Gericke’s Sampling Valve for quality assurance in OSD Production
ericke’s innovative sampling valve GSV plays a crucial role in continuous manufacturing processes of oral solid dosage (OSD) forms
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the quality of oral solid dosage (OSD) forms is paramount. Gericke’s innovative sampling valve GSV plays a crucial role in continuous manufacturing processes, providing precise and reliable quality assurance.
The Gericke sampling valve is designed to meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical production. It allows for accurate sampling of materials during the manufacturing process, ensuring that each batch meets the highest quality standards. Uniquely, it is the only sampler on the market capable of taking a representative sample from a material flow, ensuring that the entire cross-section is sampled. This is essential for maintaining product consistency and safety, reducing the risk of drug shortages, and optimizing development times.
Key features of the sampling valve GSV include precision, which ensures accurate and representative sampling to meet quality standards before further processing. The sampler seamlessly integrates with continuous manufacturing systems, allowing for automated sampling without production interruptions. It is fully cGMP compliant, designed for fast cleaning and product changeover. The adjustable sampling size meets unit dose requirements, minimizing material waste. The sampling valve is versatile, suitable for various oral solid dosage forms, providing a simple, safe, and effective solution. Additionally, it is suitable for high containment applications with a Wash-in-Place WIP option for safe dismantling.
The Gericke sampling valve is part of a broader portfolio of equipment designed to support continuous manufacturing. Integrated and automated into the Gericke Formulation Skid (GFS), it fits with high-precision loss-in-weight feeders and compact blenders, all engineered to work seamlessly together. These components are available for testing at Gericke’s global test centers or can be rented for on-site trials, providing flexibility and convenience for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
By incorporating Gericke’s sampling valve into their production lines, manufacturers can achieve superior quality assurance, ensuring that every dose of medication is safe, effective, and consistent. This commitment to quality helps to build trust with healthcare providers and patients, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes.
Gericke’s global network of companies and local partners provides comprehensive support, ensuring that customers can fully leverage the benefits of continuous manufacturing technology. With Gericke’s sampling valve, the future of pharmaceutical production is more efficient, reliable, and high-quality.
