Drastically Reduced Isolator Decontamination Cycles
With the use of catalytic aeration, M + P is able to reduce the duration of the aeration phase in isolators by about 50 %. The aeration phase is the most time consuming cycle during H2O2 decontamination. By Felix Henning, Optima Packaging Group GmbH

Emerging Fourth Generation Pharmaceutical Containment Technologies
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

Determining The Right Glovebox For Accurate Level Of Containment
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.
