How Automated Robotic Technology in aseptic filling can solve sterility issues and much more
1:00pm EDT

AST VP of Business Development Matthew Gorton will provide an analysis of the issues that are driving compounding facilities to invest in automation. The Pharmaceutical Industry has been leveraging automation and robots for years, and there is a growing need for compounding pharmacies to follow this path to ensure sterility and minimize compounding errors based on the recurring issues with recalls and sterility.

Leveraging an automated system to perform error prone and somewhat risky tasks such as aseptic filling of your sterile products, can have a big impact on your patients as well as your bottom line.

Modern systems are often integrated with electronic records which collects information/ data on production and environmental monitoring to help support their compliance to the updated USP 797 regulations.
