In the highly regulated fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and semiconductor manufacturing, maintaining a sterile and controlled environment is paramount. The Open Restricted Access Barrier System (oRABS), offered by industry leader YOUTH, is a cutting-edge technology designed to achieve this goal while facilitating operator interaction.

Key Features of oRABS

Physische Barriere

oRABS utilizes glass or acrylic panels to create a physical separation between the critical processing area and the external environment, significantly reducing contamination risks.

HEPA-Filter

High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters ensure unidirectional airflow, maintaining a sterile environment within the barrier system. These filters effectively remove particulates and microorganisms from the air.

Handschuh-Anschlüsse

Glove ports allow operators to safely manipulate products and equipment without breaching the sterile environment, enabling necessary manual interventions and adjustments.

Interlock-Türen

Interlock doors are designed to prevent simultaneous opening, minimizing contamination risks during material transfers. This feature ensures that the controlled environment remains intact.

Functions and Benefits of oRABS

Kontrolle der Kontamination

The primary function of oRABS is to maintain a controlled environment that significantly reduces the risk of contamination. The combination of physical barriers and advanced HEPA filtration systems ensures that airborne particulates are effectively contained and removed.

Interaktion mit dem Bediener

Unlike traditional RABS, oRABS allows for a higher degree of operator interaction within the cleanroom. This is facilitated through glove ports, enabling operators to handle products and equipment without compromising the sterile environment.

Einhaltung von Vorschriften

oRABS helps facilities meet stringent regulatory requirements set by authorities such as the FDA and EMA. These systems ensure that manufacturing processes comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), guaranteeing product safety and efficacy.

Erhöhte Sicherheit

Die physischen Barrieren und kontrollierten Zugänge in oRABS schützen sowohl die Produkte als auch die Mitarbeiter. Durch die Minimierung des direkten Kontakts mit potenziell gefährlichen Materialien schaffen oRABS ein sichereres Arbeitsumfeld.

Operational Flexibility and Efficiency

oRABS provide greater flexibility and operational efficiency compared to isolators. The system allows for easier access and handling within the cleanroom, making it suitable for a variety of processes in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
