Amercare A2 Pharmacy Isolators provide a fully enclosed, safe environment for the handling of sensitive or hazardous materials during sterile preparation and aseptic pharmaceutical workflows.
At Amercare, we design and manufacture for our customers standard configuration and custom pharmaceutical isolators. Developed to provide controlled conditions, sterile environments and optimised efficiency to support preparation of pharmacy products and safe aseptic filling.
Pharmaceutical isolators are used for compounding hazardous drugs, preparing sterile products with complete protection against contamination, handling sensitive biological materials, and supporting aseptic pharmacy workflows, including automated processes.
Amercare offers a range of pharmacy isolators, with the flexibility to configure systems to best suit your workflow and application requirements.
| Laminar flow isolators | Turbulent flow isolators |
|---|---|
| Provide a unidirectional stream of clean air to the work zone and continuously sweep contaminants away. They are ideally suited to applications where product sterility is the highest priority. | Introduce clean air then circulates it using a mixed airflow pattern that dilutes and removes airborne contaminants, thus reducing concentration within the work zone. |
| Negative pressure isolators | Positive pressure isolators |
|---|---|
| Protect the operator and environment by preventing contaminants from escaping, making them suitable for handling hazardous or potent compounds. | Protect the product from external contamination, making them ideal for sterile manufacturing and aseptic processing applications. |
