Looking beyond volume at PDA Universe 2026
September 07 2026
SHL Medical will exhibit at the PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference 2026, taking place October 6–7 in Palm Springs, USA.
As pharmaceutical pipelines continue to evolve, large-volume self-injection introduces new considerations beyond volume alone, from formulation requirements and device design to patient experience and manufacturing readiness. At Booth #107, we will showcase the latest evolution of our cartridge-based autoinjector for large-volume self-injection, alongside our portfolio of drug delivery solutions which include Quanta, Molly, and Reunite.
This year, SHL Medical will deliver a broader scientific presentation than in previous years. Our scientific contributions at the conference will cover topics across drug delivery device development, including autoinjector engineering, patient-centered device development, primary container integration, GLP-1 injection devices, and large-volume drug delivery. The tech talk will also provide a closer look at our cartridge-based autoinjector for large-volume self-injection.
Register today to visit Booth #107, attend our scientific sessions, and connect with our team to exchange perspectives on drug delivery technologies and combination product development.
