Small biopharma manufacturing outfits are often the driving force behind the proliferation of innovative medical treatments. GEA is revolutionizing cell harvesting capabilities for these manufacturers with perfusion separators that enable efficiency-optimized continuous processing. For the first time, suitable disk stack separators have been transformed into compact single-use machines saving space, labor and effort while paving the way for increased production output and speed.
From the first ConsiGma® line in 2004 to the launch of CDC Flex today, GEA has been at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation.
Continuous innovation is our commitment — to our customers, to the industry, and to a better world.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Domestic animal diseases often have a tremendous effect on local and global economies, as well as posing a potential threat to public health. Vaccines can serve as a powerful tool for combating transmission, but quality is key. To aid efforts that move us closer to a disease-free world, GEA provides equipment to assist in the complete production process of these high-quality vaccines.
Continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing is no longer a niche trend. It’s already happening. Although implementation and knowledge transfer can be time consuming, early adopters are embarking on a new trajectory of business excellence, benefiting from numerous competitive advantages and staying ahead of the market.
GEA, the globally active mechanical and plant engineering company, takes its role in the fight against the coronavirus — and any other — epidemic, extremely seriously. But how do we prove that a vaccine against the virus works: is it safe for children, the elderly and/or pregnant women? It will no doubt take some time to produce 7 billion doses, which is something that cannot be done overnight; but, first, we need to be sure that it works safely … for everyone!
When we consider the concept of health, we generally think about being free from injury or illness. We might look at a person’s mental or physical condition, or delve more deeply into nutrition, exercise, sleep and the environment we live in. In recent times, vaccines and medicines have taken center stage as the world battles the ongoing pandemic. Yet, often behind the scenes and anonymous, a vast array of technologies and innovations are working hard, every day, to ensure that the food, drugs, water and energy that we use to stay well are safe, reliable and sustainable. At the heart of many of those processes – and supporting healthy living – is GEA equipment.
