Sharp Clinical Services increased its capability to fill capsules for the pharmaceutical industry with the acquisition of MG America’s Planeta 50 continuous capsule filling machine.

Sharp Clinical Services serves the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with clinical trial materials support, services, and project management, from pre-formulation to global logistics and distribution. Sharp Clinical Services is a division of Sharp Packaging Services, a UDG Healthcare company.

The Planeta 50 can fill capsules with powder, pellets, tablets, or micro-tablets at a rate of up to 50,000 capsules/hr, as well as offering an in-process weight control system.

By adding the Planeta 50 to its other means of encapsulation, Sharp can now fill capsules ranging from a few hundred (for preclinical or early Phase 1 studies) to hundreds of thousands of capsules (for larger-scale Phase 3 studies and beyond).
