Among the factors that can affect the glass surface chemical durability, pH, salts concentration, complexion agents presence, etc., the vial under filling is rarely considered. United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <660> test for glass surface chemical durability, prescribes a filling volume of 90% of glass containers brimful capacity but most of glass containers for inject able solutions are filled less than or by far less than 90%. Any time the filling volume is lower than the container nominal one, glass surface attack can be enhanced due to the increasing unfavourable surface/volume ratio. No regulation there is on this topic neither in the European Pharmacopeia nor in the United States Pharmacopeia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
