Will fill centrifuge tubes with raw material spheres at pharma complex in Krefeld, Germany

Azelis has agreed a filling contract with MP Biomedicals in which the global chemical distributor will fill different sizes and combinations of raw material spheres into centrifuge tubes, at its pharma warehouse complex in Krefeld, Germany.

This service will be carried out for a leading diagnostic company on behalf of MP Biomedicals, a manufacturer of life sciences and diagnostic products which is headquartered in Southern California in the US. The spheres are used as lysing matrices for the isolation of DNA, RNA, or proteins from difficult tissue samples and along with the tubes, are supplied by MP Biomedicals.

Controlled, certified filling will take place within a class D cleanroom area under GMP conditions. Azelis commissioned a new automatic, high-speed weighing and filling machine customised to MP Biomedicals’ requirements, to deliver an optimal certified DNase and RNase-free filling service to customers.

One of a number of Azelis’ specialist sites for pharmaceuticals, Krefeld has been certified GMP and GDP since 2008. In addition to filling and re-filling, the qualified, temperature-controlled ambient and cold store pharma warehouse has a capacity of 1,500m2 with more than 1,000 pallet spaces.

Azelis says it is also ready to offer bespoke filling, re-filling and re-packaging to other customers.
