The plunger rod is a fundamental feature of a complete syringe drug delivery system. There are three key functional characteristics that all pharmaceutical manufacturers should consider when determining the appropriate plunger rod for a specific drug product and syringe system.
West and Daikyo plunger rods are designed to match the threads of a variety of plungers, while also meeting the diameter and length requirements imposed by various syringe barrels. The dimensional fit, break loose and gliding force, and disengagement force associated with each respective West plunger rod and plunger combination are desirable. Additionally, West can provide plunger rods with alternative material options for specific durability and functional needs, as well as customized colors for differentiation.
For any questions and inquiries regarding the variety of plunger rods offered by West and Daikyo, as well as documentation highlighting studies performed to assess the key functional characteristics, please email Simon.Cote@westpharma.com or TCS.Americas@westpharma.com.

Recently, there has been discussion in the industry regarding the utility of polymer-based vial containment systems for the storage and transport of gene therapy drug products, which can be performed as low as -80<sup>o</sup>C. Since it is known that all polymers are gas permeable, discussion has centered on whether polymer-based systems can sufficiently restrict ingress of oxygen (during refrigerated storage) and carbon dioxide (during transport on dry ice).
An enormous growth trend is being observed in the market for biologic drugs; they are being employed ever more frequently as treatments for chronic issues such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. This growth is reflected by the number of companies involved (established and emerging), and in the capital investment for manufacturing facilities for both biologics and biosimilars. Companies must apply a holistic approach to bringing a biologic drug to market.
