Containment needs in pharma labs
Advancements in nanotechnology and highly potent APIs mean pharmaceutical production environments rely on strict engineering controls and procedures to comply with an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). Smaller particle sizes present greater drug surface area for reaction and are easier to absorb or inhale. Extract air from the laboratory has to be balanced with fresh, conditioned air from outside, without adversely affecting room pressures and fume hood performance. Specialised UV detection equipment is used to monitor contamination zones and to ensure equipment and surfaces are clean.
