12 ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT
“The innovative design and integration of the front screen, fan systems, HEPA filters and control system means the cabinet offers exceptional internal height of the work area, while giving a low overall height”

glove boxes. Processes inside the chamber are protected with ULPA-filtered intake air, and the cleanroom or lab is also shielded from internal contaminants with the use of a second, optional ULPA filter. Air is not recirculated within the negative-pressure chamber. Terra’s open-loop glove box
features a brushless, electrically commutated motor that does not release particles into the controlled environment. Glove boxes are available in a choice of cleanroom-compatible plastics, and come with either two (one-person) or four (two- people) glove ports. Te back is removable for placement of equipment.

In isolation Other news from recent months comes from Singapore, where Esco Pharma, a manufacturer of clean air and containment solutions, has added a containment barrier isolator (CBI) to its portfolio. Te company says the
Esco CBI retains the same functionality and platform engineering pioneered by Esco
Pharma in its existing suite of isolators while adding new features.
Te CBI is suitable for applications in pharmacy compounding (chemotherapy/ TPN); as a Class III cabinet for Biosafety Levels (BSL) 3 and 4; and for small batch sterility testing. It can also be used for small-scale potent material handling, cell processing, aseptic processing and for research and development, the company says. Te new isolator provides
full unidirectional airflow across the entire work zone and is available in re-circulatory or single-pass options, in either positive or negative pressure. It is built with a single-piece carcasse and 19mm coved ball radius corners on all four base corners. Tis allows third- party equipment and other process instrumentation to be incorporated.
Esco CBI is also available with two different dynamic pass- through hatches sizes: a larger one with optional glove ports and a smaller one without glove ports that allows integration of a CCTV.
Nano-containment kit 2015 has also been a productive year for UK-based Powder Systems Ltd (PSL), which has been supporting one of its customer’s global expansion via innovative nano-containment technology. PSL worked closely with the end user to develop suitable solutions for its high-potent facility and is providing a dispensary isolator including a contained drum hoist mechanism. Tis safe solution is part of a Global Supplier Agreement and PSL exhibited its first one at the Achema show back in June 2015. PSL has installed the
dispensary isolator into a GMP manufacturing plant in the USA. Numerous operations will be processed inside this nano-containment isolator, including drum offloading with safe drum chamber, dispensing, weighing and sampling. All these operations will be carried out with a Containment Performance of 30-100ng/m³ in eight hours TWA that will be tested and certified by a third party hygienist prior to starting the production.
