    摘要: In one general aspect, a method for filling multiple containers with a pharmaceutical product is disclosed, which comprises decontaminating sealed nested materials in a transfer chamber, removing from the sealed nested materials one or both of a container nest holding the multiple containers and a closure nest holding multiple closures, transferring from the transfer chamber to a controlled environment enclosure the removed nest, aseptically filling the containers with the pharmaceutical product, and closing the containers with the multiple closures. The nests are configured to allow multiple closures and containers to be simultaneously aligned concentrically, and closed simultaneously. Spring-loaded retaining structures on the closure nest allow it to releasably retain multiple closures above the corresponding multiple containers. In some embodiments the spring-loaded features are monolithically integrated with the closure nest. The product may be lyophilized in partially sealed containers while the sealing closures are releasably retained by the closure nest.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (10) for closing pharmaceutical containers (18) by means of closures (22), having a first holding device (12) for receiving at least one pharmaceutical container (18), a second holding device (14) for receiving at least one closure (22) for closing an opening (24) of the pharmaceutical container (18), wherein the two holding devices (12, 14) are mutually alignable, or are mutually aligned, in such a way that the closure (22) and the opening (24) of the container (18) are aligned with one another, wherein a plunger (34) and a counter element (40) are provided, wherein the plunger (34) and/or the counter element (40), by means of a drive device (36), can be driven and, relative to one another, moved, wherein, when the plunger (34) and the counter element (40) are moved towards one another when the drive device (36, 42) is driven, the plunger (34) acts on the closure (22) or on the container (18) in such a way that the closure (22) can come into contact with the container (18) and, in order to close the opening (24) of the container (18), can be pressed onto the container (18) by the cooperation of the plunger (34) and the counter element (40), wherein a force sensor (44) is provided, by means of which a force applied by the closure plunger (34) when the closure (22) is pressed onto the container (18) can be detected.

    摘要: Caps for sealing assemblies for sealing glass containers and maintaining container closure integrity at −80° C. or less are disclosed. The caps include a cap skirt having an annular body and a crimp region. The crimp region is a crimpable metal. The annular body of the cap skirt has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) greater than a CTE of a metal consisting of aluminum, a stiffness greater than or equal to 2 times a stiffness of the crimp region, or both. The greater CTE, stiffness, or both of the cap skirt increase the seal pressure and contact area between the stopper and glass container when cooled to −80° C. or less. The caps enable the sealing assemblies to maintain a helium leakage rate of the sealed glass container of less than or equal to 1.4×10−6 cm3/s at −80° C. or less.

    摘要: A barrel is provided having open proximal end and a closed distal end, and at least one groove in an interior wall thereof. The groove(s) define a length extending a distance from the open end of the barrel toward the distal end of the barrel and defining a substantially constant depth and width along the length thereof. A piston is in sealing engagement with the interior wall of the barrel. The groove(s) permits fluid to bypass the piston when positioned along the groove(s). At least a portion of the piston is positioned distally from the groove(s), thereby sealing substance within the barrel.

    摘要: A closure is provided for a container. The closure includes a base having a substantially cylindrical shape with a recessed area along a top perimeter of the base. The closure also includes a lid configured to close over and open off of the base. The closure further includes a tab that extends from a lower surface of the lid and includes a lip portion configured to fold back onto the tab and lock with the base when the lid is closed over the base. The tab detaches from the lid when opening the lid from the base after the lip portion is folded back onto the tab. A portion of the outer surface of the tab is visible through the at least one recessed area after the lid is closed over the base and remains partially visible after the tab has detached from the lid.
