SHANGHAI,Jan.11 2021 --Airnov Healthcare Packaging made its debut successfully at the CPhI China2020at Shanghai New International Expo Center onDecember 16-18.Theglobal leader in healthcare packaging attended the event with its latest innovationsincludingHAT®IN desiccant vialand laser-marked desiccant canister,underscoringitspositionto lead product innovation and thebenefits itsdesiccants and oxygen scavengers deliver for the markets for pharmaceutical,diagnostic and nutraceutical products.
2020 was everything but an ordinary year,with unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19pandemic proliferating around the globe has changed the way we work and live. The pandemichas madepeople pay more attention to their health,and the medical packaging sector has seen the incredible coexistence of opportunities and challenges. According to the latest data,China's pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at a rate of 14-17%. With increasing demand for pharmaceuticals and improving healthcare systems,China will become one of the fastest-growing regions in terms of pharmaceutical consumption[1]. So it is now a topic of common concern how to improve production efficiencies and package capacities.
Standout Airnov HAT® IN vial
The HAT INvial utilizes Airnov's advanced desiccant polymer (ADP) technology integrated into the vial itself to provide a high moisture barrier as well as excellent moisture adsorption. The vial is designed to be easily integrated into automated filling lines for fast,reliable production. It is the latest offering in Airnov's active and ergonomic vials,joining the HAT SNAP and HAT IN SNAP vials currently available on the market.
The ADP technology combines the ease of design and production of plastics with the moisture adsorption properties of desiccants to create a vial lining ideal for moisture-sensitive products such as diagnostic test strips. The ADP material is injected molded to fit snugly in the HAT IN cavity,providing a high barrier to external moisture while also adsorbing moisture on the vial's headspace. The ergonomic hinged lid closes tight with an audible click to further keep moisture ingress at a minimum,protecting even high-sensitivity glucose test strips.
These features also make the HAT IN a perfect container for nutraceuticals,such as probiotics. Molecular sieve packets are widely used throughout the industry to protect these moisture sensitive supplements but require larger bottles due to the volume of desiccant. The HAT IN vial's space saving design protects the same amount of product in a smaller footprint,increasing the number of containers per shipment. The container is delivered to customers closed,minimizing moisture exposure before being filled and sealed on automated filling lines. The HAT IN meets US FDA,China FDA,and EU regulations,with regulatory statements available upon request.
