A compact centrifuge skid for pharma pilot testing
The new Pathfinder GMP (photo) is a GMP-certified centrifuge skid pharma test centers and pilot plants. The system requires little space in the technical center and, thanks to its design, reliably fulfills even the most demanding technical tasks, says the manufacturer. Combined with technologies, such as the high-pressure PandaPlus 2000 homogenizer, it belongs to this company’s portfolio of biopharmaceutical manufacturing lines and equipment. The Pathfinder GMP is exceptionally easy to operate. The centrifuge delivers a force of 20,000 g, enabling reliable separation of the finest particles, even with slight density differences. Three bowl sizes are available for flowrates of 15–300 L/h. All parts that come into contact with the product are made of high-alloy stainless steel, 316L or better, with surface finish of 0.8 μm.
