Energy Efficient Automation Systems For Increased Revenues And Sustainability
2/25/2013
Sustainable energy efficiency in automation requires a sophisticated concept which covers a total of four areas: intelligent dimensioning, energy-efficient products and solutions, services, and training and consulting. Each of these four areas contributes to an increase in energy efficiency – regardless of where the road begins. For optimum energy efficiency which meets the current standards or, looking forward, even surpasses them, it is recommended to use all four areas in combination.

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

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.

Determining The Right Glovebox For Accurate Level Of Containment
1/9/2013
A Glovebox is a sealed enclosure that allows materials handling through long, relatively impermeable gloves secured to ports in the walls of the enclosure. The purpose is protection or isolation, which is provided by the physical barrier. Depending on the type of system, the physical barrier may be to isolate a sensitive material inside the box from environmental contamination (controlled atmosphere type) or to protect the operator from hazardous materials being manipulated inside the box (ventilated type). Most systems have a main chamber where manipulations occur and a smaller transfer or antechamber where samples, small apparatus, and supplies are introduced into the main chamber.

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.
