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

Barriera fisica

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

Filtri HEPA

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.

Porte per guanti

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

Porte interbloccate

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

Controllo della contaminazione

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.

Interazione con l'operatore

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.

Conformità normativa

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.

Sicurezza migliorata

Le barriere fisiche e i punti di accesso controllati di oRABS proteggono sia i prodotti che gli operatori. Riducendo al minimo il contatto diretto con materiali potenzialmente pericolosi, le oRABS creano un ambiente di lavoro più sicuro.

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.
