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.

Elemental impurities, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are ubiquitous in nature. They are also toxic to humans and animals at certain levels. Because these elements are often part of mined minerals used in the manufacture of drug products and/or drug containment systems, they can have an impact on the quality of a drug. <br />
At West, we are committed to attracting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce. We understand that diversity is key to our success and know that a diverse workforce leads to greater innovation, more opportunities, better access to talent and stronger business performance. We encourage a culture of mutual respect, where everyone feels valued and respected and can bring their authentic self to work every day, helping to foster an environment that enables our team members to stay energized, focused and committed to doing their best.
In March, West presented the Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital with a donation at the opening of West Digital Technology Center (DTC) in Bengaluru, India. These funds will support patients who need financial assistance and who would otherwise not be able to afford their cancer treatment.
“Retro.” “Vintage.” “Nostalgic.” These can be great terms to describe that classic car you have your eye on, but they are not great when describing your primary drug product packaging. Many of today’s drug products are still packaged with elastomer formulations and designs that were first developed over 50 years ago.<span> </span>Generic companies that simply replicate the innovator packaging could be affecting their operation negatively for many more years to come.<span></span><p> </p>
