Industry analysts have pointed out that this is related to the manufacture of pharmaceutical glass bottlesIt is understood that the vaccines and pharmaceutical bottling process called potting, this process is complex and time-consumingBecause the vaccine, the quality of the relationship between human health and safety of drugs, so the potting process needs to ensure product quality, to avoid contamination and so onindustry noted that because of the time trombone technology, basic solvents, pharmaceuticals, and contacts the inner wall of the glass, storage temperature, and the disinfectant equal reason, the glass will fall "dandruff", is generated off-chip, vaccines, drug quality and safety impactThere have been colleges and universities teaching material "glass technology principle," a book clearly states: "In particular, the glass used for packaging pharmaceutical injectable drugs, such as ampoules, salt water bottles, sterilization and autoclave under a variety of climatic conditions, long-term and in the chemical stability of drug exposure is not strong, the glass will dissolve in the liquid, or even fall off into the film (commonly known as off-chip), the light affect the quality of the drug solution, drug severe seriously affect human health, even life-threatening" The pros and consglass quality has a great impact on the quality of medicines and drug safetyTherefore, medicinal bottles of quality issues need special attention, which also increased the difficulty of pottingin order to avoid the glass vial "dandruff" appears, generally Job pharmaceutical mesh inspector, a by a optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and other techniques of doing off-chip testHowever, these processes need to spend a lot of time to complete, and the project inspector face large quantities of inspection tasks in a long time, the strong pressure of the state, the situation is prone to visual fatigue, resulting in test errors, and also on the body health impactTherefore, medicinal bottles of inspection time-consuming, long delivery cycleIt is understood that, in order to avoid off-chip, there is now a plastic bottle with a cyclic olefin copolymer produced, the vial of this material does not readily react with the drug, chemical and thermal stability preferably, transparent vial commonly used to manufacture other containers and in the medical fieldIndetecting part, is detected with the development of technology, have a more rapid Atomic Absorption SpectrometryExperts believe that the current situation in the short term supply of vaccine vial still facing great pressureBut with this branch attention, improvement of people's living standards and health concepts, and more and more attention to the health care industry, pharmaceutical glass or layout to attract more investors.
