PDA Site Visit at SKAN 2025
Become a Sponsor and/or Exhibitor
Dear Colleague,
The PDA Good Aseptic Manufacturing Conference 2025 will take place from 22-23 May 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Ahead of the conference, an additional optional site visit at SKAN facility Allschwil/Basel will take place on 21 May 2025.
Specifically for this event, you will have the option to choose between a digital focused part or an aseptic focused part.
Digital Part: Securing the Future: XR & CFD for Advanced Compliance in Isolator Design
For decades, aseptic process designs for isolators have relied on a mix of 3D CAD tools and physical mock-ups. With advancements in digital technologies such as virtual reality (VR), software modeling, spatial recognition tools, and 3D printing, a new era of precision and flexibility has emerged. XR (Extended Reality) solutions are now setting a new standard in aseptic process equipment engineering.
During this workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to test innovative new VR technology, ensuring optimal process robustness and compliance.
CFD plays a critical role in optimizing aseptic processes, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and operational reliability. By simulating airflow, particle dynamics, and decontamination agent distribution, CFD enables precise validation and enhancement of isolator designs and cleanroom environments.
- Airflow Optimization: Validating unidirectional flow, minimizing turbulence, and ensuring particulate control.
- Contamination Mitigation: Identifying high-risk zones and modeling particle dynamics.
- Decontamination Efficiency: Optimizing nozzle placement for uniform agent distribution and effective sterilization.
- Compliance Assurance: Providing GMP-compliant validation through precise simulations.
Aseptic Part: Behind the Scenes at SKAN: E-Beam Processing & Isolator Manufacturing
The transfer of Ready-to-Use (RTU) materials into critical zones, such as Grade A for aseptic filling, is one of the most significant sources of potential contamination.
According to Annex 1 (4.10 & 4.11), where possible, items should be sterilized and transferred directly into Grade A environments. e-beam technology ensures a reliable, validatable, and reproducible surface sterilization process for RTU syringes, cartridges, and vials during the transfer to critical zones.
- The fundamentals of e-beam technology
- The transfer process & its validation
- A live demonstration on physical e-beam units for small-scale and high-speed filling in the SKAN workshop
Take a guided tour through SKAN’s assembly hall and experience the different stages of isolator manufacturing.
Join us for this special event and secure your seat today. Don’t waste too much time, the number of seats is limited.
We look forward to welcoming you in Allschwil.
Sincerely,
The Co-Chairs
Simone Biel, Merck
David Keen, Ecolab
