The DP8 facility is the tenth operational drug product facility in WuXi Biologics' global network.
The single-use-system-based DP8 facility features SA25 robotic, sterile filling technology with two completely segregated filling lines, as well as an aseptic formulation isolator dedicated to the preparation of alum-adjuvanted vaccines.
