Understanding Sterile: Sterility in the context of pharmaceuticals refers to the absence of all viable microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Achieving sterility is paramount to prevent contamination and ensure that medical products are free from any potentially harmful agents that could compromise patient safety. Processes such...
Glove boxes, also known as isolation chambers or controlled atmosphere enclosures, are essential tools in various industries, including battery research and development. They provide a controlled environment with low levels of moisture and oxygen, allowing researchers and manufacturers to work with sensitive materials, such as...
In the realm of pharmaceuticals, precision and safety are paramount. One critical process that underscores this principle is compounding aseptic containment. To achieve impeccable sterility and minimize the risk of contamination, the compounding aseptic containment isolator stands as a cornerstone technology. In this blog post,...
Continuous development and integration of research findings and practical experiences are crucial for establishing standardized descriptions of cleanroom technology processes and specifications. The ISO standard family 14644 and VDI 2083 series of guidelines are widely used in this field. Classifying cleanrooms based on criteria, requirements,...
Fume hoods and biosafety cabinets are two examples of lab equipment that may purify the air in the work area and rid it of toxic compounds, allowing lab staff to handle hazardous materials without being concerned about contamination. They are both well known in the...
VHP decontamination systems are becoming increasingly important as regulators turn their focus away from the frequently used Steam and Dry Heat Sterilization methods in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and bio-burden. The VHP Passbox is used to introduce materials into the sterile area that...
Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS) is a rigid barrier consisting of transparent walls (polycarbonate or glass) and outfitted with a suitable number of glove flanges and gloves. They utilize a mix of physical and aerodynamic barriers to prevent contaminants from entering the interior environment. RABs have...
In recent years, isolation technology has advanced considerably. The technique is being used in the pharmaceutical business to improve the sterility assurance levels of aseptic products, but it is also finding a place in the medical device industry. Isolators can be specially designed and manufactured...
Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) and Isolators are two examples of containment cabinets frequently used in the pharmaceutical sector. These two tools were developed to protect lab personnel from breathing in hazardous substances and to stop contagious microorganisms from spreading across the workspace. Isolator: The aseptic containment isolator...
It ought to be obvious saying that in order to reduce the danger of infection, microbial cultures must be handled carefully. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the meaning of every terminology used in the explanation of safety measures. ‘Sterilized and Aseptic’ are two of these...
