Dispensing and Sampling are two operations that encompass a world within and beyond. We want to tell you the story of a recent installation where our Group was involved on multiple fronts.
Why Dispensing and Sampling from the ground up? Because when we installed the machines in the spacious and comfortable areas that would house them, we were aware that we were nurturing a project born in-house and would follow it through to delivery. While CSV Life Science was designing the environments where our isolators would operate, we were already involved with our engineering colleagues, considering spaces, positions, and ergonomics.
A Continuous Dialogue.
CSV Containment’s team communicated with Group colleagues and the client to offer operators the best possible working experience. The isolators themselves also communicate with certain systems within the client’s plant, such as the CIP system and the management system related to the recipes being prepared.
For instance, with Cleaning in Place, the washing of the chambers via spray ball is closely linked to the product that has been handled. From the isolator’s control panel, it is possible to obtain dedicated information for the appropriate washing cycle. Water temperature, washing time, and specific solvents are predefined and can be recalled by the operator, thanks to the communication between the machine and the plant, which will follow the “recipe” providing all the useful characteristics for washing. Operators also have spray guns with water for washing and air for drying. Moreover, a conductivity probe helps determine if solvent is still present in the drained water or if further rinsing of the chambers is required.
