Prefilled syringes have transformed medicine delivery by preventing contamination and simplifying injections. We, Noterd, a Chinese pioneer, rose from importing machines to leading global innovation. Our story details the struggles, breakthroughs, and vision for safer healthcare.
How we got started
In 2004, China lacked the expertise to produce prefilled syringes. President Gao, the founder of Noterd’s factory, faced a brutal reality: critical machinery had to be imported from Europe, making production slow and expensive. Determined to change this, Gao assembled a small team of five engineers. Their mission is to create China’s first automated molding machine.
The team worked tirelessly, sketching hundreds of designs. Early prototypes failed, but in 2006, they succeeded. Their first machine could produce 10 million syringes annually, slashing costs and wait times. “We knew innovation was the only way to compete,” Gao recalls. 2010, our facility had 15 machines and began exporting to Southeast Asia.
Noterd factory owns the first complete production lines of prefilled syringes in Asia and the fourth in the world. We’re also the first enterprise in China to have a patent on an automatic molding machine for the prefilling syringe.
Recent innovations in our production lines
In April 2021, our factory launched the first set of automatic molding machines and needle-filling machines. The equipment has dramatically improved production capacity and quality. The error of 4 wires (0.04 mm) of this gear transmission in German equipment can now reach less than 1 wire (0.01 mm).
We also became the first Chinese enterprise to realize production machine localization, increasing our production capacity from 60 million to 120 million.
The independently developed third-generation equipment has been ahead of Germany’s same equipment. The fourth-generation equipment has also entered the stage of assembly and commissioning. It adopts a new technology that nobody has ever tried in this field. Its process uses big data to collect various gas proportions, pressures, and temperatures of the gas distribution system. It can also automatically adjust.
Our factory has 15 sets of first-generation glass coat molding machines. 7 patents. We have applied for 40 patents for inventions and practical information this year.
Why prefilled syringe?
The prefilling syringe fills the medicine directly into the syringe on the production line. Compared to the traditional injection vials and ampoule bottles, it ensures zero contact with air during drug use. It also avoids the risk of secondary pollution in the injection process.
Prefilled syringes are a vital tool in the medical industry. Their importance cannot be understated. Prefilled syringes are used to store and deliver a variety of medications, from liquids to powders. It’s also widely used in vaccine packaging and hyaluronic acid injection. Besides, various sizes, plunger styles, and finger grips are fitted with prefilled syringes for specific requirements.
Prefilled syringes are more expensive than plastic disposable ones, but their superior quality justifies the higher cost.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, prefilled syringes proved critical. Stored at -70°C, Pfizer‘s vaccine required packaging that wouldn’t shatter. Glass prefilled syringes, used by regional pharma partners, ensured safe delivery.
Gradually improve the prefilled syringe packaging solution
Prefilled glass syringes offer high transparency, excellent chemical resistance, and strong barrier properties. They are prone to breakage and may interact with certain drugs, leading to potential compatibility issues. Then, polymer syringes came into being in response to the need.
Polymer syringes are lightweight, shatterproof, and highly customizable in design. They complement glass prefilled syringes by addressing specific needs. Glass & Polymer prefilled syringes provide a comprehensive range of options for drug delivery, catering to diverse patient and medication requirements.
Cooperating with polymer syringe manufacturers in the market, we aim to be the leader in the prefilled syringe industry.
