CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT SOLUTIONS
-
Biofluorescent Particle Counters (BFPC), like the TSI BioTrak® Real-Time Viable Particle Counter, are an alternative microbiological method that serves as the solution for Annex 1 compliance and Pharma 4.0 implementation.
-
Sterility is key for high-risk applications such as injectables, parenteral formulations, ophthalmic and peritoneal dialysis solutions, and many more.
-
Since 2000, the AES team has been working with companies in their development of autologous and allogeneic cell and tumor processing technologies. As this market segment has evolved (and continues to evolve), AES has continued to work with clients to develop modular cleanroom technology that drives efficient, safe, and compliant process operations.
-
Insertion technology for ASEP-TECH® Blow/Fill/Seal systems was pioneered by Weiler Engineering, Inc. The technology incorporates the use of a barrier isolator, typically located outside the machine room and integrated with the BFS machine. Sterile inserts such as tip and cap assemblies or multi-entry rubber stoppers are loaded into the isolator (which is maintained at Class 100 conditions) through a rapid transfer port.
-
In the spectrum of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, injectable product manufacturing facilities represent the most sophisticated and challenging to design, build, qualify and operate, particularly when products manufactured in these facilities are rendered sterile when complete, ready to inject directly into a human. For this reason, very careful consideration must be made when developing such a facility.
