RABS Systems:
Providing a level of aseptic quality, Restricted-Access Barrier Systems (RABS) are quickly becoming recognized as an alternative to traditional rigid walled isolators. RABS protect the products and process by spreading an aerodynamic barrier over a critical process zone. While RABS must be set up in an ISO 7 clean room, it can provide ISO 5 in the critical zone under proper treatment.
Passive RABS | Utilizes clean room ventilation system as its source of clean air |
---|---|
Active RABS | Derives clean air from HEPA filters by forced ventilation from an onboard fan |
Open RABS | Air spills out of the RABS after it passes over the protected zone |
Closed RABS | After passing over the critical zone, air is filtered before entering the clean room or recirculated back through supply filters |
Cell Therapy Isolators:
Functioning as an alternative to clean rooms, cell therapy isolators offer a contained, sterile environment for the clinical production of cells.
