NEW ISO VIAL DIMENSION STANDARDS
To achieve the utmost efficiency and reproducible quality, manual labor aspects of our sterile RTF vial production will be reduced or eliminated in the future. To achieve this, new automated manufacturing systems and equipment will be implemented in the coming 2-3 years. Once fully implemented, there will be a slight dimensional change to some of the RTF vials we offer.

We already have samples of non-sterile ISO 2ml and 10ml vials available that can be ordered to review ahead of time. We also have an ISO 10R open sterile vial immediately available in alveolar trays of 96pc per tray. If your facility is applying labels to the vials, you may want to order a few sample pieces to make sure the labels and other packaging (eg: vial boxes, etc) will work with the new ISO vial dimensions. For a visual illustration, please see the image below for ISO 10R vials:
