As active pharmaceutical ingredients increase in potency and become more hazardous to work with, pharmacological and chemical containment devices are required to meet containment performance targets through independent testing before use in laboratories can begin. Typically, we test containment equipment against some minimum performance standard. This is necessary to protect procedural integrity and the sensitive products undergoing processing.

As air sampling and measurement techniques improve and cumulative recorded data becomes more robust, containment testing has grown more refined—even if the tests themselves are more complicated.

Here we will analyze and explain the different methods, their reasons, and which would be most beneficial for your first (or next) containment device to ensure personnel protection.

The Drysolator series provides isolation and protection against highly potent compounds. The glove box interior operates under negative pressure offering additional personnel protection in the event of a glove breach. The PLC-controlled interior reduces oxygen and humidity levels for the safe handling of reactive substances. PLC controls offer the ability to lock settings with admin-required passcodes to help avoid breaking SOPs. Third-party surrogate powder testing has proven exposure levels below 1 μg/m3, based on process and quantity*.

Designed for dispensing, weighing, and many other applications with sensitive or reactive substances that require low RH & O2 levels.

Regular maintenance of a containment enclosure is key to ensuring safety and improving its longevity. We typically recommend filter changeout procedures 5 years after your enclosure's installation date. In compounding applications where filters see heavy use and build-up, it may be critical to change out your filter sooner than that. A clogged or old filter can cause your unit's fan (if equipped) to overwork itself to compensate for the loss of pressure.

We are committed to ensuring that your Flow Sciences products are offering the best protection possible.

If you have questions or want to place an order for a replacement filter please call us at 1-800-849-3429 or visit us online. https://flowsciences.com/

Day 2 of CPhI North America! We got off to a great start yesterday and we're ready to talk containment. Stop by and see our latest concept, the flex wall enclosure, and some of our proven winners, like the Hybrid Isolator and SAF T Fume Hood. Find us at booth #907 or online: www.flowsciences.com

05/17/2022

Let's talk at CPhI North America 2022! If you're attending, do not miss the opportunity to visit our booth and learn how we can provide you with a safe and efficient containment system, just visit us at booth #907. We are displaying our innovative Hybrid Isolator, our energy-efficient Saf T Flow fume hood, and a new flex wall concept which is still in the development phase. All three enclosures are connected with pass-throughs between them to create a fully integrated containment system offering an uninterrupted flow to your process.

If that isn't enough, check out our Containment Process Builder demo. It is a tool to help you visualize your containment system before it is built and gives useful information like the final dimensions to assist in your planning.

We have a lot to show you! Stop by booth #907!

Our Glovebox Workstation provides containment against highly toxic APIs, HPAPIs, and other materials that require a higher containment level than an open-face enclosure. Processes include weighing, dispensing, dissolution, or handling of APIs/HPAPIs. This glovebox reaches containment covers OEB 3–5, depending on application and quantity. It also provides adequate containment for your equipment including balances, ovens, FTIR, sieves, and more. Talk to one of our experts today and protect your processes today! https://zcu.io/rNaO

Containment for highly toxic applications using APIs, and HPAPIs, that need higher safety standards than an open face enclosure.

Our project manager, Sara Jane Mitchell, spent some time in assembly last week. Why? Because we want to provide our customers with excellent service, and learning each step of our process is part of that service. Sara spent time learning the assembly process first, and then she had the opportunity to build her own. Then it was passed on to QA for the final check...she passed! We see you Sara, and we appreciate your willingness to learn and provide the best service possible! Thanks to our assembly tech, Shamekia, for taking time out of her regular work to train a fellow team member. We grow together!
