A coated glass container includes: a glass surface; and a coating that coats at least part of the glass surface to form a coated glass surface. The coating includes at least one layer. The coated glass container fulfills the following parameter: leaching of [Na] ions after an alkaline treatment is 10 mg/l or less [Na] ions.

Coated glass element

A glass vial includes a base including a boron-containing multicomponent glass and a vial opening and holds a liquid active pharmaceutical ingredient formulation. The glass vial has a total volume of &#x3c;4.5 mL. A filling level of the glass vial with the active pharmaceutical ingredient formulation is not more than 0.25 and a concentration of boron ions, measured at a measurement site below a plane of a middle of the glass vial using a concentration depth profile at a depth in a range from 10 to 30 nm, has a value, averaged over the measurements of the concentration depth profile, that has an excess increase of not more than 30% compared to a concentration of boron ions measured using a concentration depth profile at a depth in a range from 10 to 30 nm with a measurement site in the plane of the middle of the glass vial.

Glass vial with increased chemical stability

A rapid test method for evaluating the delamination in glass packaging is provided. The method includes exposing the glass packaging means to an atmosphere consisting of steam in order to form a corrosion zone; and subsequently carrying out at least one other step. The other step includes: visualizing the corrosion zone using a light microscope; visualizing the corrosion zone by a staining process with a subsequent inspection process; or removing glass components in ultrapure water and quantifying the removed glass components. The rapid test method provides a conclusion about whether a glass packaging exhibits a tendency to delaminate or not in a simple and reliable manner and in a relatively short time span.

A container for pharmaceutical and medical applications made from glass, preferably from a borosilicate glass. The container is formed in the shape of a hollow body open at both its ends with a cylindrical portion having a wall thickness tolerance of maximally &#xb1;0.2 mm. The borosilicate glass has a nominal boron content that drops by less than 40% relative to the nominal value at all of the surfaces of the container.

Pharmaceutical and medical container

The invention relates to a method for the plasma treatment of glass surfaces, the metal component, in particular the alkali and/or alkaline-earth metal component in the superficial region of the substrate being reduced by a plasma treatment of a substrate.

Method and device for the plasma treatment of surfaces containing alkali and alkaline-earth metals

The invention proposes a process for the production of a container for pharmaceutical and medical applications made from glass, preferably from a borosilicate glass, wherein the container is produced by a press-blow process where the container is initially preformed in a pressing step, by making a ram press a dispensed glass drop into a mold that is open at its bottom, and where the parison so produced is given its final form by a subsequent blowing step.

Production of a pharmaceutical container from the melt

The invention proposes a process for the production of a container made from glass, in the form of a hollow body open on both ends for pharmaceutical and medical applications, in particular in the form of a syringe barrel, where a glass drop () is dispensed from a melting unit, is placed into a mold () that is driven to rotate, and is formed by the effect of the centrifugal force, the mold being driven at a rotational speed of at least 5000 rpm, preferably approximately 50000 rpm.

Production from the melt of a container made from glass

The invention relates to a composite material (), to containers made therefrom and to a method for producing the composite material (), which comprises a substrate () and a coating () on the substrate (), wherein the coating () provides at least a first region () facing the substrate () and at least a second region () facing away the substrate (), and wherein the first region () comprises a barrier layer () and the second region () a passivation layer ().
