Safe Handling of Anticancer Drugs and ATMPs Using Isolator Technology
The handling of cytostatic drugs and the manufacture of ATMPs (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products) place the highest demands on sterile and aseptic working conditions. Cytostatic drugs are highly effective yet toxic substances whose handling is strictly regulated, as even the smallest amounts can pose a health risk to staff. ATMPs, on the other hand, are extremely sensitive products for which even minimal contamination […]
Greater process reliability through 3D and VR technology
In today’s highly regulated and competitive pharmaceutical and biotech industry, aseptic processing requires precision, reliability, and continuous improvement. Digital transformation offers powerful tools to address these challenges by improving process understanding, operational efficiency, and real-time transparency. This presentation explores how innovative digital solutions are revolutionizing aseptic operations and delivering measurable […]
Annex 1-compliant E-beam transfer with surface sterilization
Given the growing demand for pre-sterilized RTU components such as syringes and vials, e-beam technology is being used more and more frequently. By sterilizing the surfaces, it enables these components to be transferred into Class A cleanrooms, such as isolators. According to the requirements of Annex 1, the transfer of materials into and out of cleanrooms and critical areas is one of the […]
H.U.G.S. Mobile Cleanroom Robotics – Use Cases and Benefits
The presentation features a mobile robotic solution designed for use in Class C and D cleanrooms. The system automates manual, contamination-sensitive tasks involved in microbiological sampling. It is based on the Stäubli Sterimove mobile platform, which carries the HEITEC top module—equipped with a collaborative robotic arm, a gripper, and a particle counter from Particle Measuring […]
In-line instrumentation for the pharmaceutical industry
Given the high standards for quality and product safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing, sterile process engineering plays a key role in ensuring the efficiency and safety of production processes in both upstream and downstream operations. Contamination-free process control remains a critical quality factor throughout the rest of the process chain, including cleaning and sterilization. This requires […]
Water Wars: Challenges and Opportunities of Ultra-Pure Water
The panel discussion provides a comprehensive overview of key issues in ultrapure water treatment, bringing together four key perspectives. The first topic, “Everyone has biofilm. Do you know where yours is growing?”, highlights why modern microbiological monitoring is indispensable. Old methods such as spot-check monitoring are reaching their limits in the face of complex systems. Microorganisms form biofilms that evade even the most advanced disinfection methods, such as ozone […]
