Aseptically processing small batches of sterile drug products has many unique challenges that have to balance cost, flexibility and quality. Normally for small batches companies default to manually filling and processing approaches with very little automation. Unfortunately, given the intimate interaction manual processing has with these products, contamination risk and process variability can be high. AST’s new benchtop family of products are specifically designed to minimize the risks associated with aseptic productions of small batch sterile pharmaceutical and biotech products.

Tacoma, WA. – Aseptically processing small batches of sterile drug products has many unique challenges that have to balance cost, flexibility and quality. Normally for small batches companies default to manually filling and processing approaches with very little automation. Unfortunately, given the intimate interaction manual processing has with these products, contamination risk and process variability can be high.

AST’s bench top line is specifically designed to minimize the risks associated with aseptic productions of small batch sterile pharmaceutical and biotech products. These semi-automated systems automate the most critical processes such as: filling, closing and sealing, to ensure they are performed correctly and consistently. The systems include advanced capabilities including automatic In-Process Weight Checking (IPC), electronically controlled axis’, and Electronic Batch Reporting to further enhance process control and quality.

BENEFITS

  • Automated critical aseptic functions
  • Compatible with aseptic environments such as Laminar Airflow Hoods, Bio-Safety Cabinets, and isolators
  • Three small machines provide all the required capabilities to process vials, syringes and cartridges
  • Tool-less format parts make processing multiple container sizes and types easy

APPLICATIONS

  • Research & Development (R&D)
  • Drug Product & Process Development
  • Compounding Pharmacies
  • Stability Studies
  • Personalized Gene & Cell Therapies
  • Clincial Trial Materials
