Vetter dual-chamber technology

For complex compounds that require lyophilization, Vetter offers two efficient and user-friendly systems: the dual-chamber Vetter Lyo-Ject® syringe and dual-chamber V-LK® cartridge.

For complex compounds that require lyophilization, Vetter offers two efficient and user-friendly systems: the dual-chamber Vetter Lyo-Ject ® syringe and dual-chamber V-LK ® cartridge. Lyophilized drug resides in one chamber; diluent in the other. The drug is reconstituted just prior to administration in a few simple steps.

Competitive advantages

  • Product differentiation in a competitive arena, whether at initial launch or as part of a product lifecycle management strategy
  • Market opportunity in a growing homecare sector, as patients and caregivers seek drug-delivery systems easy and safe enough to use independently
  • Increased API yield, due to reduced overfill requirements

Dosage forms:
In addition to lyophilized-drug/diluent combinations, dual-chamber systems may also be used for liquid/liquid or powder/liquid drug combinations that require separation until point of use.

Sizes:


Dual-chamber syringe: in 1 ml, 2.5 ml and 5 ml sizes, covering fill volumes of 0.1 ml - 5 ml per chamber
Dual-chamber cartridge: in 1.5 ml size, covering fill volumes of 0.1 ml - 1.4 ml (first chamber) and 0.1 ml - 1.3 ml (second chamber)

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
Complying with International Pharmacopoeias
