Isolator essentially means a physical obstacle between a process and its operator. A Barrier isolator is closed system whose size and features depends upon the type of application. Simple or complex operations can be undertaken either manually or automatically. Flawless functioning and optimum performance best define our range of Barrier isolators.

Isolator Applications Requirements for Aseptic Processing :
- Generally operated under positive pressure to ensure maximum product safety.
- Positive pressure isolator is basically used for Sterile Operation.
- Exhaust system will be based on recirculation basis.
- Well Designed capacity of motor and blower as per sufficient airflow requirement.
- They must not exchange air with the surrounding environment except when that air passes though a HEPA filter.
- Typically classified as ISO 5 (Class 100, Grade A)
- In cases of applications with hazardous bacteria, subsequent biological decontamination can be carried out by means of gaseous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or UV radiation.
- Positive isolator basically used for sterile transfer, filtration, sterility testing, loading and unloading of vials into lyophilizers and compact filling lines.
