GENiSYS® C R&D, Engineering Runs, Small Batch cGMP Filling & Closing
Automated Filling & Closing System for Vials, Syringes & Cartridges
AST’s GENiSYS® C is an advanced and compact filling and closing system for automated processing of nested, custom and ready-to-use vials, syringes, and cartridges. With many features typically found in large scale filling machines, the GENiSYS C’s compact footprint makes this system ideal for use in small scale filling applications, including R&D, process development, engineering runs, niche product manufacturing, and even cGMP clinical and small-batch commercial manufacturing.
Trusted Partner for Maximum Product Yield
Maximize Product Yield
Eliminating waste is the key to successful small-batch processing. Necessary operations such as pump calibration, on-going fill volume checks and residual product hold-up in the fluid path all contribute to wasted product material. The GENiSYS® C in-process control system allows for 100% fill weight inspection and real-time filling directly on the electronic weigh scale to eliminate improperly filled containers and minimize product hold-up at the end of the batch in order to maximize product yield. Couple this with ASTView Electronic Batch Record (EBR) system and you are able to have a complete record of the dispensed product.
Capabilities
GENiSYS C is the ultimate “multi-tool” for small batch aseptic applications. Its design provides unrivaled flexibility in a compact layout, with an intuitive and simple to operate user interface. The GENiSYS C is designed to process nested, ready-to-use and custom vials, syringes and cartridges. The system can be configured with advanced system features and capabilities, including peristaltic and rotary piston pumps, integrated in-process weighing (IPC), viable, non-viable and particle monitoring (EM), electronic batch record (EBR) reporting, inert gas purging, and vacuum or vent-tube piston insertion of pre-filled syringes and cartridges.
The GENiSYS C is designed for use within a Laminar Airflow Hood (LAF), Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS), and aseptic isolators, making the system ideal for use in labs and clean rooms with minimal available space. AST’s meticulous attention to aseptic design, selection of the materials and surfaces has been done to ensure that the system meets cGMP standards for aseptic processing.
