As your strategic lifecycle partner, Syntegon helps you evaluate processing, fill-finish and packaging concepts to protect sensitive products and define the right line concept.

Lower risk, more agility, better product protection

How to strengthen aseptic control in vaccine filling?

Reduce contamination risk with barrier-based fill-finish concepts.

How to stay agile across changing vial formats?

Maintain productivity across different vial formats and batch sizes.

How to protect sensitive vaccines during fill-finish?

Protect sensitive products with controlled filling conditions and gentle handling.

How vaccine manufacturing connects across the line

blutplasma-hotspot

Start with the right formulation setup

Upstream decisions shape later flexibility. Syntegon connects formulation, storage and transfer concepts so teams can compare batch setups such as 150 l and 600 l and supply vial filling with fewer process interruptions.

Build contamination control into fill-finish

Barrier strategy defines sterile operations. Syntegon helps compare isolator lines and RABS upgrade concepts, including integrated 100% in-process control and contained transfer points.

Protect sensitive products during cold filling

Sensitive vaccine products require stable conditions from thawing to closure. Syntegon defines low-humidity isolator concepts that enable filling at 2 to 8 °C and helps protect active substance integrity.

Keep capacity available across vial formats

Portfolio shifts should not leave line capacity unused. Syntegon plans for fast format changes, multi-format vial handling and retrofit paths that adapt existing lines to new vaccine requirements.

Use parallel processes to keep output moving

Freeze-drying can tie up capacity for days. Syntegon designs line concepts that keep liquid filling productive in parallel and where the application fits, can reach up to 600 vials per minute

Connect inspection, cleaning and downstream steps early

Line performance depends on more than filling alone. Syntegon helps align outside washing, inspection and packaging interfaces early so the full concept works as one integrated system.

Case Study

IDT Biologika scales high-speed vaccine vial filling

To quickly expand vaccine and biologics capacity , IDT Biologika installed a new high-speed isolator line with 100% in-process control. The line reaches 80 to 100 million 2R vials per year, with batch sizes up to 500,000 containers.

Aspen expands vaccine filling in less than 6 months

When a new vaccine opportunity emerged, Aspen adapted an existing fill-finish line with Syntegon support instead of starting from scratch. The retrofit was completed in less than 6 months and vaccine filling now runs 24/7 in Gqeberha.

Case Study

AJ Vaccines upgrades aseptic filling without full replacement

To respond to Annex 1 pressure, AJ Vaccines chose a RABS upgrade for an installed vial filling machine instead of replacing the full line. The project added RTU filling paths, glove-port access, and a stronger barrier concept while preserving asset value.

Frequently asked questions

It can cover the full path from formulation and storage to aseptic fill-finish, inspection and packaging. On this page, the focus is on how these steps connect into a practical line concept for vaccine production.

That depends on your product, intervention strategy, installed base and contamination control targets. For some sites, a new isolator line is the right fit. For others, upgrading an existing vial filler with RABS can be the more practical path.

Flexibility starts with line layout, format strategy and transfer design. Fast format changes, multi-format vial handling, single-use interfaces and batch setups linked to vial filling can keep capacity available as product demand shifts.

Sensitive products often require controlled conditions during thawing, transfer and filling. Documented examples include reduced humidity inside the isolator and cold filling at 2 to 8 °C to help protect active substance integrity during the fill-finish window.

Yes, in some cases. One documented upgrade path added a passive open RABS, RTU filling paths and user-focused glove-port positioning to an installed machine instead of replacing the full line.

Services help determine how quickly a new or upgraded concept reaches stable operation. Qualification support, on-site technical expertise, retrofit planning and operator enablement can shorten ramp-up and reduce disruption during changeovers.
