Necessity of laminar flow hoods in pharmaceutical factories
Necessity of laminar flow hoods in pharmaceutical factoriesPharmaceutical factories have extremely high requirements for cleanliness, which is determined by the particularity of drug production. Drugs are directly related to people's health and life safety, and any tiny pollution may have a serious impact on the quality of drugs. In the pharmaceutical process, impurities such as particles and microorganisms in the air may enter the drugs, reduce the purity and quality of the drugs, and may even cause the drugs to fail or create safety hazards.Laminar flow hoods play a vital role in meeting the quality standards of drug production. First, it can maintain a clean environment. By filtering the air, and removing particles and microorganisms in the air, a highly clean working environment is created for the pharmaceutical process. For example, dust with a particle size of ≥0.5μm in the working area of the clean laminar flow area is ≤3.5 particles/liter (FS209E100 grade), which can effectively prevent impurities and pollutants in the air from entering the pharmaceutical process and ensure the purity and quality of the product. Second, laminar flow hoods can ensure product quality. It can prevent microorganisms and particles from the external environment from entering the pharmaceutical process and reduce the risk of product contamination. A highly pure environment is essential for manufacturing drugs, medical devices, and other biological products. In the clean workshop of a pharmaceutical factory, laminar flow hoods are usually used to implement local Class 100 areas, such as the filling, packaging, and plugging of sterile injections, and the filling, freeze-drying, and plugging of biological products. Whether the Class 100 clean area can operate normally directly affects the quality of the product, and the effect of the Class 100 clean area is mainly determined by the laminar flow hood. Furthermore, the laminar flow hood ensures the safety of the operators. When employees work in a clean laminar flow area, they are less susceptible to harmful microorganisms and particles, which helps to maintain their health and safety. At the same time, by reducing pollution and unclean factors in the pharmaceutical process, laminar flow hoods can improve production efficiency. The qualified rate of products is improved, the waste of raw materials is reduced, and thus the production cost is reduced. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry faces strict regulations and quality standards. The clean laminar flow area provides a verifiable method to control and maintain the cleanliness and quality of the production process, which helps pharmaceutical factories meet these standard requirements. |
