Airnov to launch HAT-B and showcase diagnostic portfolio at AACC

Airnov Healthcare Packaging, a controlled atmosphere packaging provider, will be launching a brand-new product and showcasing its diagnostic portfolio at the upcoming AACC event in Chicago, taking place on July 26-28.

HAT-B is the latest addition to Airnov’s HAT range of products which carries sustainable features including a reduction of plastic usage, adjustable desiccant quantity, and versatile sorbent material to fit stability requirements. No desiccant needs to be dropped in this packaging.

The vial, suitable for the diagnostics and nutraceutical markets, is available in two sizes. It provides an easy grasp and high in-use efficiency: the desiccant location at the bottom of the tube guarantees the closest position to the reactive part of the test strips for an optimal in-use efficiency.

Mélissa Plantier, product line manager at Airnov, said: “This is one of our most advanced sustainable products to date and is very simple for customers to incorporate into their manufacturing processes. It is compatible with automated filling lines, can use all type of desiccants and is “food-contact” compliant, as the desiccant does not touch the payload.”

Alongside HAT-B, Airnov will also be exhibiting other products including HAT-SNAP with tamper evidence features and HAT-IN, which integrates ADP (advanced desiccant polymer) technology into the vial itself to provide a high moisture barrier.

AACC attendees will also be able to see Airnov’s molecular sieve tablets, again available in multiple sizes, shapes, and coatings to suit every customer’s needs. These can be used in diagnostic tests and other medical devices where space is limited but total moisture protection is required.
