Pharmaceutical Freeze Dryers With Isolators And RABs

GEA Lyophil integrates freeze dryers or lyophilizers, Automatic Loading and Unloading Systems and isolators or RABs into complete systems to reach a high level of contamination prevention.

Why use isolators or RABs?
The aseptic production of pharmaceuticals usually takes place in clean-rooms in order to prevent product contamination. Although operator intervention is regulated strictly, it still is the main source of contamination.

A step toward contamination prevention is the use of ALUS® (Automatic Loading and Unloading Systems), reducing operator activities in the clean-room area for loading and unloading of the freeze dryer.

One step further leads the use of Isolator technology and RABs, restricting operator access to the aseptic production by physical barriers. Isolators and RABs can thus replace the expensive clean-room and offer both, product and operator protection.

Complete Freeze Drying Production Systems for contamination prevention.
Pharmaceutical customers who need to assure a superior degree of product protection because of high-value and expensive products or of operator protection because of toxic products (for example cytostatica) can rely on GEA Lyophil's production systems. Integrating freeze dryers, ALUS (Automatic Loading and Unloading Systems) and isolators into one complete system delivers the best solution for the aseptic production.
