INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Multiparticulates enable tailored drug release with improved flexibility, dose accuracy, and patient convenience, leveraging technologies like Diffucaps® for customized profiles including immediate, delayed, extended, and pulsatile delivery.

  • Improve your manufacturing productivity with trusted weight powders.

    Increase throughput by outsourcing your dry powder preparation including supply, quality control, weighing and dispensing.

  • 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?
