Flip-Top Desiccant Vials

Flip-Top Desiccant Vials have become a practical solution for in-vitro diagnostic test strips and several OTC drug products, gaining popularity for their simplicity and ease of use by consumers.

The integrated desiccant design provides for the required protection against physical and chemical degradation and serves to ensure that healthcare products’ stability and effectiveness are maintained.

High cost, in addition to excessive desiccation, and single-sourcing, have been issues of major concern with the current industry offering of desiccant vials. Such concerns can readily be resolved with Multisorb’s Multiform CSF® Flip-Top Desiccant Vials

The functionality of the Multiform CSF® Flip-Top Desiccant Vial is based on the Multiform CSF® , a compressed Silica Gel or Molecular Sieves desiccant product incorporated in the base of the flip-top vial.

Multiform CSF® is produced using advanced aseptic manufacturing processes, FDA approved, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and has a Drug Master File (DMF)—providing our customers with the highest level of quality assurance.
