Company comments | As previously communicated, our 10mL vial will be placed on 100% allocation in October. Contract customers will be allocated 100% of 10 mL historical monthly demand with no coverage of 1 mL possible. As the 10 mL inventory currently in circulation expires on September 30, 2022, we will be releasing October allocations on September 27, 2022 to allow early access to better dated inventory. Any quantities purchased the week of September 27, 2022 will be reduced from October allocations. Please note, newly released inventory will expire on January 31, 2023 and we anticipate fresh inventory of 10mL to be available by November 14, 2022. |
