Agenda Released for Pre-Filled Syringes East Coast 2016

SMi Group is delighted to announce that an agenda has now been released for its 3rd annual conference and exhibition ‘Pre-Filled Syringes East Coast,"taking place in Iselin, New Jersey, USA on 25th -26th April 2016.

Iselin, NJ, November 26, 2015 --(PR.com)-- With exponential growth of b"ologics and protein-based products, demand for pre-filled syringes (PFS) is growing on an exponential scale. As such, the global pre-filled syringes (PFS) market is presenting lucrative opportunities for both pharma and device companies - the investment forecast expects to exceed $6.6.bn by 2020. According to a recent study led by Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston*, switching to PFS can also cut related costs by almost 50%, equivalent to $162,000 in savings.

While we have witnessed booming investments in PFS, pharma and device manufacturers still need to overcome a number of challenges to commercialize PFS. It also faces fierce competition with innovative drug delivery platforms. Hence, developing a drug-compatible and patient-centric PFS remain top priority amongst market participants.

Emulating the previous success of the 2015 show, the 3rd annual “Pre-Filled Syringes East Coast” event, will delve further into the core issues of PFS including: human factor engineering; PFS material selection and GMP compliance; compatibility and injectability considerations for complex biologics and combination product.
