White Paper: Mobile Isolators Drive Kentucky's New Aseptic Facility

By Hank Rahe, Technical director, EnGuard Systems

The University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy's new sterile filling facility is a showcase for mobile isolator technology. Could these isolators be used one day in full scale manufacturing?

In the summer of 2004, six men met at a Princeton, NJ hotel to brainstorm a new aseptic filling facility for the University of Kentucky's Center for Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (CPST): CPST managing director, an expert in business turnarounds, Frank Manella; Mark Gilbert, an expert in potent drugs who would manage the facility; and consultants Troy Fugate, Michael Perciali, David Matsuhiro and James Agalloco.
