Aseptic filling station for small batch processes

Streamline small batch manufacturing with a tabletop filling station that reduces contamination risks and enhances precision in filling and capping operations, ideal for cell therapies and next-gen biologics.

Fills, Seals, and Caps Aseptic Vials

The Crystal™ M1 Filling Station by SKAN Group is a tabletop solution tailored for precise aseptic filling tasks in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. Its standout feature is utilizing the AT-Closed Vial® system to maintain functional closure throughout the process, thereby minimizing contamination risks. Ideal for operations such as engineered T-cells, mRNA vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies, this station supports up to 200 vials per hour with filling volumes ranging from 0.1 ml to 50 ml. The manually operated system seamlessly integrates into a biosafety cabinet or isolator, offering flexibility and ease of use for small, personalized batch production.

The process involves individual vial filling through a secure stopper, followed by laser re-sealing and snap-fit capping, ensuring a sterile environment for sensitive products. The equipment is ready for on-site setup in just six weeks and can be installed and qualified within a day, facilitating swift adoption. Fabricated to comply with cGMP standards, it caters to R&D, process development, and production scale-ups, with single-use, tool-less format changes guaranteeing a reproducible and scalable process.

Benefits
