NovAseptic has created a totally aseptic solution to mix volumes as small as 2 litres, whilst at the same time facilitating cleaning in place and eliminating the need to weld any component parts within the vessel bottom dished end Designing a production vessel for the mixing of small volume, high value liquid drug formulations is a challenging project for most pharmaceutical manufacturers and engineering design companies

Aseptic Sampling False Positives A Past Worry
Sampling to verify the acceptability of an aseptic pharmaceutical drug product has always been a procedure of ultimate importance relating to any validatable production process.
Magnetically Driven High Shear Mixer
NovAseptic, manufacturer of magnetically driven bottom mounted mixing systems have launched the industry's first magnetically driven, bottom mounted, high shear mixer.
Creating a vessel dished end with sufficient material space to incorporate the weld-in components such as a mixer tank plate and outlet valve body, usually means that the minimum vessel capacity starts somewhere in excess of 10 litres.
Product wastage has been an unwanted, but unavoidable consequence of the process.
Now this single piece dished end (incorporating magnetically driven mixer and outlet valve) is manufactured from a single piece of material (stainless steel, hasteloy or other materials upon request) and is completely drainable.
The diameter of the complete unit has a diameter of an amazing 160mm, making the vessel completely portable.
The complete dished end is supplied along with the mixer and valve top-works direct to the vessel manufacturer for a swift delivery execution.
All the standard NovAseptic mixer and valve options are available as part of the assembly.
NovAseptic claim that further savings are realised by elminating the need to weld, passivate and electropolish.
The unit is provided with a comprehensive range of documentation including Material Certificates for all product contact parts and Quality Control Release Documents.
NovAseptic has produced a special test unit to enable their pharmaceutical manufacturing customers to perform pre-validation studies on actual product formulations on site.
