In the highly regulated and sensitive environments of cleanrooms, maintaining sterility and controlling contamination is paramount. YOUTH Clean Tech, a leading provider of cleanroom equipment, offers innovative solutions such as Pass Boxes and Sterile Liquid Transfer Ports (SLTPs) that are designed to ensure the integrity of these controlled environments.

Pass Boxes: Key Features

Design and Construction

YOUTH’s Pass Boxes are engineered with a simple yet effective design, featuring a box with doors on both sides. One door opens to the cleanroom, and the other to a non-cleanroom environment, ensuring seamless material transfer without compromising the cleanroom’s cleanliness.

Interlock System

To prevent simultaneous opening of both doors, which could compromise the cleanroom environment, these pass boxes are equipped with an interlock system. This system ensures that when one door is open, the other remains locked.

Materials

Constructed from premium-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel or other non-particle-shedding materials, these pass boxes are designed for durability and ease of maintenance.

UV Light and HEPA/ULPA Filters

Some models of YOUTH’s Pass Boxes come equipped with UV lights for disinfection and HEPA or ULPA filters to clean the air inside the box, providing an additional layer of protection against contaminants.

Types of Pass Boxes

YOUTH offers both static and dynamic pass boxes. Static pass boxes are ideal for environments where airflow is not necessary, while dynamic pass boxes feature continuous airflow filtration and sometimes maintain a positive pressure to prevent contaminants from entering.

Sterile Liquid Transfer Ports (SLTPs): Key Features

Design and Construction

YOUTH’s SLTPs are meticulously designed to ensure optimal performance and durability. They incorporate advanced sterility assurance mechanisms such as double-door systems and aseptic connections to prevent the ingress of contaminants.

Types of SLTPs

SLTPs come in various types, including passive transfer ports that provide a sealed barrier and active transfer ports that utilize mechanisms like peristaltic pumps or venting systems. Both single-use and multiple-use options are available, offering flexibility in terms of usage and cost-effectiveness.

Compatibility and Versatility

These transfer ports are compatible with a wide range of containers and equipment, making them versatile and adaptable to different manufacturing and research processes.

VHP Pass Box: Advanced Sterilization

VHP Sterilization System

YOUTH’s VHP Pass Box utilizes a Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization system, ensuring fast and thorough decontamination of items being transferred. This system is particularly vital in high-stakes environments such as biological laboratories and pharmaceutical factories.

Auto-Pressure Checking System and Alarms

The VHP Pass Box features an auto-pressure checking system and leak and fault alarms, enhancing safety and reliability by constantly monitoring internal pressure levels and alerting users to any operational issues.

Customization and Integration

YOUTH understands that every cleanroom has unique requirements. Their Pass Boxes and SLTPs can be customized to meet industry-specific standards and operational demands. Features such as UV sterilization lights, electronic or mechanical interlocking systems, and specific types of filtration can be integrated to enhance contamination control protocols.

Best Practices for Optimal Performance

To maximize the benefits of these devices, it is crucial to follow best practices. Proper handling and cleaning procedures, comprehensive training for personnel, and regular maintenance and inspection of both Pass Boxes and SLTPs are essential to maintaining sterility and ensuring optimal performance.
