GERMANY – Schreiner MediPharm has developed a label with light protection that blinds the drug for a current clinical trial by WuXi XDC of a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC).

WuXi XDC, a prominent CRDMO based in China, specializes in ADCs and bioconjugates and needed a label that would protect the sensitive lyophilized powder inside transparent vials from external light exposure.

Schreiner MediPharm met this challenge by creating a label with integrated UV and light protection, shielding the contents and safely blinding the drug, ensuring reliable clinical trial outcomes.

The light-protection label is tailored for transparent vials, fully encasing the container to block harmful light.

A unique resealable inspection window also allows clear visibility of the vial’s contents, essential for examining the condition and color of the reconstituted lyophilizate before administration.

This combination of features safeguards the drug, optimizes clinical workflows, and enhances product and patient safety.

Schreiner’s label is particularly beneficial in ADC research. ADCs, an innovation in cancer therapy, deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, minimizing harm to healthy cells and reducing side effects compared to traditional chemotherapies.

By providing light protection and supporting trial reliability, Schreiner MediPharm’s label is a forward-thinking solution in the field of oncology.

Trimco Group launches plastic-free PaperMark RFID inlays

Simultaneously, Trimco Group, a global provider of RFID, packaging, and data solutions, has introduced its FSC-certified, plastic-free PaperMark RFID inlay series.

These inlays replace traditional PET substrates with recyclable FSC-certified paper, reflecting Trimco’s dedication to sustainability.

A recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) showed that paper-based inlays outperform PET-based ones in environmental impact.

Designed for apparel and home goods, the PaperMark inlays are crafted in partnership with leading tech providers and feature Impinj M700 and M800 series tag chips.

These chips improve read sensitivity by 1.5 dB, enhancing read range and supporting streamlined asset tracking and supply chain efficiency.

Endorsed by Auburn University’s ARC Quality certification program, the PaperMark inlays represent a significant step forward in sustainable RFID technology.

“Our new PaperMark inlays allow brands to improve operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact,” said Dennis Sand Eskesen, Trimco’s head of RFID and source tagging solutions.

Alongside Trimco’s supply chain platform, ProductDNA, the PaperMark inlays underscore the company’s commitment to eco-friendly innovation.
