WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

• Battling Counterfeit Medicine Through Packaging Serialization

  Medicines need to be packaged in a way that allows counterfeits to be quickly and easily identified, preventing their circulation and/or eliminating drug recalls. An essential element of this process is package serialization. Outsourcing work with contract manufacturers is one such way to be fully prepared for serialization implementation across all production lines.

• Serialization: Optimizing, Planning And Implementation

  Increased globalization in the supply chain for prescription drugs has also increased the distribution of counterfeit drugs. Product serialization enables manufacturers and distributors to protect consumers from potentially harmful counterfeit and stolen drug products by improving supply chain tracking, visibility and management.

• Gene Therapy: Maintaining Sterility At Low Temperature Storage

  Bringing the first gene therapy for pediatric Spinal Muscular Atrophy to market in a leak and break resistant container which maintains sterility over product shelf life, through freeze and defrost cycles presented challenges. A combination of high-quality components created a proven system which ensured CCI over the product shelf life and low temperatures.

• Dual-Lane Checkweigher Provides High-Throughput Tube Line Automation Inspection

  Teligent produces a diverse range of generic prescription topical and injectable pharmaceuticals. To automate inspection on their high-throughput tube line, they turned to a checkweigher with a two-lane configuration that matches their dual-lane filler.

• Inline Weighing Technology Offers Additional Quality Check Features

  Protina Pharmazeutische GmbH produces high-quality preparations, such as medicine, food supplements and cosmetics. Alongside weight monitoring, the checkweigher used at Protina offers other important functions that support the company's system of strict quality management.

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Utilizes Checkweighers To Identify Inaccurately Filled Product

  In no other industry is the need for product quality and process reliability as critical as in the pharmaceutical industry. Sanofi-Aventis is the global leader in core medical areas, such as diabetes/metabolism, the cardiovascular system, thrombosis, the central nervous system, internal medicine, oncology and prevention through progressive vaccines. Checkweighers check vital insulin: in the Injectables Division, where liquid drugs such as different types of insulin or drugs for emergency medicine are produced, the packaged medical compounds are subjected to final checks using a dynamic checkweigher.
