Moving to Closed Systems for Aseptic Processing
Alternatives to time-consuming, error-prone operations promise to reduce vaccine manufacturing costs and improve facility flexibility.
As the authors write, true sterile manufacturing remains an impossible ideal. In the real world, even the slightest contact with operators can contaminate product.
