combination of mechanical redesign and improvements in metering and monitoring systems, Compass Pharma can package as little as 500 mg. of powder - or 40 microliters of liquid - with an accuracy of up to +/- 3% using standard filling technologies.
These new microfill packaging capabilities are well-suited for potent compounds, powders for aerosols or inhalers, and highly purified diagnostic chemicals and reagents for medical test kits.
As an added benefit to clinical trial packaging, accurate microfilling packaging technology can reduce or even eliminate the need for excipients, which can shorten drug development times by simplifying product stability tests and stability protocols. Compounds without excipients means there is little start-up or shut-down losses on packaging filling lines, and any valuable or potent drug substances are fully recoverable.
