Aseptic small batch filling and closing system
Optimize your small-batch aseptic processing with this versatile system, designed for precise filling and closing of sterile liquid pharmaceuticals while maintaining stringent cleanliness standards.

Fills and Closes Sterile Liquid Pharmaceuticals
The GENiSYS® R from AST is a versatile aseptic small batch filling and closing machine designed for pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturers requiring high precision in sterile drug production. This machine integrates advanced robotic systems to efficiently fill, close, and seal vials, syringes, and cartridges, ensuring compliance with cGMP regulations. Capable of processing various container formats, it supports clinical trials and small-batch commercial production of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and personalized medicines. The system offers a modular configuration, allowing for seamless integration with lyophilizers and other packaging systems. Automated in-process controls and environmental monitoring enhance product yield and sterility assurance. Constructed with pharmaceutical-grade materials, the GENiSYS® R provides reliable, contamination-free operation with options for isolator or RABS aseptic barriers.
