Overview

This course provides an introductory overview of aseptic processing using isolator technology. Offered as a blend of theoretical content and practical modules on isolator systems, it is based on CASTL’s Introduction to Fill-Finish course and focuses on the use of isolator technology.

This course is offered exclusively at our Richmond (BC) and Montreal (QC) training facilities. Course content can be customized to meet your training needs.

Why It’s Essential

• Builds foundational understanding of aseptic filling practices in isolators critical to sterile drug manufacturing

• Strengthens knowledge of contamination control and environmental monitoring, helping to ensure product sterility and patient safety

• Teaches key filter integrity and filling system operation skills, supporting compliant and reliable production

• Provides hands-on experience with isolators, including decontamination cycles, glove integrity testing, and media fills, to develop practical competency

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate an increased proficiency of techniques and skills relating to aseptic processing in filling activities

• Evaluate environmental monitoring programs to collect appropriate data, identify and interpret trends

• Describe the importance of filter integrity testing when filtering water, gases or proteinaceous solutions

• Develop robust media fill protocols including appropriate interventions, observation and documentation procedures

• Discuss finished product testing requirements

• Correlate basic microbiology concepts and techniques to multiple aspects of aseptic processing

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for fill-finish workers looking to learn and enhance their knowledge about operations in a modern biomanufacturing plant. The hands-on training will demonstrate the filling process and discuss engineering or quality aspects that are relevant to operators, engineers, or quality specialists.

Participants who successfully complete a theoretical assessment will receive a certificate of completion.
