LYON, France, Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Novasep launches Senefill, a unit dedicated to Fill & Finish aseptic commercial operations in Seneffe, Belgium. With a full state-of-the-art facility, Senefill will provide standalone Fill & Finish services as well as integrated drug product manufacturing, from formulation to packaging.

 

 

Senefill is a 1800m² (19,000 sqf) unit, with a 400m² (4,300 sqf) area dedicated to the filling of a wide range of biological products: viral vectors, viruses, monoclonal antibodies and other biologics. These operations will support key biopharmaceutical markets for Novasep and its clients: cell and gene therapies, oncology, vaccination and other innovative therapies.   

This Fill & Finish unit features state-of-the-art semi-automatic and automatic liquid filling machines under isolator and can deliver up to 10,000 vials per session, with 2 to 3 sessions per week. Quality Control and visual inspections will be carried out by highly qualified technicians.

Senefill is part of Senrise-IV, Novasep’s flagship for the manufacturing of commercial viral vectors. This unique configuration makes it possible to have both production and Fill & Finish operations on the same site and guarantees the highest reliability and performance of our manufacturing services to secure the supply of much needed innovative therapies.

Senefill also provides meeting rooms and visit zones from where visitors can observe Fill & Finish operations.

At full strength, a team of 24 people will operate this unit,” said Pierre Lunel, Director of the Belgian site.
