Double-Stoppered Lyophilization Vials – USP Type I Glass for Biologics & mRNA Vaccines


Enhanced Container Closure Integrity by Pharglass | Dual-Stopper Design for Reconstitution & Long-Term Stability

Pharglass double-stoppered lyophilization vials are engineered for the most demanding freeze-dried therapeutics—where container closure integrity (CCI), reconstitution reliability, e long-term stability are non-negotiable. Made from USP Type I neutral borosilicate glass, these vials feature a dual-stopper system: an inner stopper that seals the lyophilized cake during storage, and an outer stopper that maintains sterility and enables safe, controlled reconstitution with diluent.

This innovative design is ideal for:

  • mRNA-LNP vaccines requiring strict moisture control
  • High-potency biologics (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, enzymes)
  • Two-chamber reconstitution systems without complex devices
  • Clinical trial materials needing multi-step dosing or dilution

Compliant with USP <660>, EP 3.2.1, ISO 8362-1, e YBB standards, Pharglass double-stoppered vials deliver superior protection against moisture ingress, oxygen permeation, and microbial contamination—critical for maintaining potency in lyophilized products with low residual moisture specifications (<1%).


Key Features & Benefits

  • Dual-Stopper System – Inner stopper protects lyo cake; outer stopper enables sterile reconstitution
  • USP Type I Borosilicate Glass – Ultra-low leachables, high chemical resistance
  • Optimized for mRNA & Biologics – Minimizes degradation during storage and handling
  • Superior CCI Performance – Validated via helium leak testing (<1 × 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar·L/s)
  • Compatible with Standard Lyophilizers – Fits all common tray configurations (2R–50R)
  • Clear or Amber Options – Amber version protects light-sensitive APIs

Why Choose Double-Stoppered Vials Over Single-Stopper?

Traditional single-stopper vials require needle puncture for reconstitution—introducing risks of:

  • Particulate generation from rubber coring
  • Moisture ingress after first use (in multi-dose scenarios)
  • Loss of sterility during manual diluent transfer

The dual-stopper design eliminates these issues:

  1. Diluent is pre-loaded in the upper chamber (or added aseptically)
  2. Reconstitution occurs in a closed system—simply push the outer stopper to mix
  3. No needle entry needed—preserving sterility and reducing operator error

This makes double-stoppered vials a smart choice for point-of-care use, emergency medicine, e resource-limited settings.
