Canisters eliminate oxygen for drug product stability.
Press Release Summary:
Composed of FDA-grade HDPE, StabilOx® Canisters resolve product instability issues caused by oxidation and moisture-related degradation by eliminating oxygen from packaged environment. They also regulate moisture within packaging while maintaining desired Equilibrium Relative Humidity. Canisters are virtually non-dusting, eliminating potential for product contamination. Ends are precision welded and stay sealed even under extreme pressure.

Multisorb Technologies Introduces Stabilox® Canisters to Eliminate Oxygen for Enhanced Drug Product Stability
Buffalo, NY (April 24, 2007) - Multisorb Technologies, a global leader in active packaging technologies, introduces its StabilOx® Canisters at Interphex 2007. This new format offers the same performance as Multisorb's StabilOx Packets in the management of moisture and oxygen to protect against oxidative degradation of the drug product in its packaging. StabilOx canisters provide oxygen scavenging and moisture regulation capabilities to pharmaceutical manufacturers with production lines configured for traditional canister formats.
"Sophisticated drug formulations require both oxygen and moisture management, posing complex packaging challenges to manufacturers," says Adrian Possumato, global manager, pharmaceutical market at Multisorb. "To address these demanding market needs, Multisorb has developed StabilOx Canisters. The new format allows Multisorb to extend stability solutions to virtually any packaging operation."
StabilOx Canisters resolve product instability issues caused by oxidation and moisture-related degradation by eliminating oxygen from the packaged environment, thereby reducing the rate of oxidative degradation of the drug product. Unlike traditional inorganic oxygen scavengers, StabilOx canisters also regulate moisture within packaging while maintaining the desired Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) critical for retaining product integrity, performance, and stability throughout the supply chain.
StabilOx canisters are composed of FDA-grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which requires no additional stability testing and offers effective adsorption rates to protect the integrity of drug compositions. Additionally, it can withstand irradiation for final product sterilization. The canister is virtually non-dusting, eliminating the potential for product contamination. Its ends are precision welded for increased structural strength and stay sealed even under extreme pressure.
Sized to be fully-compatible with high-speed packaging systems and dispensing equipment, StabilOx canisters allow manufacturers to avoid costly investments in alterations to the production line.
Multisorb Technologies has been an innovator in sorbent technology for over 40 years. Founded in 1961 by John S. Cullen to protect products against the damaging effects of moisture, today Multisorb is North America's largest producer of packaged and fabricated sorbents and the world leader in active packaging components.
