The replacement of traditional monitoring with bio-fluorescent particle counting systems provides an improvement in process understanding, product safety, and reduces operator manipulations assuring product quality and real-time process verification. The future state pharmaceutical technology roadmaps include gloveless isolators with real-time and continuous monitoring for aseptic manufacturing.
