General Processing Platform Isolator (GPPI)
Esco Pharma's General Processing Platform Isolator (GPPI) is a highly adaptable, unidirectional laminar airflow isolator that can be used for sterility testing or other processes that require an ISO Class 5 (Grade A) aseptic environment. The GPPI’s advanced control system allows the operator to select either positive or negative chamber pressure as well as single pass or recirculating airflow patterns.
These features, along with the ability to perform safe change procedures on the supply and return ULPA filters, make the GPPI a highly versatile isolator that can be used for potent or non-potent aseptic materials.
In addition, the Esco GPPI’s design offers over 20 standard options and configurations ensuring that Esco can provide a standard solution to fit your specific process and facility requirements. Should a standard option not fit your requirements Esco can offer customized solutions as well.
Fully welded SS316L internal chambers with rounded coved corners
Optional on-board exhaust catalytic convertor allows exhaust into the surrounding room without modifications to the facility and fitted with an interlocked external H2O2 sensor for safety
Optional on-board air compressor eliminates the requirement for a site supplied compressed air connection, which allows for the installation of a simple plug-in of electrical power
Product is designed with FDA-approved hydraulic liquid that not only allows the user to raise and lower for optimal ergonomics but also enables ease of transport through a variety of doorway and ceiling heights
Self-contained design of control system & electrics allow for simple, plug-in installation
Integrated particle monitoring connections and optional inclusion of the viable and non-viable monitoring equipment
Automated pressure hold test
Pre-Programmed system to function with multiple H2O2 system options
Standard design incorporates cGMP compliant features; with the inclusion of an optional chart recorder or printer the GPPI will meet the data handling requirements for 21 CFR Part 11 requirements
Safe change glove system allows the changing of gloves while maintaining aseptic conditions inside of the chambers
