New MGC OXYCAPT™ plastic vials
MGC’s new multilayer advanced material,
OXYCAPT™, integrates the best of plastic and
glass for plastic vials
What is OXYCAPT™?
The best of glass and plastic, without the drawbacks
Traditional glass and plastic materials for syringes and vials are filled with problems. Glass suffers from a range of issues—such as high-breakability and poor PH stability—while plastic has an insufficient oxygen barrier and UV barrier. The US FDA and pharmaceutical companies have searched for solutions. Competitors have launched advanced material products, but their imperfect oxygen barriers and stability have been met with criticism.
This led to the creation of OXYCAPT™—MGC’s new, lightweight, multilayer material, with all the benefits of glass and plastic.
MGC’s OXYCAPT™ unites the best qualities of glass and plastic in a three-tiered, multilayer, advanced material that features an excellent water vapor barrier & drug contact layer made from COP (Cyclo Olefin Polymer) and an oxygen barrier layer with an oxygen barrier polymer. With low extractables, low protein absorption, and low breakability, all components come together to produce the best high oxygen barrier material on the market.
Why it’s better
A breakthrough in longer-lasting, safer medications
OXYCAPT™ provides high oxygen barrier —along with the low inorganic extractables, low breakability, and lightweight properties of plastic. Inorganic low molecular extractables are below that of Type I glass. Excellent UV absorption means drugs last longer, with improved stability and efficacy throughout their lifespan.
Also for biologics and biosimilars, OXYCAPT™’s low extractables, high-breakage resistance, and high oxygen barrier—plus an improved UV barrier that absorbs UV and preserves drugs longer—make it the best, advanced material. Pharmaceutical companies with epinephrine, gene/cell therapies or emergency drugs like dopamine will also see benefits.

OXYCAPT™ in use
The best choice for plastic vial use
MGC’s OXYCAPT™ plastic vials are the right solution for parenteral pharmaceutical liquid medication storage. OXYCAPT™’s multilayer construction preserves drug stability and shelf life in plastic vials, with significantly reduced oxidation, compared to COP. Long-term trials find OXYCAPT™ eliminates the problem of delamination (visible small flakes and particles from glass deterioration over time) in glass, while maintaining its oxygen barrier. OXYCAPT™ also resolves poor stability and low visibility issues found in plastics.
