Vetter's Chicago facility moves into full operation

摘要

Vetter's first US facility at the Illinois Science + Technology Park in Chicago is now fully operational. The German CDMO, which focuses on aseptic filling of syringes, cartridges and vials, has opened a 24,000ft2 site with microbiology and chemical analysis labs, material preparation and compounding functions, three cleanrooms for aseptic filling, and visual inspection. The Chicago facility is the first to use Bosch's new MHI 2020 B fully automated vial filler and offers technology and processes to support preclinical through to Phase II compounds. Designed for early clinical-stage, biopharmaceuticals, the vial filler can run up to 10,000 liquid or 6,000 lyophilised vials per batch.
