No single analytical technique is sufficient to fully assess silicone behaviour. The article explores complementary approaches including silicone emulsion spiking, interfacial tension, quartz crystal microbalance, high silicone container testing, water contact angle, extraction and quantification, imaging and force testing. Together, these methods can provide insight into formulation sensitivity, silicone migration, container surface behaviour and device functional performance.

Silicone lubrication helps enable consistent injection forces in parenteral containers, but silicone layer thickness, mobility and spatial distribution can change over time. In a new Parenteral Technology Supplement article, ZebraSci experts Alex Downs and Vincent Laperle explore how silicone sensitivity, migration, surface behaviour and device functional performance can be characterised during combination product development. Read the article to discover why understanding silicone behaviour earlier can help inform development decisions. Meet ZebraSci - a BD Company, at PODD Boston 2026, Booth #530.
