SCHOTT TOPPAC ® freeze was introduced to the market in May 2023 to support the increasing number of medications that require frozen conditions to remain stable throughout the supply chain, from filling to administration. The syringes are made of cyclic olefin copolymer, are break-resistant, biologically inert, and feature advanced barrier properties to ensure drug stability.

“Winning the Pharma Innovation Award is an important accolade for our syringe that is changing the drug development pipeline in its first year,” said Patrick Gallagher, Vice President and Head of Polymer Solutions at SCHOTT Pharma. “The success of SCHOTT TOPPAC ® freeze highlights our commitment to evolving the pharmaceutical industry, offering unparalleled safety and stability for the next generation of medications, which require precise temperature controls.”

Quickly, SCHOTT TOPPAC ® freeze has had a big impact on the market. Two industry-leading pharmaceutical manufacturers have selected this syringe for their entire mRNA vaccine pipelines. This innovation, and quick demand for it, made the product worthy of one of the 13 awards bestowed by Pharma Manufacturing, which cites the awards are “a tribute to those who listen to the needs of the market and their customers, and a result, have distinguished themselves as leaders in pharma equipment and technology.”

Every minute, more than 25,000 patients safely receive an injection stored in one of SCHOTT’s primary packaging products. SCHOTT TOPPAC ® freeze is another example of how SCHOTT puts patients first by making drug delivery safe, easy, and real.
