Liposomes
As a drug delivery system, liposomes offer significant therapeutic benefits in terms of active ingredient targeting and controlled release. Hydrophobic moieties can be dissolved into the liposome membrane — a lipid bilayer — and, as such, they can be used to carry both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules.
To deliver molecules to sites of action, the liposome binds and fuses with other bilayers, such as a cell membrane, thus delivering its contents. By making liposomes in a drug solution (which would not normally be able to penetrate the membrane), they can be (indiscriminately) delivered through the lipid bilayer into the cell interior.
High-pressure homogenization is an ideal liposome production method, offering excellent results in terms of reduced vesicle diameters. Further, a wide range of different sizes and distributions can be achieved by altering the applied pressure and the number of passes through the homogenizer.
A wide range of products, including liposomes, can be freeze dried to retain their original properties. By adding water or other solvents, they can be reconstituted easily and very quickly to a usable solution. There is no need for cooling during storage, which is both cost-effective and makes handling easier.
GEA specializes in the design and manufacture of freeze dryers for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and has an in-depth knowledge of lyophilization technology.

Afsluitkleppen
Aseptische afsluitkleppen met enkele zitting worden gebruikt voor het gecontroleerd openen en sluiten van pijplijnen in UltraClean- en aseptische verwerkingsinstallaties.
Analytische, in-line besturings- & meetapparatuur
Door procesbewaking met behulp van online analysesystemen te combineren met vaste principes van procesengineering en geavanceerde procesmodelleringstechnieken, kunnen processen actief bestuurd worden om invoervariaties te compenseren.
Aseptisch piggingsysteem
Met een aseptisch piggingsysteem kunnen waardevolle producten uit de productleiding worden teruggewonnen. Aangedreven door steriel water of perslucht duwt de 'pig' het product uit de leiding. De achterblijvende productresten aan de binnenkant van de productleiding kan vervolgens via CIP worden verwijderd.
Bemonsteringskleppen
Aseptische bemonsteringskleppen worden gebruikt voor veilige monstername in UltraClean- en aseptische verwerkingsinstallaties
