An automated CFS 1500 C (containment) capsule filling and sealing system is now available from Capsugel, of Cambridge, UK, to provide rapid and safe filling and sealing of capsules containing lipid-based formulations or potent compounds for use in early phase clinical trials.

The CFS 1500 C, which uses Capsugel's Licaps drug delivery technology, offers many of the timesaving benefits of the established CFS 1200. Additionally, it has accessible moving parts, which can be removed for manual or auto washer cleaning.

The CFS 1500 C has a throughput of 1,500 filled and sealed capsules per hour and is scalable to commercial manufacturing using the LEMS 70 liquid encapsulation micro-spray sealing system, which is capable of sealing up to 70,000 capsules per hour.

With the LEMS 70 and Licaps capsules, the CFS 1500 C can fill and seal capsules with a robust, impervious seal.

New software provides the CFS 1500 C with greater functionality and a weigh cell feature measures the weight of each filled capsule to ensure compliance with 21 CFR part 11.
