October 14, 2021 – BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (Franklin Lakes, CO) announced the launch of the BD SCF PremiumCoat Plunger Stopper in partnership with Aptar Pharma.
BD SCF PremiumCoat is a syringe plunger stopper designed to support the injection of biologics into subcutaneous tissue with a 1mlL pre-filled syringe. The design incorporates Aptar Pharma’s rubber formulation and proven film technology intended to limit drug component interactions and ensure drug integrity. BD SCF PremiumCoat is designed to deliver improved functional performance, such as reduced glide force and glide force variability in a combination product.
The quality of this stopper is verified, in part, using BD Visioguard 100 percent camera inspection. This inspection serves to ensure that BD SCF PremiumCoat 1mlL Plunger Stoppers meet customer specifications and help reduce the risk of foreign matter contamination.
The BD SCF PremiumCoat Plunger Stopper addresses the need of pharmaceutical companies to de-risk drug development and support time to market while improving operational efficiencies and reducing stopper-related quality issues.
