The partnership will further enhance GEA’s ConsiGma® platform for oral solid dose (OSD) pharmaceutical development and manufacturing by offering Perceptive’s “out of the box” APC and monitoring capabilities. The continuous monitoring of product quality can prevent out-of-specification deviations and decrease production costs, as well as reducing final quality inspections by facilitating real-time release testing.

Address the time-to-result challenge posed by short shelf-life radiopharmaceuticals.

20 November 2025 | 3:00 PM GMT | FREE Virtual Panel Discussion

This webinar showcases the Growth Direct System; an RMM (Rapid Microbial Method) that improves on traditional membrane filtration, delivering increased accuracy, a faster time to result, enhanced data integrity compliance, and more control over the manufacturing process.

Key learning points:

  • Understand the benefits of full workflow microbiology quality control testing automation in radiopharmaceutical production
  • Learn about ITM’s implementation journey and considerations when evaluating the technology
  • Find out how the advanced optics and microcolony detection capabilities of Growth Direct® technology impact time to result (TTR).

The partnership builds on the successful implementation of Perceptive’s APC platform into the first-generation PCMM (portable, continuous, miniature and modular) platform for the development and production of pharmaceutical OSDs. Originally conceived in conjunction with Pfizer and G-CON, the three companies formed a consortium to design and build a portable, autonomous manufacturing environment for continuous OSD production using GEA’s ConsiGma® 25 equipment and G-CON’s modular POD system. A prototype unit is currently being implemented at Pfizer’s labs in Groton (Connecticut, USA).

This collaboration also builds on the previously announced relationship between GEA and Siemens, as well as the existing association between Siemens and Perceptive. Together, this provides a leading-edge, industrially proven solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers, comprising both hardware and software platforms, as well as PAT integration, process monitoring, process analytics, control and optimisation. This complete, seamless suite is designed to help pharma companies exploit the opportunities presented by moving to continuous manufacturing.
