Quality, performance, dependability and lead time—these are just some of the factors that pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals consider when deciding between custom and configurable fill-finish systems. A key question is how to get the most out of tested, demonstrated technologies while remaining flexible enough to meet the product specifications of new and evolving liquid pharmaceuticals. Learn how AST utilizes modular building blocks of proven technologies to tailor solutions to the needs of your product and your operation. ▶ https://lnkd.in/g_bZahwX #Modular #AsepticProcessing #DrugDevelopment 

When you get a chance to spend time with the next generation of great minds, it’s easy to feel optimistic about the future. AST has been fortunate to have two talented, hardworking individuals, Aryan Chauhan and Utkarsh Mittal, join us for our summer internship program. They’ll be concluding their time with us, and we wanted to take a moment to wish them the very best and thank them for joining the AST family.      Aryan is returning to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to continue pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.   “The people at AST really helped me feel welcome and went out of their way to get me up to speed. I was given the opportunity to work on all sorts of technologies, from low-level hardware controls to machine learning. I especially appreciated how the company was willing to match my appetite for learning—if there was something I was interested in and wanted to learn about, I was given the support and tools needed to pursue it. It felt rewarding to work in an industry that profoundly impacts people’s lives.”   Utkarsh is also returning to the U of I, continuing his studies in Mechanical Engineering.    “I'm grateful to be a part of the innovative and hardworking team at AST. Working in an engineering-focused environment, I knew that every design consideration had to be well thought through and the guidance I received was invaluable in ensuring that. Every day was a chance to learn something new. “   Please join us in showing some #LinkedIn appreciation for Utkarsh and Aryan. We’re excited to see what opportunities lie ahead for you both! #Internship #FutureLeaders #LifeSciences

The ASEPTiCell represents a pioneering moment in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, as the original system was the first aseptic multi-format #fillfinish robotic machine capable of processing ready-to-use nested vials, cartridges, and syringes on the same line. Today, the latest-generation ASEPTiCell is a fully automated, high-performance system with an emphasis on speed, quality, and machine uptime. Highlights include: ☑ Able to process a wide variety of RTU container formats ☑ Fewer change parts for industry-leading changeover times ☑ 100 percent IPC with no compromise to throughput ☑ Available with high-speed vial capping ☑ Integrates exclusively with AST’s new isolator and decontamination technology for an all-in-one turnkey solution Follow the link for an in-depth look at this system, including a #video overview ▶ https://lnkd.in/g5VZmZe7 #AsepticProcessing #Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical Technology recently sat down for a #VideoInterview with our own Joshua Russell to discuss the latest from AST, what the recent growth in contract manufacturing and highly personalized medicine means for the pharmaceutical industry, and how AST’s newest innovations get at the heart of the some of the most pertinent issues facing fill-finish professionals.

💡 AST was #InTheNews recently as American Pharmaceutical Review interviewed Joshua Russell, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Josh discussed what sets AST’s groundbreaking new fill-finish isolator solution apart, why a modular, turnkey approach to technology is crucial to the time-to-market equation, and how AST will continue to lead with innovation going into the future.   Full article available below 🔽   #AsepticProcessing #CellandGene #LifeSciences #TechnologyandInnovation

Want to see AST’s modular philosophy in action? This #VideoBreakdown of our Isolated GENiSYS® C features a module-by-module overview, including our ☑ Semi-Automatic Bag Opener (SABO), ☑ Manual Tub Opener (MTO), ☑ Fill-Close Module (FCM), and ☑ Vial Sealing Module (VSM). It also demonstrates a range of recipe-driven processing options available for vials, syringes, and cartridges.   The advantage? Aseptic processing systems configured with proven technologies to meet product requirements and operational realities offer a flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient solution at better lead times for supply and service. AST designs these lines to be comprehensive, efficient fill-finish systems that ensure product integrity, optimize process flow, and make the most out of the available manufacturing space, including for operations requiring a smaller footprint. #FillFinish #Modular #cGMP 

For high-value liquid pharmaceuticals, a well-designed, efficient aseptic processing system is crucial to operational success. Cell and gene therapies, in particular, require high levels of stewardship and security to ensure product integrity. Considerations like implementing a clear first in, first out principle and minimizing product exposure and processing time are essential in any fill-line configuration. At the recent Virtual Pharma Expo, VP of Sales and Marketing Joshua Russell gave a live demonstration of our GENiSYS R system from AST headquarters and discussed our unique modular approach to configuring fill-finish lines to meet our customers’ needs.    Follow the link to check out the full presentation and read a rundown of some of the latest features and innovations available on our GENiSYS R system ▶ https://lnkd.in/grF6JRbQ #AsepticProcessing #TurnkeySolutions #CellandGene #Biopharma
