Cleanroom Pass Thru
A cleanroom pass-through, also known as a Pass-Through Chamber or Pass Box, is a sealed environment used to transfer materials between different areas of a cleanroom while minimizing contamination. Here are some key points about cleanroom pass-throughs:
Features:
- Sealed Environment: Maintains the cleanroom integrity by preventing contaminants from entering.
- Interlocking Doors: Equipped with interlocking doors that prevent both doors from being opened simultaneously, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
- Materials: Made from stainless steel or other cleanroom-compatible materials to ensure easy cleaning and sterilization.
- HEPA Filters: Some pass-throughs include HEPA filters to further reduce the risk of contamination.
- Air Showers: Advanced models might incorporate air showers to blow off contaminants from materials being transferred.
Applications:
- Pharmaceutical Industry: For transferring samples, chemicals, and equipment without contaminating the environment.
- Biotechnology: To move biological samples safely between different clean zones.
- Electronics Manufacturing: Used to transfer components to prevent static and particulate contamination.
- Hospitals and Labs: For moving sterile instruments and samples without compromising sterility.
Benefits:
- Minimizes Cross-Contamination: Ensures materials are transferred without introducing contaminants.
- Enhances Safety: Reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.
- Improves Workflow Efficiency: Allows for efficient transfer of materials without the need to exit and re-enter clean zones, saving time and maintaining the cleanroom environment.
