Positive & Negative containment solutions ensuring utmost protection of product, personnel and environment

Design, Construction and Commissioning - HVAX specialises in the containment of airborne particles often present when handling drug compounds in Pharma, Biotech and allied applications, and has a team that has years of experience in the supply of proven containment solutions.

Containment Basics

Containment has become an extremely important aspect of every production process. With Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) becoming ever more effective and powerful, with more than 50% of all new chemical entities (NCEs) being classified as potent (OEL <10 μg/m3); at the same time, the health and protection of operators, all over the world, is being put under an increasingly powerful limelight. Searching through the Navigating the network of available hardware manufacturers and many containment methods has made it more difficult to select the most appropriate equipment that keeps the product, personnel and environment safe.

The manufacturing of oncology drugs, hormonal products and / or other highly potent combinations needs specific attention: it is vital to avoid exposure of the operators to the drug as well as prevent the cross-contamination of other products manufactured in the same facility.
