From aseptic-processing strategy and RABS-versus-isolator selection to filling technology, first air, transfer, interventions, robotics, qualification, APS and lifecycle management.
Technical content, operational tools and specialist support organised around the real decisions involved in an Aseptic Fill-Finish and Barrier Systems project.
CCS, QRM, product and process requirements, container strategy, URS and technology selection.
Vials, syringes, cartridges, RTU, filling technologies, sterile product path, closing and line architecture.
RABS, isolators, first air, transfer, glove systems, bio-decontamination and intervention strategy.
Automation, robotics, Data Integrity, FAT/SAT, IQ/OQ/PQ, APS, maintenance, requalification and retrofit.
Identify the activities, decisions and evidence required at each stage of your Aseptic Fill-Finish or Barrier Systems project.
Define product, process, container, terminal-sterilisation assessment, CCS, QRM and URS.
Select filling technology, line architecture, container strategy and RABS versus isolator.
Design the barrier, first air, airflow, transfer, glove systems, interventions, bio-decontamination and automation.
Integrate filling equipment, utilities, HVAC, EM, software and robotics; execute FAT/SAT and commissioning.
Execute DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ, integrity testing, bio-decontamination qualification and Aseptic Process Simulation.
Manage operation, interventions, maintenance, deviations, periodic review, requalification, retrofit and lifecycle.
The Project Library connects each project stage with relevant GuideGxP technical content. New articles appear automatically when they are published.

An operational guide covering the full lifecycle of Aseptic Fill-Finish and Barrier Systems: CCS, QRM, RABS and isolators, line design, first air, transfer, interventions, glove integrity, bio-decontamination, robotics, qualification, APS and retrofit.
Barrier technology, interventions, airflow, bio-decontamination, automation and APS require a clear distinction between GMP requirements, technical standards, QRM and Good Engineering Practice.
CCS, aseptic processing, RABS, isolators, Grade A, first air, interventions, transfer, gloves, bio-decontamination and APS.
URS, DQ, FAT/SAT, commissioning, IQ/OQ/PQ, change control and lifecycle qualification.
Automation, robotics, software, recipes, electronic records, audit trails, Data Integrity and the computer-system lifecycle.
Technical principles applicable to aseptic processing and separative devices, used within their appropriate regulatory context.
Describe the product, container, line configuration, barrier strategy, project stage and support required. GuideGxP will review the request and, where appropriate, may connect you with a specialist matched to the project.
