Many pharmaceutical drugs are light-sensitive and may change their properties when exposed to normal light directly. Some impurities could develop during this alteration, and the product might fail a quality control check. A sodium vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that operates under an exciting condition...
In health care facilities, a novel low-temperature sterilization technology employs Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) to sanitize reusable metal and nonmetal instruments. Hydrogen peroxide vapor is used as a broad spectrum antimicrobial in the VHP sterilization device. It spreads VHP uniformly throughout the enclosure, making it...
In our previous articles, we spoke about the difference between RABS and Isolators and OEB and OEL Levels. Since we have got the basic understanding of how RABS are different from Isolators, we'll compare and contrast two of the most prevalent types of containment isolators: Flexible...
Personnel in pharmaceutical/ chemical manufacturing firms, particularly those who are exposed to a variety of chemicals, require safety while handling hazardous substances. There are a number of chemicals and substances that are extremely dangerous which are referred to as Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs). They have the potential to impact the operators’ health in numerous ways. Containment systems are an effective way for increasing safety and limiting or eliminating personnel exposure to harmful compounds. HPAPIs are classified into control bands (OEB) based on their potency, and occupational exposure limits (OEL) are used as a classification measure. Let's have a look. What exactly is OEL? Controlling exposure to...
