  • Learn how robust in-house analytical services and protein characterization are crucial for successful development and manufacturing programs.

  • The Optical Thickness Gauge products use the unique properties of light to measure the thickness of transparent and semi-transparent materials while directing light through an optical probe.

  • Edge Blackening is the application of a matte black paint to the edges of an optical filter to prevent stray light inside the filter from re-entering the light path outside the filter.

  • When AST came to the table on the design for our new fill-finish isolator, one of the first areas AST engineers wanted to address was the usability and accessibility of the isolator and corresponding operations. With our customers’ point of view in mind, we wanted to address specific points of friction routinely encountered by operators and closely examine whether those friction points were necessary.

    Does an isolator need to be ergonomically unfriendly to clean?

    Should simple mechanisms like isolator doors be challenging to engage? (As much as one can appreciate exercise, no one wants to do “arm day” in cleanroom coveralls).

    Does routine maintenance have to be time-consuming and laborious?

    Many of these factors are accepted as par for the course in aseptic fill-finish manufacturing. Our question was, why?

  • Understanding the fine details of powder properties is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, where the behavior of particulate matter can affect manufacturability and the efficacy of the final product.
