Making Sense of BSCs, Hoods, Isolators, RABs

Attendees will come away from the training program with the tools they need to understand the various types of enclosures and how to select the correct type of enclosure for their process in order to meet regulations, protect the product, and ensure worker safety. The course is apt for personnel in FDA regulated industries who want to learn about what enclosure is best suited for their process and why.

Why Should You Attend:

Selection of the proper environment for your process is important to avoid cross contamination of products, to protect the clean room environment, and to ensure worker safety. The word “hood” in FDA regulated industries gets misused more often than not.

This webinar will describe the differences and similarities among the various types of hoods including Bio Safety Cabinets, Laminar Flow Hoods, Downflow Booths, Glove Boxes, Isolators, Restricted Access Barriers and their variations. Participants will also learn what background environment is required for each and what regulatory authorities have to say on the topic.
