This industry prioritizes sterile manufacturing, precise dosing, and contamination-free processes for products such as vaccines, ointments, and creams. Equipment must meet stringent regulations (e.g., USP Class VI, FDA) and support clean-in-place/sterilize-in-place (CIP/SIP) protocols to maintain aseptic conditions.
Common issues include particle generation from equipment, dead zones in piping, and challenges in handling high-value or sensitive formulations. Products must ensure zero leakage, minimal shear stress, and material compatibility with aggressive chemicals or solvents.
Donjoy's diaphragm valves (GM series) provide dead-leg-free flow for sterile applications, while sinusoidal pumps offer low-shear transfer for delicate formulations. All wetted parts comply with FDA 177.2600 standards, and valves feature EP-grade surface finishes (if required) to meet pharmaceutical hygiene requirements.
