Pharmaceutical Isolator for the Production of Active Ingredients

What is the need for a pharmaceutical isolator for the production of active ingredients?

The pharmaceutical isolator for active ingredient production is a bacteriologically-tight containment device designed to secure active ingredient manufacturing processes. It consists mainly of a perfectly sealed enclosure in which products or substances are handled using gloves attached to one of the walls. The isolator is also fitted with transfer systems enabling products to be inserted and retrieved without breaking containment conditions.

When it comes to protecting pharmaceutical and medical processes, the use of isolators for the manufacture of active ingredients is essential. It separates the production area from the personnel/environment. It prevents contamination of operators and the environment by active ingredients processed inside the enclosure. At the same time, the equipment protects products from outside contaminants. It offers a level of containment far superior to that of the cleanroom.

The isolator is suitable for handling and processing various types of active ingredients. Its integration ensures that processes comply with the strict requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and applicable regulations.

How a pharmaceutical isolator works

To ensure the integrity of the clean, contained environment, a pharmaceutical isolator for the production of active ingredients must have a number of features. For closed-loop control of chamber pressure, the isolator is fitted with positive and negative pressure systems. It is possible to check and parameterize conditions in the internal chamber, such as pressure, humidity, ventilation flow rate, etc. The information on conditions inside the isolator is easy to read, as it is displayed on a touch screen with integrated PLC.

This containment solution for the manufacture of active ingredients can be installed in cleanrooms and controlled areas. Its operation is identical to that of a stand-alone unit. It is equipped with a ventilation system filtered by ULPA filters and an exhaust system filtered by HEPA filters. For enhanced operational efficiency, the isolator features opposing work faces. This design technique ensures comfort and ergonomics when handling products with gloves.
