As a pharmaceutical manufacturer, you process a wide range of active ingredients and packaging materials, from liquid and viscous to high-potency, in syringes, vials or cartridges. We have launched OPTIMA MultiUse to give you total flexibility for all your filling needs. The system profile covers all your applications from product and process development in R&D to clinical trials and commercial production - quickly and economically.

Filling flexibility – with MultiUse systems from OPTIMA

The pharmaceuticals market is diverse and fast-paced. Your production will stay on track with MultiUse systems from Optima Pharma: You can process different batch sizes, packaging and containers flexibly and cost-effectively. The system covers all performance requirements. It is designed to handle different product characteristics including liquid, viscous and freeze-dried products.


As a turnkey partner we integrate all process steps upon request, including isolators and freeze dryers. And with our CSPE process, we get your MultiUse system up and running in record time. CSPE means „Comprehensive Scientific Process Engineering“ and it speeds up your system's development and assembly. Select total flexibility for your sterile filling process - with the Optima MultiUse system.

Pharmaceutical MultiUse solution
1. Bulk path
Vials are brought to the dosing station via a bulk path

Vials that are not pre-sterilized arrive at the dosing station from the washing machine and the sterilization tunnel.

2. Ready-To-Use path
MultiUse plant

Pre-sterilized syringes, cartridges and vials in nests or trays arrive at the same filling station using the RTU path.

3. Freeze-drying
loading vials into a lyophilizator

Can be integrated and completed with a crimping station.

4. Isolator

In order to perform the integrated Factory Acceptance Test, we assemble your entire system on our premises and perform cycle development. This ensures a safe production start in record time.

Many possibilities – one system

To ensure handling of all your products and containers using a MultiUse system, we focus on total flexibility, starting with the design stage: Multiple processing options mean maximum variability. The CSPE engineering process is particularly beneficial when combining processes that are different. See for yourself.

For R&D, clinical studies or commercial production
The MultiUse portfolio for your complete production life cycle

Cover all your applications and performance requirements with our MultiUse portfolio: From R&D product and process developments to clinical trial phases, for small, medium and large batch sizes. This means identical functions and validated processes scaled and applied for any application and output. Maximum flexibility, filling accuracy, and product yield always remain consistent.

MultiUse pharmaceutical solutionMultiUse pharmaceutical solution
MultiUse Lab System The laboratory solution

For trials, stabilization tests and more: The MultiUse version used in laboratories is designed to handle batch sizes up to 2,000 objects. This reduces the burden on your production equipment and simplifies  the development. The footprint remains minimal, even with an integrated isolator. Good to know: All processes developed can be transferred on a 1:1 basis to a larger MultiUse production line.
