In the processing of highly active pharmaceutical compounds, particularly during the milling phase, safeguarding both product integrity and personnel is paramount. The milling process generates fine powders that, if not properly managed, can disperse into the working environment, significantly increasing operator exposure risks. At Munit, we recognise the critical importance of containment, especially for highly potent powders with stringent low exposure level requirements.

To effectively mitigate these risks, the deployment of appropriate isolator equipment is essential. Munit leverages advanced containment solutions, with Half Suit isolators and Glove Box isolators representing the most effective types for ensuring process integrity and reducing exposure.

Half Suit Isolators: these provide superior ergonomic interaction and comprehensive visibility of the entire working area. Operators, protected by a half suit integrated into the isolator, gain direct and close access to heavy equipment components. This is particularly advantageous during intricate operations such as equipment assembly and thorough cleaning procedures, ensuring maximal safety and operational efficiency.

Glove Box Isolators: ideal for smaller-scale operations, particularly within Research & Development (R&D) milling applications, Glove Box isolators offer precise and controlled containment for highly potent powders.

Both Half Suit and Glove Box isolators deliver exceptional containment performance, capable of achieving levels below 25 ng/m³. This adherence to stringent safety thresholds underscores our commitment to protecting both material purity and personnel well-being.

A robust containment strategy is not merely a regulatory requirement; it is fundamental to guaranteeing a safe, effective, and compliant milling process for highly potent APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients). By preventing cross-contamination and minimising exposure, we ensure the integrity of your valuable products and the safety of our dedicated professionals.
