Environmental Monitoring in Isolators

IsoBag™ optimize your environmental monitoring workflow

Mount readily gamma-irradiated contact or settle plates directly to your isolator without prior decontamination

IsoBag™ ease the environmental monitoring workflow in aseptic production isolators by containing readily gamma-irradiated contact or settle plates. These unique transportation and packaging bags are simply mounted to the alpha port of the isolator. This keeps the plates available for use at any time – and conveniently stored, taking up none of the valuable space within the isolator.

There is no need for decontamination cycles before introducing settle or contact plates, freeing up time for your actual production processes and thus saving costs.

Use of ICR plates in production isolators – without IsoBag™

Limited time between two decontamination cycles due to required space for media storage results in short campaign duration

Introduction of ICR plates into the isolator	ICR plates are transferred into the isolator by removing the two outer bags in material locks within the inner packaging.
Decontamination cycle	The decontamination cycle is untaken with single bagged plates. Use holes in bags to hang them up.
Storage and use of plates	Decontaminated ICR plates are stored in the isolator and used for environmental monitoring during a specified period of time.
Repeat process	Introduction of ICR plates into the isolator before the next scheduled decontamination takes place.

Use of ICR plates in production isolators – with IsoBag™

Extended operation time between 2 decontamination cycles using IsoBag™

Introduction of ICR Plates into the Isolator	ICR plates are transferred into the isolator by connecting the IsoBag™ to the alpha port of the isolator. (Minimum of 1 staple with 10 plates per connection)
Use of Plates	Save storage room for plates in the isolator. ICR plates can be used immediately for environmental monitoring.
Repeat Process	ICR plates are transferred into the isolator by connection of the IsoBag™ to the alpha port of the isolator. (Minimum of 1 staple with 10 plates per connection)
