SP’s fill-finish system chosen by NIBRT to deliver advanced biopharma training

SP Scientific Products (SP), a provider of fill-finish drug manufacturing services, is collaborating with the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) in Dublin, Ireland, to install a modular multi-container filling line and isolation system to further augment training offerings in aseptic biopharma fill-finish operations.

NIBRT selected the SP i-Dositecno robotic filling and stoppering system for pre-sterilized vials, syringes, and cartridges in a nested format, as well as a vial capper, for its global center of excellence for training and research in bioprocessing. The system will be installed by Spring of 2022.

With the biopharma industry’s continuous moved toward drugs targeting smaller patient groups, such as highly targeted oncology therapeutics, personalized medicines and orphan drugs, NIBRT spotted the growing demand for advanced technology and robust aseptic manufacturing that is more efficient and cost-effective. Keeping this in mind, the institute provides hands-on training in an atmosphere that aims to replicate an industrial bioprocessing facility.
