About Amercare

In pharmacy and aseptic processing, precision is non-negotiable. The isolator sitting at the heart of your operation needs to perform consistently, comply with the standards your environment demands and hold up to the pressures of daily use without compromise. That’s the standard Amercare has represented for over 39 years and it’s what drives everything we do.

From our base in Thame, Oxfordshire, we specialise in the design, manufacture and supply of standard and bespoke isolators for pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical applications. With more than 1,400 isolators delivered to facilities across the world and over 1,200 customers trusting us to support their critical processes, we’re proud to be one of the UK’s most established names in pharmacy and radiopharmacy isolator technology.

Our Story and Where We Started

Our expertise in isolator design and manufacture dates back to 1987, and since then we’ve grown from a specialist UK manufacturer into an internationally recognised provider of isolators for pharmacy, radiopharmacy and complex aseptic applications, serving customers across the NHS, private healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing worldwide.

The introduction of the A2 isolator range in 2002 marked a turning point for the business. Designed around ease of use, aseptic processing and long-term reliability, the A2 became one of the most successful isolator platforms in the UK market and remains the foundation of what we offer today. It’s a product developed through close collaboration with the people using our isolators day in, day out, and that approach continues to define how we work today.

Since installing our first isolator in 1987, Amercare has grown into a trusted name in pharmacy isolator design and supply. We’ve now installed over 1400 isolators worldwide, carrying out over 700 service and validation calls per year and exporting to an average of 25% of our customer base globally.

As an ISO 9001 quality control accredited manufacturer and an awarded supplier to the NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub for Aseptic Isolators and Cabinets, we’re a company that many UK and overseas pharmacy and radiopharmacy facilities rely on. 

Isolators Built to Industry Standards

The isolators we design, and supply are built to meet the standards your processes depend on, and our quality management system underpins everything we deliver. We’re ISO 9001 accredited, follow Annex 1 guidelines and our isolators are designed to meet a comprehensive set of international standards covering clean air environments, containment performance and pharmaceutical applications. 

When you specify an Amercare isolator, you’re receiving a system that’s been designed with your compliance obligations in mind from the outset and backed by a team that understands the regulatory landscape you operate within.
