What type of glass is DURAN®, speaking in terms of pharmacopoeia?

DURAN® glass is type I glass according to American and European pharmacopoeia. It is, therefore, fit to be used with injection solution dosage forms and for the use in contact with food stuff. Upon request a certificate is available that states the detailed compliance with the respective guidelines and monographs of the USP, PhEur and JP, as well as the compliance with regulations concerning contact with food stuff.

Does DURAN® meet the requirements of the guidelines of the pharmacopoeias concerning UV-light transmission?

Yes, the light transmission properties of ambered DURAN® glass are being checked for every produced batch. The transmission of electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths between 290 and 450 nm lies below 10%.

Is there a contamination risk for my sample when using ambered DURAN® glass?

No, that is very unlikely. In contrast to the usual way of ambering, putting metal oxides into the molten glass in the furnace, DURAN uses a different approach. DURAN® glass is ambered by a post-processing Stepp only on the outside of the vessel. The inner surface remains unchanged.
