For implementing manufacturing, filling and closing processes, barrier technologies currently are the most commonly used technologies for regulated markets such as Europe, United States, and Japan. Whether existing clean rooms are operated with new or upgraded filling and packaging technology or if the enterprise makes investments in completely new manufacturing processes, including sterile and barrier technologies, a universe of options is available to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
