Organisation Index term Non-destructive particle counting – ten23 health and Bionter collaborate to improve testing of particulates in sterile products. ten23 health, a global contract development and manufacturing organization, and Bionter, a premium supplier of analytical testing technology, announced today their collaboration to advance innovative testing methods of particulate matter. > Bionter has launched EVE, a fully automated particle testing system, to assess sub-visible particulate contamination for parenteral drug applications based on light obscuration. > ten23 health has been running customer samples on an EVE system and is also acting as an application center for Bionter. > Due to the non-destructive nature of Bionter’s EVE particle testing equipment, the same sample can be further analyzed with orthogonal analyzing methods whilst minimizing sample volume needed. > The Bionter installation complements ten23 health’s comprehensive method and equipment panel for the characterization and assessment of aggregates and particulates, including light obscuration, automated flow imaging, nano-tracking analysis (NTA), Dynamic or Static light scattering stand-alone or coupled with chromatographic separation techniques, as well as identification of visible particles by spectroscopic methods. Dr. Björn Boll, Senior Director for Particle Characterization and Drug Product Design at ten23 health commented: “We are excited to offer this new technology to our customers. It offers several advantages over established methods that could improve workflows due to automation and reduction of sample consumption.” Dr. Tobias Werk, CEO of Bionter, stated: “We strive to develop innovative solutions for our customers.
