Pharmaceutical formulation and bioprocessing for GMP scale
Handle shifting batch sizes and strict sterile requirements with modular formulation and bioprocessing systems
De-risk pharmaceutical formulation projects from clinical to commercial scale
Pharmaceutical formulation and bioprocessing must deliver SVP, LVP, buffers and media across shifting products and batch sizes. Syntegon combines modular systems, automation and lifecycle services so you manage rising complexity, support GMP needs and scale capacity with confidence
Pharmaceutical formulation: flexible batches, modular rooms, clear interfaces
How to handle shifting batch sizes in pharmaceutical formulation?
Frequent product changes and batch sizes from 15 to 20,000 liters strain existing room concepts. Engineering and QA spend time reconciling layouts, cleanroom classes and documentation.
Syntegon supports you in structuring URS, batch ranges and product families so room concepts scale from clinical to commercial. This reduces redesign effort in later phases and keeps timelines and qualification effort under control.
How to minimize product loss in automated bioprocessing?
High value parenterals lose yield at every mixing, transfer and filtration step, especially in short campaigns with complex recipes. Manual interventions and non standard filtration concepts increase the risk of deviations during audits.
Syntegon modular systems combine optimized mixing, low hold up transfer paths and integrated filter stations to stabilize critical steps. You reduce avoidable product loss, run batches more consistently and spend less time on rework and investigation.
How to ensure safe, integrated pharmaceutical formulation lines?
Operators, maintenance and QA face different look and feel, cleaning concepts and reports on every skid. This increases training time, troubleshooting effort and audit workload.
Syntegon platforms standardize CIP/SIP coverage, recipes, user interfaces and batch reports and provide lifecycle service, training and remote support. You run lines more consistently, prepare inspections with confidence and use CFR Part 11 capable automation to help meet applicable regulations.

Formulation systems that standardize SVP, FPP and filter testing
50 to 1000 L SVP batches on one modular system
SVP formulation handles GMP batches from 50 to 1000 L on one modular platform. Standard modules support single and multiproduct plants so you can:
- Scale capacity across products
- Align batch sizes without adding new lines
- Reuse standard modules across products
- Shorten engineering effort and qualification time
Parallel production and cleaning with Flexible Process Platform
FPP separates COP/SOP cleaning from production so critical steps move out of the cleanroom.
- You run formulation and cleaning in parallel and reduce cleanroom space use and failure risk
- Minimize cleanroom footprint
- Lower upfront capital investment
- Support Annex 1-focused production concepts
Four automated filter tests for sterile formulation lines
The Filter Integrity Tester runs bubble point, water intrusion, pressure hold and leak tests on critical filters.
- Automated sequences and electronic reports support CFR Part 11 expectations and reduce operator influence on test results
- Standardize filter integrity tests across lines
- Simplify CFR Part 11 documentation for QA
- Integrate with Syntegon and third-party equipment
Janssen Vaccines gains flexible filling and higher output
To transfer EU processes to Korea, Janssen Vaccines worked with Syntegon to add 600 and 150 L tanks, adjust batch sizes and increase output per shift.
Thanks to the immediate intervention by the Syntegon service team, we were
able to keep production running – and much more.

Frequently asked questions
Parenteral pharmaceutical formulation turns an active pharmaceutical ingredient into a sterile injectable medicine by dissolving, mixing and filtering it under controlled, germ free conditions. Syntegon SVP and LVP systems provide vessels, mixers, sterile filters and integrated CIP and SIP loops as modular building blocks for this process.
Yes. SVP and LVP platforms use standardized functional modules that we combine for your dosage form, recipe and batch size. You can process small and large volume parenteral, buffers and media in flexible vessel configurations from small clinical to large commercial batches.
The automation architecture follows ISA 88 and is a core element of our modular concept. Recipes can run as program, production or batch sequences, which gives high flexibility in monitoring and control.
Mechanics, electronics and software work as mechatronic modules, so changes or extensions remain manageable over the lifecycle.
Syntegon covers pure media generation, SVP and LVP formulation, CIP and SIP, pure steam and final filling in one portfolio. We design plant layout, piping and interfaces together, using pretested connections and harmonized HMIs. This reduces project risk and supports consistent data flow from utilities to filling.
The Flexible Process Platform separates time intensive cleaning and sterilizing from formulation on a dedicated COP and SOP skid and uses mobile vessels and filter skids. Parallel production and cleaning become possible and intelligent modules and interfaces help reduce failure risk in Annex 1 focused setups.
Syntegon offers integrated Filter Integrity Test modules and performance skids that are Annex 1 focused and PUPSIT capable. They run Bubble Point, Water Intrusion, Pressure Hold and Leak Tests in automated sequences with audit trails, which reduces manual work and supports data integrity for sterile filtration.
Syntegon and Pharmatec provide modular GMP fermentation skids and a modular bioprocessing platform for clinical and commercial production.
Pre configured systems with 100 to 1,000 liter fermenters and integrated upstream and downstream steps support fast scale up and automated operation for cell culture, harvesting and purification.
SVP, LVP and bioprocessing systems use modular hardware, optimized piping and integrated filtration to minimize hold up volumes and product loss.
CIP and SIP recirculation, efficient cleaning media usage and energy optimized pure steam upgrades help lower operating costs and reduce the carbon footprint of formulation plants.
Syntegon service includes inspection, maintenance, calibration, field service and requalification for pure media and formulation equipment.
Teams provide troubleshooting, spare parts planning and upgrades such as HMI modernization. Tailored operator training sessions help your staff run and maintain SVP, LVP and utilities safely and efficiently.
