mAbs Formulation
and Fill Finish
Products for Development and Manufacturing
Formulating, sterile filtering, and filling a drug product is complex but crucial. There are many excipient choices, filter options, and fill-finish technologies, each of which can have an impact on key attributes of the final dosage form including stability.
Final Sterile Filtration & Filling
Final sterilizing filtration or bulk filtration is a critical step in the monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacturing processes as it ensures bacterial contaminants are removed from the drug product. Multiple regulatory guidance documents describe specific considerations for filtration operations, including requirements for filter integrity testing and expectations for establishing compatibility of the filtration system with the process stream.
Final filling involves transfer of sterile filtered drug product to vials, syringes, or other containers in a highly controlled filling environment, designed to maintain sterility and mitigate any risk of product contamination.
We can support you in making informed choices for your filtration and filling operation with products and services tailored to this critical process step.
