RESOURCE OVERVIEW
Lyophilization is a common method for stabilizing parenteral drugs with poor solution stability. Beyond formulation and process development, a robust container-closure (c/c) system is essential to ensure the success of the lyophilized product. Pharmaceutical rubber closures play a critical role in preserving the drug’s integrity by acting as barriers against moisture, air, and oxygen. During lyophilization, stoppers are partially placed on vials before being fully stoppered under a predetermined vacuum level at the end of the process. Afterward, the vials are removed from the lyophilizer, capped, and sealed to maintain sterility.
