Isolation Technology A Practical Guide

Booknews

Not how to manage solitary confinement from either inside or out, but a European view of a technology to help prevent human-borne contamination in aseptic process manufacturing, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The technology has been used in Europe for many years, but only recently has spread to the US. Among the aspects examined are the background and fundamental theory, materials, transfer methods, design considerations and specification, the process of acquiring a system, sterilization and decontamination, running the operation, training operators, regulatory matters in Britain and the US, and two case studies of companies that have done it right and wrong. Includes a glossary, mostly of acronyms, and a list of suppliers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
