Information about Plastic Bottles
Plastic bottles can be used for many different areas and processes and are not only to be found in producing pharmaceutical companies, but also often in research and development departments and laboratories. They are the counterpart to the classic glass bottles and are often disposed after using them once.
The usage of so-called single-use products reflects a strong trend in the pharmaceutical industry, which has many advantages for the end users. For instance, the costly cleaning and also sterilization process can be skipped, which is often a risky process step and involves the danger of cross contamination.
But even when it comes to multi-use products, components made of plastic have also some significant advantages. They allow some serious weight savings compared to components made of glass, which often weight its multiple. They are nearly completely break-proof, which highly increases the safety of employees and secures the contained product. Also, components made of plastic are commonly much less expensive than their glass equivalents.
The GMPTEC product portfolio offers you many innovative and high-quality types of plastic bottles, which can be used for a large range of different processes:
- EZclear® Erlenmeyer Flasks
- EZBio® Bottles
- SECUREgrasp® Bottles
- Heavy Duty Vacuum Bottles
- Centrifuge Bottles
- Containers
The GMPTEC bottles made of plastic consist of high-quality materials only. They are compliant to the requirements of the FDA, UPS Class VI tested and also free of animal derived components. All products are supplied with a certificate of conformance, which reflects batch number, date of manufacture and also material conformities. The high product quality makes our plastic bottles the perfect choice for critical processes and assures the optimal quality of your finished products.
Besides the standard version, we also offer a range of gamma sterilized ready-to-use bottles. When using this type of bottles, the costly autoclaving and cleaning process can be skipped and the products can be used right after opening their protective packaging. This saves times, also manpower and additional energy costs. Many of these gamma sterilized products are part of an extensive sterility validation, which allows to certify a sterility assurance level of 10-6!
For example, our ergonomic SECUREgrasp® bottles, which are available as a gamma sterilized version with certified SAL 10-6. These bottles have an optimized design and also a fantastic handling due to their molded finger grips and the large surface closure. The wide bottom assures a secure stand and protect from costly product loss due to overturned bottles. Additionally, these bottles can be combined with the Autofil® equipment, which allows to quickly and also easily use them for filtration applications.
