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?
-
Used for lab scale and production operations at multiple International Pharma manufacturers, our Granulator containment technology applications take the idea of retrofits to another level.

Isotube is an effective option for the safe loading and charging of multiple drums of HPAPIs. Compared to the DCS® Drum Containment System for safely discharging drums, it is the preferred choice when charging lumpy and agglomerated products as a lump breaker system can be included in the lower part of the discharge hopper.
-
Dec offers filling lines for both liquids and solids for the aseptic fill-finish process that require high containment equipment.
