Any vial, ampoule, or lyophilized container with broken, stretched, peeled, or altered tamper-evident seals cannot be returned under any circumstance.

Authorized return consignments must be shipped in original thermal packaging with prior written Return Material Authorization (RMA) issued by our compliance desk.

Seal Requirement

100% Uncompromised tamper-evident seals

Authorization

Mandatory written RMA prior to return shipment
