All Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API’s) are biologically active, even at very low quantities. Therefore, it is vital not to expose operating personnel handling these compounds to levels that would result in adverse biological effects being
experienced.
To facilitate this, a containment strategy needs to be employed. When dealing with API’s, it involves preventing hazardous materials from escaping into the workplace and into the surrounding environment. Essentially this involves isolating the product from personnel and the environment. This in turn protects the product itself, personnel working on the process and the surrounding environment.
Here at PharmNXT Biotech, we design, manufacture, and install flexible isolators for this exact purpose. Our business is based on the well-known philosophy “contain at source” and we incorporate this into our designs. The “contain at source” philosophy is now the most favored philosophy among containment engineers and all the regulatory bodies.
