SiO2 Medical Products Inc.

ASPR's IBx Portfolio

Product: Pharmaceutical Vials

Description of Project: SiO2 provided a containment system platform for storing novel biological vaccines and therapeutics including coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

Unique Impact: With a gas barrier, SiO2 vials have gas permeation properties like glass and therefore provide the shelf life required and stability required by many therapies. SiO2 vials also can withstand 1,500 pounds of direct force which potentially saves millions of dollars from breaking on filling lines and minimizes loss in the supply chain, and the vials are shatterproof, making them safe for use by healthcare staff and patients.
