Porvair Filtration Group opens a Class 100000 (ISO Class 8) cleanroom at its Wrexham, UK site

Porvair Filtration Group, a developer and manufacturer of high-performance sintered porous plastic materials and products for life science applications, has opened a Class 100000 (ISO Class 8) cleanroom at its Wrexham, UK site.

The new facility is part of ongoing investment to produce and package regulatory controlled materials and assembled products in a clean environment.

An ISO 9001-2000 quality assurance programme, cGMP practices and cleanroom environment to ensure products meet the stringent requirements of the life science industries, underpins the manufacture of these specialist high performance products.

Porvair has developed a highly purified porous polymeric material called BioVyon to complement contract manufacturing for the life science market. Chemically modified using novel technologies, the materials are aimed at pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare and analytical companies for filtration, separation, purification, diffusion and fluid transfer applications.

    Avoiding glass delamination Contamination with glass flakes caused by delamination of the internal finish of container closure systems or prefilled syringes has caused numerous drug recalls. Surface imperfections and aggressive drug components can lead to interaction between product and container, resulting in leaching, dissolution, ion exchange and formation of precipitants or particles; use of cyclic olefin polymers as an alternative to glass can avoid these issues

    Particulates in parenterals Particulate matter is a key indicator of quality for injectable drug products. Test methods are being improved with the intent to find the materials responsible for the particle(s). The desired goal of zero defects is not a workable acceptance criterion for visible particulate matter because of current packaging components and processing capabilities. The value of vision inspection systems for elastomeric primary components is shown to mitigate the risk of particulates in finished parenteral drug products.
