Automated aseptic filling and closing system for vials and syringes

Optimize small-batch production with precision filling and sterile sealing designed for diverse liquid pharmaceuticals, ensuring compliance and seamless integration into high-stakes development environments.

Fills and Seals Liquid Vials, Syringes, and Cartridges

The GENiSYS® C from AST is a compact aseptic filling and closing system specifically engineered for small-batch production of vials, syringes, and cartridges. This system excels in providing precise and flexible filling for a wide range of pharmaceutical and biologic applications, including mRNA vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. It integrates advanced features such as in-process weighing, viable and non-viable environmental monitoring, and inert gas purging to ensure sterile conditions and product integrity. Capable of processing up to 20 containers per minute with high filling accuracy of up to ±0.5%, GENiSYS® C supports both peristaltic and rotary piston pump dispensing options. Designed to operate within laminar airflow hoods, RABS, or isolator systems, it adheres to cGMP standards and is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, supporting your regulatory requirements. Customizable configurations and user-friendly interface streamline operations, making it an essential tool for pharmaceutical manufacturers, biologics producers, and contract manufacturing organizations seeking to optimize their aseptic filling processes.
