FLEXICON Aseptic Fillers Your answer for aseptic filling 6 DAFPA and singleuse filling Top quality whatever the scale Flexicon peristaltic pumpheads and silicone precision tubing offer pulsation-free, accurate dispensing from benchtop units to fully automatic production equipment. DAFPA is a ready-to-use, disposable filling system: Disposable Aseptic Fluid PAth. It optimizes Watson-Marlow Flexicon’s peristaltic liquid fillers in the biopharmaceutical industries. DAFPA eliminates the need for cleaning validation and allows drug segregation and fast batch change with no cross-contamination...

7 Simplify your cleaning validation Imagine a USP Class VI fl uid path that is fully traceable from end-to-end, is simple to validate and you have DAFPA. From the bag, to the tubing through the pump, to the fi lling nozzle on your machine, DAFPA provides an entire wet end, which is fully assembled and lot traceable. And best yet, its single use design eliminates costly cleaning validation DAFPA enhances a complete filling system, such as the FP50 shown here

Flexicon tabletop fillers are designed for use in cleanrooms for production processes complying with cGMP. Setting up a filling regime for vials, bottles, test tubes or other containers is achieved by loading the peristaltic pump tube and entering the parameters required using the intuitive keypad. The pump maintains a closed fluid path from the bulk product container to the end of the filling nozzle. Change the path and the pump is clean, sterile and ready for the next batch. You can control the filler with a foot switch or integrate it into an automatic bottle handling system. 8 4.00 3.50...

Automating the key steps of aseptic filling cuts the risk of operator error and related contamination. The peristaltic filling system like a FP50, eliminates the costs and issues of volumetric filling pumps. The FP50 is a very popular tabletop filling system for pharmaceutical research and development departments and biopharmaceutical companies. FP50 users can avoid sending delicate, expensive and critical products to outside filling facilities, which saves money, especially during clinical trial phases. FP50 16 A customized FP50 is built into an isolator so that the fl uid and the fi lled...
