Sterile test environment Aseptic isolator Fast decontamination with H 2 O 2 Cleanroom class A (ISO 5) Software according to GAMP Test cost comparison The testing of sterile pharmaceutical products for sterility is one of the most important tests for the batch release of e.g., parenterals, ophthalmics or surgical sutures. Sterile testing checks the effectiveness of the sterilization process or the quality of aseptic manufacturing. The test specimens are destroyed with the test, so only a small part of the manufactured products can be tested, so the significance of the test is limited. Nevertheless, a positive finding that is not due ...

Robotics in a sterile Pharma Isolator / Sterile Discharging of large Aluminum Cans into a Process Vessel – Case Study · Bässler H, Lehmann F, Brom V · SKAN AG, Allschwil (Switzerland)
Sterile discharge Isolator Hydrogen peroxide decontamination Robotic Safe change filter OEB 3 product Catalytic converter for hydrogen peroxide The sterile discharge of bulk material into a compounding vessel is a frequent task in the pharmaceutical industry. In this case study the sterile powder comes in 10 L aluminum cans. The powder is classified as Operators Exposure Band (OEB) 3, that means an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of 10–100 μg/m 3 in the air is acceptable [ 1 ]. As a connecting device for the sterile transfer itself one can use either a Rapid Transfer Port (RTP) system (commonly used) or an aseptic split ...

Robot Pharmaceutical application Isolator technology H 2 O 2 decontamination Cleanliness Sterile filling Sterile production In the world of pharmaceuticals, there is a vital role for robots to play in the complicated processes of research and development, production, and packaging. Robots can be used in many applications in the sterile production of drugs from basic production steps to sterile filling and closing operations in the fill-finish suite. Robots are always applicable when production takes place in unfavourable working conditions like absence of oxygen or humidity in the process. These tasks will then be performed in an aseptic isolator. This article ...
