A pen injector platform for GLP-1, insulin and growth hormone products. Choose a mechanical pen for 1.5 · 3 mL cartridges or an electronic pen that logs every dose — from the same manufacturer.
Multidose drugs such as GLP-1 and insulin are filled in cartridges and delivered with a pen injector. The pen's injection force, dose accuracy and IP status drive the launch schedule. Nextech supplies both a mechanical and an electronic platform and matches them with pen needles and cartridge components.
Mechanical disposable pen · electronic auto-injector
Both platforms dose in 0.01 mL steps
China · EU · US · Korea — SH2401
ISO 11608-2 type A interface
A mechanical pen: dial the dose, push by hand. 0.01 mL minimum step, multiple doses from one cartridge, then the whole pen is discarded. 10,000-cycle durability testing and FTO analysis in four jurisdictions are complete, so it drops straight into a pharma project.
Set the dose with mode, up/down and inject buttons on an OLED display; a motor injects at a constant speed. ±0.1 U accuracy below 20 U. Dose history is stored on the pen and synced to an app over Bluetooth. A 30-minute magnetic charge lasts 30 days.
Container 0.5–50 mL · drive force 1–100 N · injection speed · dosing SOP · housing colour and shape. The drive is designed around the primary container — cartridge, prefilled syringe or vial adapter.
Same cartridge, same pen needles — different drive and logging. Choose by product stage and patient group.

Both pens use the ISO 11608-2 type A interface, so Nextech pen needles fit directly: 31 · 32 · 33 · 34G, 4 · 5 · 6 · 8 mm, extra-thin wall (ETW), 3-bevel tip. Sourcing pen and needle from one manufacturer closes fit verification in one step.
See insulin pen needles →Both pens use the ISO 11608-2 type A interface, so standard pen needles fit — including Nextech pen needles 31–34G (4 · 5 · 6 · 8 mm). The electronic auto-injector uses the same hypodermic needle standard.
SH2401 was developed with semaglutide, liraglutide, insulin, insulin degludec and somatropin as reference drugs. It fits 1.5 mL and 3 mL ISO 11608-3 cartridges; other volumes and viscosities are handled through custom development.
SH2401 has completed freedom-to-operate (FTO) analysis in four jurisdictions — China, the EU, the US and Korea. Reports are shared under NDA.
For the electronic auto-injector you can specify container 0.5–50 mL, drive force 1–100 N, injection speed, dosing SOP, and housing colour and shape. SH2401 can be adjusted in colour, labelling and dose-increment range. Development stages and lead time are quoted after we receive the specification.
Octudex, Nextech's official sales partner in Korea, handles consultation, quotes and samples; import, sales and payment are handled by Nextech Medical (Korea) Co., Ltd. Pens are supplied per pharmaceutical project; Korean approval status is confirmed on enquiry.
