Whether made of glass or advanced polymer, SCHOTT Pharma’s prefillable syringes (PFS) offer a highly stable, long-term storage solution and a safe, convenient delivery system for patients and healthcare professionals. By reducing the number of manual preparation steps compared to conventional packaging, PFS significantly lower the risk of medical errors and contamination, enhancing safety and reducing drug waste.

syriQ® and syriQ BioPure® – made of gold-standard FIOLAX® Type I Borosilicate Glass, characterized by strong barrier properties, reliable functionality, a proven regulatory pathway, and high compatibility with a range of fill-and-finish systems.
SCHOTT TOPPAC® – made from advanced Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), characterized by its lightweight design, superior break-resistance, excellent barrier-properties, and design freedom that allows customized packaging design and ensures flawless device integration.
