Azelis strikes contract filling service deal with MP Biomedicals
Azelis has announced a new contract filling agreement with MP Biomedicals. Under the terms, Azelis will fill different sizes and combinations of raw material spheres into centrifuge tubes, at its pharmaceutical warehouse complex in Krefeld, Germany. This service will be done via Azelis for a leading diagnostic company on behalf of MP Biomedicals. The spheres are used as lysing matrices for the isolation of DNA, RNA or proteins from difficult tissue samples and along with the tubes, are supplied by MP Biomedicals.
Controlled, certified filling takes place within a cleanroom class D area under GMP conditions. Azelis commissioned a new, automatic, high-speed weighing and filling machine customised to MP Biomedicals’ requirements, to deliver an optimal certified DNase and RNase-free filling service to customers.
Michael Thomson, Azelis regional managing director DACH, stated: “We are pleased that MP Biomedicals has chosen us to partner them in the safe and secure supply of their Lysing Matrices. Our set up, equipment and skilled staff provide a high-quality, value-added service for all concerned.”
One of a number of Azelis’ specialist sites for pharmaceuticals, Krefeld has been certified GMP and GDP since 2008. In addition to filling and re-filling, the qualified, temperature-controlled ambient and cold store pharmaceutical warehouse has a capacity of 1,500 m2, with more than 1,000 pallet spaces. Azelis is ready to offer customised filling, re-filling and re-packaging to other customers as well.
