Cleaning, Sterilization & Bio Decontamination White Papers & Case Studies

  1. Emerging Fourth Generation Pharmaceutical Containment Technologies 2/25/2013

    Barrier technology has become overwhelmingly accepted as the basis for new aseptic processing facilities in 2013. The traditional clean room facilities of the 20th century are being rapidly replaced with advanced barrier based technology filling facilities. This technological evolution is dramatically reducing the risk of product contamination and risk of infection to patients. By Sterling Kline, RA IPS

  2. Materials Of Construction For Biopharmaceutical Water Systems 1/15/2013

    Stainless steels are uniquely qualified for bioprocessing applications not only because of their long service life, availability, and fabricability, but also because they are non-corroding, non-contaminant, can be polished to very smooth finishes, are strong and rigid, can withstand heat and chemical sterilization treatments, and are easily welded. By Michelle M. Gonzalez

  3. Alternatives to Traditional Fume Hoods: Ductless Enclosures And Fume Hoods 12/20/2012

    Safety is the primary purpose of any filtered enclosure or ventilated fume hood. In most situations, fume hoods remain the equipment of choice for ventilating hazardous airborne chemicals from the laboratory. By Gary Roepke, Senior Project Engineer, Labconco Corporation

  4. Laboratory Fume Hood Conflict "Energy Savings" vs "Safe Containment" 12/20/2012

    Safety is the primary purpose of any laboratory hood. Facility managers and laboratory planners desire fume hoods that can conserve energy without compromising safety. Exhausting less air through a hood can result in substantial energy savings.

  5. The XPert Nano Enclosure's Ability To Contain Nanoparticles Is NANOSAFE TESTED™ 12/20/2012

    NANOSAFE INC., an independent testing company, evaluated the XPert Nano Enclosure for its ability to contain nanoparticles.

  6. Robotics And Isolator-Barrier Systems: The Perfect Combination For Advanced Aseptic Processing 11/27/2012

    The aim of advanced aseptic processing is the elimination and absolute control of all sources of contaminants – most importantly, humangenerated contamination. By Joshua Russell

  7. 10 Tips On Selecting Cartridge Dust Collection Equipment For Tablet Presses 9/26/2012

    Though tablet compression does not generate large volumes of fugitive dust, safe and efficient collection of whatever dust is created by this process is critical. By David A. Steil, Camfil Farr Air Pollution Control.

  8. Biological Contamination Events In Isolators: What Lessons Can Be Learned? 8/17/2012

    Microbiological deviation and biological contamination events have been observed in pharmaceutical isolators including those used in production, sterility test and pharmacy aseptic services. By James Drinkwater, Bioquell UK Process & Compliance Director

  9. A Guide To Safe And Effective Sanitation For Food And Pharmaceutical Processing 6/15/2012

    VeeJet® nozzles have a tapered flat fan spray that provides uniform coverage of overlapping spray patterns in a manifold. The versatile medium impact spray works well in rinsing, washing and sanitizing stages. By Jon Barber, Spraying Systems Co.

  10. Biodecontamination Of Animal Rooms And Heat-Sensitive Equipment With Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide 4/12/2012
    Common methods used to decontaminate and disinfect laboratory animal areas are difficult to standardize, labor-intensive, and potentially hazardous for staff members and the environment.
