EasyLyo, specific design advantages

SGD Pharma – Lyophilized glass vials advantages – EasyLyo

Optimized base design to enhance heat transfer

The vial was especially designed to improve heat transfer through the base of vial during freeze-drying process. The new design includes a ﬂat bottom without stippling, and an optimized radius

Better inspectability

Our lyophilized glass vials show a noticeable improvement of aesthetics quality, compared to regular molded glass vials.

High mechanical resistance

EasyLyo vials have a better wall thickness that offer physical resistance. Compared to tubular glass vials, EasyLyo glass vials are 3 to 4 times more resistant in terms of vertical load (stoppering stage) and 2 times more resistant in terms of radial load (loading/unloading stage)
