Solutions & Results
PBSC supplied containment solutions with innovation to meet the needs of the Viroclinics project. Ordering the V1 MAL50 chamber due to Viroclinics already having an IG-1 generator already onsite.
A subframe was designed to allow a seal between the existing facility and the B side of the chamber. This design also allowed validation activity to take place without Viroclinics needing to remove any walls or open the chamber to the BSL3+ side of the facility.
In addition, Viroclinics chose to have HEPA filtration on the inlet and exhaust. Having a 2-valve system which means the air flows to and from the chamber, incorporated into the HVAC system which can be controlled.
PBSC meticulously engineered the MAL50 enabling Viroclinics to use the chamber for both HPV and Air Clean cycles when transferring products and materials between their BSL3 and BSL3+ facilities in accordance with their containment requirements.
PBSC’s products, services, and support in association with Tecnilab BMI who provide comprehensive services for biomedical facilities and pharmaceutical plants, healthcare, and biosafety, ensuring this high containment facility continued being the preferred virology testing laboratory.
