Isolators for Sterile Applications

The IT Isolator from Innovative Technology is ideal for sterile applications such as pharmaceutical research and production.

Flexible environment

The IT Isolator can operate under both positive and negative pressure:

• Positive pressure environments ensure that contaminants do not leak into the sterile glovebox environment
• Negative pressure environments ensure that toxic compounds within the glovebox do not leak into the external environment

Government guidelines and regulations

The pharmaceutical industry must meet sterility standards such as USP <797> and NIOSH's alert for Preventing Occupational Exposures to Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs in Health Care Settings. The IT Isolator provides the Class 100 environment you need to meet these guidelines and regulations.

Safe work environment

The IT Isolator protects health care workers by isolating any hazardous materials they are working with. The sealed and closed work area contains all airborne contaminants and sweeps them safely out through an air exhaust system. Workers can view the materials through plastic viewing screens, and access the material only through ports equipped with gloves.

Clean and safe product

The IT Isolator helps you produce a clean and safe product by reducing the possibility of product contamination. Specific glovebox features that reduce the possibility of contamination include the following:

• Airflow to remove contaminants from material
• Positive air pressure to keep external airborne particles out of the glovebox
• A pass-through system that isolates the interior of the unit from the environment when materials are transferred in and out

Easy to use and clean

No sterile application will remain sterile if the glovebox is used incorrectly or if it is not clean to begin with. For this reason, the IT Isolator has been specifically designed to be easy to use and clean:

• Electronic controls monitor all settings, including
  • Negative and positive pressure
  • Air change rate
  • Integrity of vacuum systems
  • Electrical supply
  • Leaks
• Electronic controls also open and close the doors and adjust the height
• Air quality in the main chamber automatically adjusts to the required level before the door to the chamber opens
• Built-in validation ports assess the air quality
• The one-piece stainless steel unit includes radius corners, making it easy to sanitize
• The main window and access ports allow quick and immediate access for sterilization and validation
