Includes a Class 100,000 cleanroom


US contract packaging company American Empire Manufacturing has doubled the size of its Illinois-based manufacturing facility to meet increased demand for its services among companies operating in the healthcare, dental, veterinary and cosmetic industries.

According to Chief Operations Officer, Joseph Trznadel, the 10,000ft2 clean suite allows American Empire Manufacturing to integrate additional liquid filling lines, a prototype lab and three labelling machines, which will take approximately 30–60 days to get operational.

In addition to new machinery and process controls, the cGMP/cGDP compliant facility has already been outfitted with energy efficient T-8 lighting, epoxy finish floors and an ISO 8/Class 100,000 cleanroom. By year's end, the company hopes to have the facilities ISO 13485 certified.

    Particulates in parenterals Particulate matter is a key indicator of quality for injectable drug products. Test methods are being improved with the intent to find the materials responsible for the particle(s). The desired goal of zero defects is not a workable acceptance criterion for visible particulate matter because of current packaging components and processing capabilities. The value of vision inspection systems for elastomeric primary components is shown to mitigate the risk of particulates in finished parenteral drug products.
