Sterile injectables
We leverage the highest-quality facilities, technologies and analytical capabilities to help you bridge development and delivery, scaling safely and compliantly. Our state‑of‑the‑art Bridgeton, Missouri facility enables sterile fill finish, device manufacture and final assembly in a single location, supporting Annex 1‑aligned operations throughout.
A foundation of innovation, built to perform
By leveraging our comprehensive solutions, rich legacy of experience and device-agnostic, turnkey injectable solutions that adapt to your strategy, our engineers support injectable products as they progress from preclinical development to commercial manufacturing.
Vials, cartridges and syringes
We can aseptically fill finish any currently available ready-to-use format, from small-scale single batches to large-scale campaign filling, up to 100mL. Our device-agnostic approach helps you identify the optimal solution for your therapy.
Maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime
Through strategic investments in automation, we have optimized traditionally manual processes, increasing output while reducing errors and improving efficiency. Our modular filling suites minimize downtime and provide superior scalability, ensuring your production remains on schedule.
A bridge to the future
Our world-class Bridgeton, Missouri facility features over 155,000 square feet of dedicated aseptic operations space, including laboratories and formulation suites. Almost 11,000 square feet of this space is dedicated to high-speed isolator fill suites, with four isolator filling lines supporting vial, cartridge and syringe programs.
Equipped with advanced sterility assurance isolators and automation technology, we prioritize patient safety in every product we produce. This investment in innovation significantly expands our fill-finish capabilities, enabling us to continue manufacturing more tomorrows.

Injectable delivery platforms: Exceptional by design
Our patented single‑ and dual‑chamber sterile injection platforms are engineered for reliability, ease of use, portability and durability, drawing on our legacy as the inventors of the autoinjector. With over 60 years of innovation spanning commercial, emergency‑use and high‑reliability applications, we apply deep device and systems expertise to ensure every platform surpasses quality expectations.
Our latest autoinjector innovations prioritize patient comfort and ease of use. Leverage advanced designs that comply with industry-standard two-step sequences and accommodate a wide range of containers and fill volumes in a compact form factor.
Our advanced proprietary platforms at a glance:
- Two designs: 0.3mL to 3mL delivery and <0.5mL delivery
- Intramuscular or subcutaneous injection
99.999% minimum system-level reliability meets FDA emergency use guidelines - Easy adjustability of key user interfaces:
- Uncap and activation forces
- Two-step activation: Remove cap and press and hold down on the injection site
- Built for expansion: Early designs which incorporate cartridge and dual-chamber options
We are committed to optimizing the delivery of your therapy, whether through our proprietary platforms or a third-party device. We leverage our extensive experience working with various platforms across all stages of development and manufacturing to ensure a seamless and efficient process for your project.
We are pioneering intradermal drug delivery, offering customized microneedle array patches tailored to your precise specifications. Our advanced systems ensure the reliable delivery of a wide range of therapeutics, including vaccines, peptides, proteins, biologics and small and large molecules, with options for both solid and liquid APIs.
Our legacy of autoinjector innovation
From the very beginning of the autoinjector’s history, we have led the way in innovating self-administered injectables. Before the autoinjector, military personnel and allergy sufferers relied on options that were difficult to use and required a complex series of steps, delaying treatment in emergencies.
2024
Next-generation autoinjectors designed for reliability, usability and patient experience.
Our next-generation platforms are built for expansion with options for single or dual chambers, liquid or dry APIs and prefilled syringes or cartridges.
2009
Created the TruJect™ platform
The TruJect™ platform introduced the next generation of easy and reliable single-chamber autoinjectors with integrated sharps protection.
2002
Invented the BinaJect® platform
The BinaJect® platform introduced an industry-leading dual-chamber option that enhanced stability for intramuscular injections by keeping drugs separated in vitro and in vivo.
1970
Invented the ComboPen® platform
The ComboPen® platform was created to deliver medical countermeasures more efficiently in the field while navigating complex regulations.
1959
Created the emergency use autoinjector
The AtroPen® was one of our first autoinjector platforms. Providing fast, reliable self-injection options in emergency situations, this platform was used by the military and then NASA in 1961 with the Project Mercury spaceflight program.
