SCHOTT iQ®

SCHOTT iQ® is a holistic platform to standardize ready-to-use (RTU) packaging components and improve the quality of RTU containers. With SCHOTT iQ®, development and delivery of high-quality injectable drugs becomes efficient and significantly improves the safety of patients.

The holistic approach

The iQ® platform offers maximized flexibility, with a versatile portfolio of containers and closure components matching a broad range of filling lines. Complexity is reduced by speeding up qualification and installation with pre-tested and standardized packaging, while patient safety is improved using the highest quality containers with reduced cosmetic defects.

Simplifying fill + finish

SCHOTT iQ® reduces the traditional filling process. Washing and siliconization machines and heat tunnels are no longer needed as the ready-to-use containers already come pre-sterilized. Standardized tub formats also allow for quick and easy changeover between different container formats, which can all be filled on a single filling line.

Product variants

Available variants within the SCHOTT iQ® platform are adaptiQ®, syriQ® and cartriQ®, which are all packed in standardized tubs. These products can also be adapted and customized according to your specific needs.
