Save Time And Money On Turn-Over Packages, Pre-Validation, And Factory Acceptance Testing

Documentation developed, information collected, and labor expended to create a turn-over package (TOP) for a biopharm modular system represents a significant cost to any project. So much so, that when working with a client, we jokingly say “we sell documentation and you get the system for free.” To properly validate a system, you have to make the investment in documentation, but you can realize significant labor and cost advantages when developing TOP documentation and pre-validating your modular system via Factory Acceptance Testing in a closed-shop environment.
