Isolators for Biocontainment Applications

Biocontainment is a major concern in research laboratories today. Biocontainment involves taking steps and developing procedures to prevent the unwanted accidental release of items such as

  • Viruses and any sterile animal tissue and cell culture systems used to propagate viruses
  • Carcinogens
  • Extraterrestrial samples such as soil and rocks from the moon and from Mars
  • Exotic disease agents affecting animals, such as foot-and-mouth disease
  • Tropical and infectious disease agents affecting humans, such as ebola
  • Plant agents or toxins
  • Toxic environmental pollutants
  • Germs such as anthrax
  • Live laboratory animals
  • Body fluids such as blood and saliva

Researchers must approach biocontainment with the attitude that every specimen from people, animals, or plants may contain infectious agents.

Innovative Technology's Isolator provides an excellent quarantine facility for biocontainment needs. Designed to contain biological hazards and to allow products to be handled in a clean environment, the Isolator seals samples in a biologically contained space. It thus protects personnel, the environment, and the product:

  • Inward airflow protects personnel
  • HEPA-filtered exhaust air protects the environment
  • HEPA-filtered supply air protects the product

The entire Isolator is designed to prevent microbes from being released into the environment and to provide maximum safety for researchers, including such features as --

  • Inlet/outlet HEPA filtration
  • Backup and standby power systems
  • Chemical and waste decontamination systems
  • Leak monitor and analyzer
  • Double glove system
  • Completely sealed system with negative pressure control
  • Radiused corners that are easy to clean
