Containment Isolators: Ensuring Operator and Environmental Safety

Containment Isolators are critical pieces of equipment designed to protect operators and the environment from hazardous materials during pharmaceutical manufacturing, research, and other sensitive operations. These sophisticated systems provide a controlled environment for handling highly potent compounds (HPCs), cytotoxic drugs, and other materials requiring strict containment. Our range of isolators offers a variety of configurations and features to meet diverse application needs and regulatory requirements.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior Containment: Achieve a high level of containment (typically OEL < 1 ng/m³ depending on the design and operation) through a combination of HEPA filtration, specialized glove systems, and robust construction. Our isolators are designed and tested to meet stringent standards like OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) requirements.
• Operator Protection: Completely isolate operators from hazardous materials, minimizing the risk of exposure and ensuring workplace safety. This protection extends to inhalation, dermal contact, and accidental spills.
• Environmental Protection: Prevent the release of hazardous materials into the surrounding environment, protecting both personnel in adjacent areas and the wider ecosystem.
• Process Flexibility: Available in a variety of configurations to accommodate various processes, including weighing, dispensing, compounding, and aseptic transfer. Customizable designs cater to specific client needs.
• Ergonomic Design: Our isolators are designed with operator comfort and efficiency in mind, featuring ergonomic glove ports, easy-to-use controls, and clear viewing windows for improved visibility.
• Material Compatibility: Constructed from high-quality, durable materials selected for their chemical resistance and ability to withstand sterilization processes. We offer a range of materials to suit specific applications, including stainless steel and specialized polymers.
• Validation and Compliance: All our isolators are designed for easy validation and compliance with relevant regulatory standards, including GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices), and USP <797> and <800>. Comprehensive documentation and support are provided.
• Advanced Monitoring and Control: Integrated monitoring systems provide real-time data on pressure, temperature, and other critical parameters, ensuring consistent and reliable operation. Advanced control systems allow for precise manipulation of the isolator environment.
• Decontamination: Easy-to-clean and decontaminate surfaces simplify maintenance and ensure consistent sterility. Multiple decontamination options are available, including vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP), gaseous sterilization, and other methods depending on the isolator design.
• Customizable Solutions: Our team collaborates with clients to develop tailored isolator solutions that meet specific requirements and budget constraints. From selecting the appropriate containment level to integrating custom equipment, we provide a complete and customized service.

Applications:

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Handling cytotoxic drugs, APIs, and other hazardous materials.
• Research and Development: Protecting researchers from hazardous chemicals and biological agents.
• Hospital Pharmacies: Safe preparation and dispensing of chemotherapy drugs.
• Biotechnology: Handling infectious agents and other biohazardous materials.

Types of Containment Isolators Offered:

• RABS (Restricted Access Barrier Systems): Offering varying degrees of containment depending on the configuration.
• High-Containment Isolators: Designed for handling the most hazardous materials with extremely low OELs.
• Powder Containment Isolators: Specifically designed for handling powders and minimizing particulate release.
• Liquid Containment Isolators: Optimized for handling liquid compounds.
• Aseptic Isolators: For the safe preparation of sterile products.
