TAP Biosystems announced the development of a stainless steel version of the Fill-it system, designed for safely dispensing biohazardous materials such as vaccine stocks.
It is suited to the demands of working with highly potent vaccine stock, fitting into standard isolator cabinets, thus reducing the product contamination risk, as well as the operator’s exposure to this biohazardous material.
The system automatically decaps, accurately fills and recaps a rack of 24 off, 2 ml vaccine vials every two minutes. This ensures vial-to-vial consistency and makes routine vial fill and finishing safer, because there is no need for any manual intervention. Each vaccine batch is aseptically processed on fill-it using GMP-certified, single-use tubing that is destroyed after use.
