Assessing container performance

The physico-chemical properties of the materials have a strong impact on the performance of the entire container system. Stevanato Group’s analytical services help evaluate how containers behave according to the specific needs of each drug product, supporting drug efficacy, device reliability, and overall system performance.

Our experts can assist with the selection of the right drug containment solutions, component evaluation, device optimization with existing containers, compendial testing, and the development and validation of customized methods for non-standard or product-dependent requirements.

Analytical techniques for container performance evaluation

Stevanato Group applies a wide range of analytical techniques to assess container behavior, mechanical performance, particle presence, leakage, and integrity across different packaging formats and product requirements.

  1. Liquid viewer: visible particles assessment
  2. Light obscuration and micro flow imaging: sub-visible particle count and morphology
  3. Dynamic light scattering
  4. Universal testing machines: analyses of mechanical and functional performances
  5. Optical microscopes (light, stereo, and DIC microscopy): surface and material imaging
  6. Dye Ingress and Helium Leakage test: container closure integrity verification
