How to fill sterile vials

Aseptic vial filling can be done manually, however using robotic technology allows you to fill multiple sizes and formats quicker with less risk. Automating the filling process can keep decontamination and changeover times between products low – as little as 15 minutes with Aseptic Filling Workcells from Cytiva.

Reduced risk for RTU vials

The use of advanced robotics provides control over the vial filling process. This results in less human error compared with manual filling, which then minimizes contamination of the drug products. Ready-to-use (RTU) nested vials with press-fit closures further reduce the risk of contamination and lower the cost of error.

Aseptic filling machines for CDMOs

Like all of your other biomanufacturing equipment, your aseptic filling machines must have the flexibility to serve multiple clients. That means different molecule types, formulations, and final containers – whether those are vials, syringes, or cartridges. Achieve that flexibility and maximize utilization rates.
