Using RABS and isolators in pharmaceutical applications

摘要

Barrier technology is designed to replace the use of conventional ISO 5 cleanrooms in pharmaceutical filling and packaging (i.e., ampoules, vials, cartridges, and pre-filled syringes). The goal of barrier systems, isolators and restricted barrier access systems (RABS), is to segregate people from the product, ensuring that pharmaceuticals are not exposed to viable organisms or particulate contamination. When dealing with highly potent formulations, these systems can protect operators as well.
