Werfen has reduced its fill-finish time by approximately 40% by using a Flexicon FlexFeed 30 (FF30) semi-automatic tabletop bottle-handling and capping machine at its Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, facility.
The company uses the FF30 alongside a PF6 peristaltic filler with Accusil tubing from Flexicon Liquid Filling, part of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, to produce its vialed blood-banking reagents.
Werfen has recently upgraded its system, replacing the PF6 with the newer PF7 peristaltic filler model.
Werfen specialises in diagnostics for haemostasis, acute care, transfusion, autoimmunity and transplant.
Its product line comprises in vitro diagnostic systems, reagents, information management and service solutions used to diagnose and guide treatment of thrombotic and bleeding disorders.
