Layer Explorer being established internationally

Layer Explorer, designed to control silicone layers in prefillable syringes, is now rapidly being established in Europe and the USA.

At the beginning of this year, a leading manufacturer of filling lines for carpules and syringes began to implement the new technology in its siliconization stations. Since then, the market-leading manufacturers of prefillable syringes, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines in France and the USA (such as Becton Dickinson) have started to use Layer Explorer as well. The areas of application include all the steps, from the optimization to the control of silicone layers in prefillable syringes.

Layer Explorer breaks the 50nm limit

In cooperation with its partners in the pharmaceutical industry, rap.ID is currently developing its Layer Explorer technology, enabling it to characterize layer thicknesses of up to 10nm. This is required to control bottles and vials, as well as having other areas of application. Silicone layers of such extremely low thickness protect sensitive formulations as well as the glass of the syringe bodies.

Layer Explorer + Single Particle Explorer

Layer Explorer + Single Particle Explorer = monoclonal antibody development
Combined analysis allows for the quick optimization of formulation combinations for primary packaging with regard to the formation of agglomerates. When combined, the two analysis systems provide a comprehensive product understanding, helping to implement modern Quality by Design (QbD) in the development and control of parenterals while requiring minimal human resources.
