Solutions & Results
PBSC’s chambers were produced from 316L stainless steel, with a 2-valve system incorporating Lonza’s own HVAC classification for air inlet and exhaust. Incorporating an aeration unit for the reduction of the ventilation phase of the HPV cycle.
The chambers also had actuated pressure packs to enable manual pressure tests and 4 low-level returns to improve airflow patterns within the chamber.
Main goal: Having material transfer capabilities across the MAL50 chambers, designed specifically to the customer’s needs, complying with GMP manufacturing processes.
Decontamination of material and equipment loads prior to use in Lonza’s gene therapy cleanroom environment
PBSC alongside Tecnilab-BMI who offer cutting-edge solutions for safe and efficient production facilities and high-quality care – based in the Netherlands, contributed to the constant success allowing Lonza to continue their journey to offer European cell and gene therapy manufacturing and support.
