NEW AUTOMATED PRECISION POWDER DISPENSING SYSTEM
iroNex has announced a move into the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market with the launch of its Cube Plus automated precision powder dispensing system for use in manufacturing powder-filled capsules and vials for early phase clinical trials and related drug development studies. The new system has been specifically
G
developed to target a significant gap in the market between powder dispensing systems to help automate routine R&D laboratory ‘fill and weigh’ tasks, and high- volume pharmaceutical capsule-filling machines. The Cube Plus is a flexible and cost-effective batch manufacturing system with a compact footprint and full FDA CFR21 Part 11 compliance to ensure complete data integrity and security. The new system uses a 24-well dial
plate and can quickly dispense from one milligram to one gram of single or formulated pharmaceutical powders into each capsule with an accuracy better than +/-2%. It can be easily used by
companies such as contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) to prepare batches of a few hundred or thousand capsules as required, and can also be used to fill vials or syringes. “GiroNex has worked closely with a number of CDMOs to help guide the design and development of the Cube Plus system and to ensure it meets the pharmaceutical industry’s need for a flexible and reliable capsule-filling system for use in early clinical studies. The Cube Plus builds on the same core powder dispensing principles as the existing Cube system for lab R&D applications but has been designed with dedicated software and a graphical user interface for use in regulated production environments,” said
James Veale, product manager. The Cube Plus
features controlled user access levels and records all user details, capsule weights to the nearest microgram, and other information into secure electronic records to comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations for pharmaceutical manufacturing. GiroNex can also supply a package of validation documents for GMP
compliance at the customer’s premises. The GiroNex Cube and Cube Plus systems both fully exploit the cost and performance benefits of the firm’s precision powder dispensing technology, launched last year.
