This simple containment valve is a new low cost version of the Buck® ‘HC’ (high containment) valve, however still offers very impressive containment, and has been designed to achieve levels down to 10 µg/m³.
The benefits of a ‘C’ containment system include:
- The ability to manufacture more potent drugs, either now or for future drugs; newer drugs are increasingly more potent, and as these gradually loose patent protection, generic manufacturers need the equipment to handle these drugs safely.
- Reduced risk of product cross contamination; this is of particular benefit to multi-product plants.
- Good house keeping; no powder trails left through the plant.
Taking into account FDA/local requirements, and with health and safety regulations becoming increasingly tougher, the Buck® C Valve offers low investment now for the regulations of the future.
