INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • When AST came to the table on the design for our new fill-finish isolator, one of the first areas AST engineers wanted to address was the usability and accessibility of the isolator and corresponding operations. With our customers’ point of view in mind, we wanted to address specific points of friction routinely encountered by operators and closely examine whether those friction points were necessary.

    Does an isolator need to be ergonomically unfriendly to clean?

    Should simple mechanisms like isolator doors be challenging to engage? (As much as one can appreciate exercise, no one wants to do “arm day” in cleanroom coveralls).

    Does routine maintenance have to be time-consuming and laborious?

    Many of these factors are accepted as par for the course in aseptic fill-finish manufacturing. Our question was, why?

  • Ensure the safety of your personnel, products, and patients with contamination control solutions. From compounding isolators to cleaning and disinfection, discover comprehensive solutions for your pharmacy.

  • Used MG2 Planeta 100 continuous motion capsule filler with touch screen HMI, vacuum system, serial# 4661, built 2010.

  • Flexible Containment Isolators provide containment standards better than can be achieved with Downflow Booth technology, and often compare favorably with a Rigid Isolator system.

  • 30" Vector Hi-Coater Coating Pan, stainless steel construction, for model VHC-1355 coater, built 2002.
