I noticed in one chart a comparison was made between Emerade, EpiPen and Jext. I couldn't find much about Jext other than their main presence but it looks like it shares form factor with an EpiPen.

Wow. That is so cool. Longer needle meets many of the concerns about injecting into overweight persons.  And it's slimmer! I love it.

uv protection would be one guess.

The others are:

a) possible extended dosing evaluation-- recall, Dey/Mylan doesn't exactly have a profit motive for testing efficacy/degradation out past expiry.  My guess is that they haven't.  There's just not much literature on the subject either way-- and yet people routinely store them in high heat and then report some efficacy even with devices which are YEARS out of date, so...

b) proprietary buffering with redox scavengers-- but this one is something of a long shot, IMO.  They might degass buffering solutions with nitrogen or even with a noble gas, though-- and that might really make a HUGE difference when coupled with excellent UV protection.

^Any ideas on how they achieved greater stability? The literature states the shelf life is longer as well.

WOW.


That looks like a GREAT device, Eragon.  I'm openly envious, now.

That is both sobering and intriguing.

My husband's on schedule to attend an allergy conference next month in Asia with some presenters from Germany. I'll see if he can finesse a trainer somehow.
