Planning the perfect cleanroom airlock
Staff access influences work processes and cleanliness levels. Only with the appropriate planning and equipment can clothing be both cleanroom-compatible and efficient. In addition to personnel routes, the supply of clothing items and their disposal must also be considered. Using practical examples of personnel airlocks designed and implemented for customers in the pharmaceutical industry, which optimize throughput and take future requirements and guidelines into account, solutions are [...]
GreenGMP: Experts discuss the path to sustainability
GMP:talk panel discussionGreenGMP: Experts discuss the path to sustainability What does sustainability mean for pharmaceutical manufacturing? Where can quick successes be achieved for CO2 reduction? In which areas do we need to rethink? Do GMP requirements need to be adapted or reinterpreted? What are the short, medium and long-term activities? Where does the pharmaceutical industry stand in comparison to other industries? Dr. Christoph [...]
Sterility test isolator STISO
Flexible applications, such as fast and effective material transfer or a stable sterile test, accelerate your production processes. Product, environmental and operator protection as well as a fast and reproducible decontamination process are important foundations for fast batch release. Sterility test isolators from Metall+Plastic are manufactured in a cGMP-compliant design. The Sterility Test Isolator - STISO from Metall+Plastic was developed as a plug [...]
Elastomer-free constructions
Solutions for challenging tasks in sterile process engineering. Elastomers are often limited by temperature and chemical resistance. NEUMO offers innovative, proven and certified technologies and solutions.
Fill & Finish - Different "Ready to Use" filling modules
Flexibility in process control in aseptic production is the trend of the future. Ever smaller batch sizes and fast changeover times, for example to switch from vial filling to syringe filling, are the requirements in development as well as in production. The VarioSys system shows how this has been successfully implemented
REINER! Fraunhofer Purity Technology Award
The "REINER!" purity technology prize from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA will once again be awarded this year for the best new innovations from the purity technology sector at the LOUNGES in Karlsruhe! This year, the "REINER!" is celebrating its tenth anniversary. 10 years of great applications and ideas, full of innovations, sustainable aspects and always with [...]
Conductivity measurements according to USP and Ph. Eur.
Conductivity measurement has been a proven operational measurement technique for monitoring the quality of water for pharmaceutical purposes for many years. In this presentation, the latest developments in the form of digital sensors will be discussed alongside the requirements of the pharmacopoeia for measurement technology.
Make full use of the product life cycle!
When it comes to process instrumentation, companies are aiming for a long life cycle. Support in the form of services is constantly increasing here - individually or as a package. The use of competent service partners is also being promoted by demographic change. But which services can provide support here? This ranges from the professional installation of measuring instruments to calibration and [...]
Operating costs & CO2 footprint-hot & cold WFI systems
CRB has developed a tool that can be used to calculate the resource requirements and operating costs of a pharmaceutical water system in detail, from drinking water to POU. It thus enables an objective comparison of different process combinations. In contrast to many simplified approaches, it takes into account losses during standby phases and when starting up and shutting down the systems, as well as costs for maintenance, spare parts, [...]
Optimize processes, reduce set-up times, sell earlier
High time for innovationThe pharmaceutical industry is facing many challenges today. Be it the trend towards increasing SKU complexity with smaller batch sizes, increasing demands on marketing and user-friendliness, products with shorter life cycles or even personalized medicines. The Covid pandemic has also made it abundantly clear in recent years that a rapid response and [...]
