Eristimet ovat puhdasilmalaitteita, jotka tarjoavat täydellisen erotuksen aseptisen prosessin (vaarallinen/ei-vaarallinen), teknisen henkilöstön ja ympäröivän työympäristön välillä. Eristimiä käytetään yleensä sovelluksissa, jotka vaativat korkeatasoista suojaa ulkoisilta tekijöiltä tai epäpuhtauksilta, ja ne voivat toimia vaihtoehtoina vaativille puhdastiloille.
Eristimissä on tyypillisesti sisäänrakennetut ilmansuodatusjärjestelmät, jotka kykenevät merkittävästi alentamaan hiukkasmäärää suljetulla alueella. Eristimen sisätilan suhteellisen kompakti koko tekee sen puhdistamisesta helpompaa kaasu- tai höyrysterilointiaineilla. Eristimet voidaan konfiguroida joko ylipaineisiksi tai alipaineisiksi ympäröivään tilaan nähden sovelluksesta riippuen. Ylipaineiset eristimet tarjoavat tuotesuojaa epäpuhtauksia vastaan ja siten ylläpitävät steriiliyttä; kun taas alipaineiset eristimet puolestaan suojaavat henkilöstöä ja/tai ympäristöä pitämällä vaaralliset tai myrkylliset materiaalit eristimen sisällä.
Aseptic Isolators are critical for providing an isolated ISO Class 5/Grade A environment required for manufacturing sterile products and carrying out aseptic processes. These isolators feature automated pressure hold tests, automated H2O2 bio-decontamination, and continuous environmental monitoring to ensure process sterility.
Applications
- Cell Therapy, Bioprocessing, and Cell Culture
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Formulation
- Sterility Testing & QC Laboratories
- Electronics & Semiconductor Clean Processing
Containment Isolators utilize a negative pressure airflow system engineered for the safe handling of high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) and toxic compounds. Built with breach compensation mechanisms and automated pressure testing, operator and environmental safety remains the top priority.
Applications
- HPAPI & Potent Powder Dispensing/Weighing
- Potent Compound Formulation & Milling
- Pharmaceutical R&D and QC Testing
Class III Biological Safety Cabinet-configured isolators provide maximum biosafety containment for handling Risk Group 3 and 4 biological agents. Featuring a leak-tight physical barrier with glove ports and negative pressure laminar flow, they protect operators from high-consequence pathogens.
Applications
