To support expanded domestic production capacity for Activ-Film technology used to protect and ensure COVID-19 test kit integrity and accuracy.
October 19, 2021

Managing Editor, Contract Pharma
Aptar CSP Technologies has been awarded a $19 million contract from the U.S. government to support expanded domestic production capacity for the company’s Activ-Film technology, which is used to protect and ensure COVID-19 test kit integrity and accuracy. Aptar CSP’s Activ-Film technology is seamlessly integrated into diagnostic dipsticks and lateral flow cassettes to protect diagnostic tests from moisture or other environmental degradants that can impact test integrity and result accuracy. Activ-Film leverages Aptar’s 3-Phase Activ-Polymer platform technology to provide broad spectrum, custom-engineered protection delivered in a variety of configurations. The technology is formulated to adsorb a specific amount of moisture and other compounds at a customized rate, creating a consistent microclimate throughout the supply chain. “We are honored to partner with the U.S. government to deliver a much needed capacity expansion of our technology to support COVID-19 antigen at-home self-tests,” said John Belfance, President of Aptar CSP Technologies. The contract, funded by the 2021 America Rescue Plan Act 3080, provides for procurement of equipment and machinery needed to increase production of Activ-Film material at Aptar CSP’s Auburn, Alabama plant. Completion of this effort is expected in early 2023. “The continued need for testing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 along with pandemic-driven supply chain challenges has led to increased demand for our active material science solutions in the diagnostics space,” said Badre Hammond, VP Commercial Operations, Aptar CSP Technologies. “Building on current capacity, this funding will enable current and future partners to expand access to reliable diagnostic solutions for infectious diseases.”
