Biologics, sterile manufacturing, medical devices

For protection and strict standards in aseptic processing cleanrooms, turn to Camfil for air filtration solutions for the biopharmaceutical and medical devices industries.

Without air filters, we wouldn’t be able to safely manufacture medical devices, vaccines, gene therapies, highly potent drugs and other life-critical pharmaceutical products. Strict requirements and regulations define cleanliness levels. And it’s no wonder – after all, airborne contamination directly impacts the quality of pharmaceutical products and medical devices.

 

Hi-tech and biotech need the cleanest air possible

Manufacturing biological drugs (biologics) is a unique and complex process. Biologics are made from proteins from living organisms that have been engineered to produce therapeutic proteins in large quantities. They are extremely sensitive and can be negatively affected by even the slightest process change.

Similarly high requirements exist for medical devices that are used in critical situations. They are subject to strict regulations, so their manufacture requires cleanrooms to ensure that they meet these regulations. 

Filling pharmaceuticals is a highly critical process that requires a completely clean and controlled environment. Filtration systems help to maintain cleanliness levels throughout the different process zones, from grade A to grade C or D. In all these situations, the direction of the airflow needs to be controlled to prevent any cross contamination from infiltrating the final product.

Different aseptic processing areas have different requirements

Aseptic processing facilities require different air filtration solutions for each of these areas:

 

Area

Solution

MAU and AHU

Wash and prep

Depyrogenation tunnels and sterile preparation rooms

High-end pre-filtration for minimising total cost of ownership and protecting critical areas

 

Efficient HEPA filter systems for smooth cleanroom operations – Camfil CleanSeal™ and Megalam™ 

 

Increase depyrogenation tunnel throughput with Absolute D-Pyro, the most efficient high-temperature filter on the market

 

Aseptic filling

Mini-environments like restricted access barrier systems (RABS) and isolators

Megalam and push-push filters for work environment protection

 

CamSafe™ range to protect workers and the environment

Packing areas

CamCleaner™ for maintaining a clean, safe warehouse
