Containment Performance Assessments of Existing Equipment (Field Testing)

We carry out a range of testing to ensure that your current processes or equipment pieces are capable of meeting their containment performance targets providing you with a way to evaluate the effectiveness of your equipment and processing operations.

• This provides a range of benefits to a site, including:
  
• ·       verify containment levels of equipment when bringing in newer or more potent substances
• ·       confirming control of product in a process stream
• ·       giving customers confidence in the capabilities of a site (e.g. for CDMOs)
• ·       Verify processes after a reduction in an OEL
• ·       Allows you to evaluate a systems containment capability and set a baseline of performance
• ·       Allows a site to assess the manufacturers claims against their own SOPs and use of the
       equipment on site.
• ·       Minimal downtime or lost production time as testing can be done on live, scheduled batches.
• We carry out equipment testing for all manner of control approach including:
  
• ·       Local exhaust ventilation (including benchtop capture hoods)
• ·       Downflow booths
• ·       Laminar flow hoods
• ·       Ventilated enclosures
• ·       Vacuum transfer
• ·       Rigid isolators
• ·       Flexible Isolators
• ·       Closed transfer systems

·       We can also tailor our sampling approaches to suit bespoke systems on your site.

We work with each client on an individual basis to identify manufacturing risks, plan a sampling strategy, conduct exposure assessments and provide recommendations, identifying potential sources of exposure and improvement opportunities.
