The following insights detail which preferences are driving the evolution of drug delivery device design. Adding ease to applications From using implants for contraception, to getting insulin injections at the dinner table, to using a wearable device to administer chemotherapy in the comfort of home, applications for drug delivery are largely being driven by patient preferences.

QIAGEN is a leading global provider of molecular Sample to Insight solutions. The company recently launched a syndromic test cartridge kit for the QIAstat-Dx Analyser System that can identify the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus within an hour. Designed for use in hospitals, clinics and laboratories, the company’s new QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing platform comes in the form of a compact, modular, table-top device into which multi-chamber cartridges containing test samples are inserted for analysis.

When a coronavirus pandemic is underway globally and there’s a widespread and shortage of life-saving hand sanitizer, companies of all types and in all sectors have jumped swiftly into action to do what they can to provide help at a critical time. However, the from-scratch fast and furious effort achieved by HR Pharmaceuticals, York, PA, may be one for the record books. With the invaluable help of C-P Flexible Packaging (CPF), the pharma company accelerated from a standing start in late March to filling unit-dose packets of self-made hand sanitizer 10 days later.

Our approach: Easy setup corrugated cardboard box DSS Plant Oftringen (Switzerland) created a single-material solution which is easy to set up without any additional inlays. Results: • Monomaterial solution – corrugated cardboard • Easy to recycle – better environmental protection across the supply chain • Easy to set up which leads to higher efficiency • Packaging fit for several sizes of the product • Lower cost and lower complexity • The solution won the World Star and Swiss Star Packaging Awards in 2016.

The original polystyrene (PS) construction of the lid and container has been replaced with a dispenser made entirely out of PP, which greatly increases the pack’s ability to be recycled. Equally important, the new dispenser offers the same durability and ease of use to ensure effective product protection and consumer convenience. The dispenser also retains the distinctive attractive design of the original to create maximum on-shelf appeal. The high gloss finish can be fully customised for effective brand differentiation, including individual colour matching, printing and sleeving.
