Scientific Insights Help Ensure High-Quality Outcomes
At West, our goal is to partner with customers to mitigate risks of drug/packaging incompatibility, container/device and functional challenges. Although we consider critical quality attributes during development of drug packaging and delivery systems, there can be knowledge gaps of various interfaces based on the specific application of use, such as component-to-container, container-to-device, and container-to-drug.
Formed in 2016, Scientific Insights Lab brings together experts with broad knowledge and experience in polymer materials, surface science, biologic drugs and computational modeling. We help customers understand, select, optimize and improve container closure system targeting specific to their drug product applications and manufacturing process.
Our comprehensive protein testing capabilities include:
system screening
protein adsorption analysis
biologic activities assay
primary structure analysis
protein particles & aggregation testing
protein thermal stability
product-related structure & impurities
We also perform surface analytical and functionality testing capabilities to assess drug impacts on containers over time. Using theoretical prediction and experimental verification, we assist our customers to predict long term container/drug compatibility at the early stage of combination product development.
Finally, we can perform container closure system (CCS) compatibility and optimization testing for high-quality performance. When used in combination with the comprehensive container closure integrity (CCI) testing methods, our experts can serve customers with
CCS analysis
components selection/recommendation
process set up, troubleshooting & optimization.
By partnering together, West’s experts offer customers the ability to understand the interactions of containers and their new drug products, to provide solutions of container closure systems to mitigate risks down the road in a close, collaborative customer relationship.

For the pharmaceutical industry, the cost of developing new and innovative therapies will continue to rise (the cost of developing a drug is now estimated to be between $1.5 billion to more than $1.8 billion<sup>1</sup>).
West’s SmartDose® platform has been selected as a finalist in the 19th Annual <a href="http://mdeawards.mddionline.com/">Medical Design Excellence Awards</a> (MDEA) competition. Considered the medtech industry’s premier design competition, MDEA recognizes significant achievements in medical product design and engineering and the many people behind the scenes—engineers, scientists, designers and clinicians—who are responsible for the cutting-edge products that are improving patient healthcare.
West is now celebrating the one-year anniversary of its Integrated Solutions initiative, known as Simplify the Journey™. Throughout 2019, we socialized the program through marketing materials and face-to-face conversations with customers. Now it’s time to reflect on the lessons we’ve learned — and to look forward to the opportunities on the horizon.
Today in Waterford, Ireland, West hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction for the company’s new pharmaceutical component manufacturing facility. The event celebrated West’s continued investment in Ireland and commitment to the local Waterford community.
When choosing a resource for laboratory testing, pharmaceutical manufacturers face a difficult decision. Which is the better option – an independent facility or a supplier-affiliated laboratory?
