1. DEFINING THE PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS The success of the revolutionary helical lock – a major advance over traditional vials – can be directly traced to the very first step of development, wherein three critical challenges are to be defined:
(1) How to improve seal integrity jeopardized by screw-thread back-off due to autoclave temperatures (2) How to increase the ease and efficiency of opening the closure, and (3) How to reduce rejection rates in the field due to leaky vials, thereby improving cost savings
