Without air filters, we wouldn’t be able to safely manufacture medical devices, vaccines, gene therapies, highly potent drugs and other life-critical pharmaceutical products. Strict requirements and regulations define cleanliness levels. And it’s no wonder – after all, airborne contamination directly impacts the quality of pharmaceutical products and medical devices.

Hi-tech and biotech need the cleanest air possible

Manufacturing biological drugs (biologics) is a unique and complex process. Biologics are made from proteins from living organisms that have been engineered to produce therapeutic proteins in large quantities. They are extremely sensitive and can be negatively affected by even the slightest process change.

Similarly high requirements exist for medical devices that are used in critical situations. They are subject to strict regulations, so their manufacture requires cleanrooms to ensure that they meet these regulations. 

Filling pharmaceuticals is a highly critical process that requires a completely clean and controlled environment. Filtration systems help to maintain cleanliness levels throughout the different process zones, from grade A to grade C or D. In all these situations, the direction of the airflow needs to be controlled to prevent any cross contamination from infiltrating the final product.

Different aseptic processing areas have different requirements

Aseptic processing facilities require different air filtration solutions for each of these areas:
