Germfree’s challenge was to design and build a custom isolator that incorporated an attached oRABS unit on the left side for the controlled transfer of raw materials and allowed finished products to exit through the bottom of the chamber via a trapped door lift system, while also integrating a hydrogen peroxide decontamination cycle.

Germfree’s solution was to design and build a custom 8-foot isolator specifically tailored to Berkshire Sterile Manufacturing’s needs. The isolator’s integrated hydrogen peroxide decontamination cycle allowed for a quick turnaround time for filling small batches while maintaining a sterile environment. The isolator was designed single-sided, providing operators with ample space to work efficiently. The touchscreen interface allowed for easy and precise control of all isolator functions.

Our team also installed a pneumatic lift on the work deck to transfer finished products from the chamber to the airlock. The entire isolator was seamlessly connected to the RABs unit, allowing for streamlined and efficient operation.

The isolator was designed and built from the ground up by our Germfree team and is still used by BSM today, more than six years later. Our solution has enabled BSM to fill small batches in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring the environment remains sterile.
