Zielsetzung

Why should you attend this event?

You get an update on isolators for aseptic manufacture and for sterility testing
You get to know the results of recent studies on the validation of isolators
You have the opportunity to discuss your individual questions personally with experts
You can translate the theory directly into practice during 3 workshops at the manufacturing site of SKAN in Allschwil

Each participant will take part in all 3 workshops.
The workshops are held at the plant of Skan AG, partly including operational isolators. This brings the participants as close to daily practice as possible.

Hintergrund

The use of isolators is increasing both in sterility testing and in the production of sterile medicinal products, particularly in aseptic manufacture. It ensures a greater microbiological safety of the products, but at the same time requires increased inputs as regards the qualification of these systems and the validation of the production processes.

In 2004, Appendix 1 to the FDA Guidance for Industry “Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing” defined new regulatory requirements on using this technology, as did the PIC/S document PI 014-3 “Isolators used for Aseptic Processing and Sterility Testing“.

Zielgruppe

This GMP Education Course addresses those employees from the pharmaceutical industry and from suppliers of isolators for aseptic (toxic) manufacture and for sterility testing involved in the engineering, validation and operation of these systems, especially from the areas

Engineering / Production
Quality Assurance
Qualification/ Validation
Microbiology

The number of participants is limited.
Please understand that, for competitive reasons, not all firms can register their employees for this event.

Workshops at SKAN AG

Each participant will take part in all 3 workshops.

The workshops are held at the plant of SKAN AG, partly including operational isolators. This brings the participants as close to daily practice as possible.
