The closed fluid path that characterizes the peristaltic process of this pump assures that sterile product never comes in direct contact with any moving parts before being dispensed. Product passes from the bulk tank directly into sterile medical-grade silicone tubing that is placed onto the circular track of a filling head. A very gentle massaging motion lightly compresses the tubing against a proprietary dual-roller rotor to achieve a smooth, non-pulsing flow. This gentle pumping operation moves and dispenses even the most delicate liquids.

Adapted from the firm’s sanitary pharmaceutical twin-screw feeder, this tablet press lubricant feeder features the addition of a specialized gas venturi for aspiration of the lubricant (magnesium stearate) directly to the tablet press. The unit is available on a portable cart, in both volumetric and loss-in-weight models. It offers an automated, nearly constant feed rate, for uniform coating of the tablet tools, thereby avoiding sticking problems.

Designed for use in the biopharmaceutical industry, the Aseptic M-7250CP constant-pressure system is a premium Microfluidizer processor that incorporates new system architecture and is able to integrate machine controls, functions and data recording onto a single common platform. Standard features include a Yokogawa data acquisition station (DAQ) that continuously monitors temperature, pressure and flow, enabling users to easily and cost-effectively record and print digital testing data.

The MicroSeries agitator bead mills produce particles sized less than 100 nm, which increases their absorption and delivery efficiency in the human body. The mills perform wet-grinding of small batches (0.14–0.5 L) with resulting particles down to 10–20 nm in size. This laboratory-scale equipment is completely scalable to full production size. Because product loss is minimized, the mills are suitable for grinding high-quality, high-priced and scarce pharmaceutical materials.

This dockable, dual-use bioreactor offers process flexibility as a batch, fed-batch or perfusion system, and it can be used as a conventional, reusable, stirred-tank bioreactor or as a one-time-use bioreactor. Its design allows for the addition of various gases and liquid process supplements. The system has three subsystems: vessel, piping, and instrumentation. The vessel module is mobile and central to the product’s interchangeability for reuse and one-time use. The piping module provides the structure that houses and supports all elements that do not require portability.

The SonoDry 1000 spray drying system incorporates the manufacturer’s nonclogging ultrasonic spray nozzles, and is suitable for aqueous and solvent feeds. It allows drop sizes to be customized by varying the frequency of the nozzle’s ultrasonic vibration. The system has a fully integrated hot plate and magnetic stirrer, as well as an ultrasonic atomizer and an air-spray two-fluid nozzle.

Nexus is a range of standard, packaged, pre-validated distribution systems that are designed for purified water and water-for-injection applications with flowrates up to 30 m3/h (132 gal/min). Each package comes with an inverter-driven pump, ASME BPE pipework, a heat exchanger, and a control panel. The hygienic design and Type 316L stainless steel fabrication are fully compliant with GAMP, ISPE, cGMP and FDA requirements.

Cintas Cleanroom Resources has expanded its ISO Class 3 cleanroom-garment laundry services to Westland, MI. This joins its four other locations, which now collectively serve Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. These laundries operate under the guidelines of the ISO 9001:2008-based quality management system to provide excellent service to industries requiring both sterile and nonsterile cleanroom garments and consumable supplies

The XPert weigh box has inlet and outlet HEPA filters, and serves as a physical barrier to protect the operator from hazardous airborne particulates and powders in a leakfree environment. It has a static-pressure gage that monitors HEPA filter loading, an anti-static ionizer fan mounted on the interior of the box to reduce static charge, and a balance vibration isolator for delicate weighing operations. It also has a seamless one-piece, molded poly_ethylene shell that provides chemical resistance and can be cleaned easily.

These high-quality double-ferrule instrumentation-grade tube fittings provide leakproof and torque-free seals at all tubing connections, including instrumentation, process, pneumatic, hydraulic and gas systems. Resistant to temperature change, the fittings do not significantly reduce flow area and work with a variety of tube materials. Durable and adaptable, the fittings can be remade several times, and can withstand heavy impulse and vibration in both vacuum and pressure systems.
