pure² M1

Description

The use of an isolator for biopharma manufacturing keeps on trending, since it implies lower installation requirements and strong reduction of contamination, by creating a controlled environment and decontamination of the material, operating chambers and equipment.

Result of collaboration between Aseptic Technologies, SKAN and our users, the pure² M1 is the first isolated fill & finish unit, dedicated to small cGMP batches.

The pure² M1 combines the AT-Closed Vial® technology and the isolator shell by SKAN pure² Solutions. It consists in an isolator with integrated manual filling equipment, rapid material airlock and an exit laminar airflow.

The overall design was performed in tight cooperation with end-users, resulting in deep understanding of the processes involved and providing an ergonomic solution.

Functioning principle

The pure² M1 contains the semi-automated AT-Closed Vial® filling process within the pure isolator by SKAN.

The ready-to-use material (AT-Closed Vial® in AT-CryoBox, AT-Cap in rigid support bases, fluid path AT-Filling Kit) is introduced through a rapid decontamination airlock, the bulk product is passed directly to the main chamber through aseptic liquid connector, the AT-Port System, to keep the bulk outside of the isolator, where it can be cooled and homogenized.

In the main chamber, the AT-Closed Vial® are semi-automatically filled, laser re-sealed and capped with a snap fit. The dosing system, a peristaltic pump, provides high accuracy and is easily calibrated thanks to an integrated weighting cell.

Overall batch status is demonstrated live on the built-in screen in the back of the isolator chamber. The filled vials in AT-CryoBox can be continuously brought outside of the isolator through a mousehole and an exit laminar airflow on the right.

Standard decontamination cycle for a maximal load, validated cleaning procedures and the full Validation Master Plan for the AT-Closed Vial® technology are provided.
