How to Clean a Biosafety Cabinet
10 Easy steps to cleaning a contaminated surface in the biosafety cabinet. The biosafety cabinet is a laboratory workspace that ensures safety and cleanliness for both the person operating in the cleanroom as well as the products or materials being handled in the cleanroom. The biosafety cabinet creates a safe environment for working with drugs, chemicals or hazardous materials.
Feeding Systems Deliver Continuous Production
The feeding systems are a key part of the new continuous production concept. At Pfizer, the compact arrangement of pharmaceutical feeders supplied by Coperion K-Tron accurately deliver ingredients into the continuous mixing process, thereby guaranteeing consistent and very high quality end products.
Fill-Finish Facility Expansion
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE:EBS) today announced the beginning of a $50 million expansion to the company’s Camden fill/finish facility located in Baltimore, Md. The multi-year expansion is expected to be completed in 2021, and will significantly increase the company’s contract development and manufacturing capacity, redundancy, and flexibility.
Wireless Implantable Medical Devices
MIT researchers, working with scientists from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, have developed a new way to power and communicate with devices implanted deep within the human body. Such devices could be used to deliver drugs, monitor conditions inside the body, or treat disease by stimulating the brain with electricity or light.
Fujifilm Acquires Irvine Scientific
Fujifilm acquires Irvine Scientific to maximize their synergy in its significant and growing bio-medical businesses. FujiFilm expects increased demand and needs of biopharmaceutical products and regenerative medicine therapy and is driving current rapid growth of the cell culture media market and estimates continued strong growth in the coming years.
Hospital Superbug Infects Medical Devices
The antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacterium is one of the most globally harmful bacteria that causes nosocomial infections. Researchers at the University of Turku have discovered that the bacterium attaches to plastic medical devices using tiny finger-like structures. The researchers were able to develop antibodies that prevent the bacterial spread. Infections related to hospitals and medical devices form major healthcare problems worldwide. These infections are associated with the ability of pathogens to colonise both biotic and abiotic surfaces.
Sterile Manufacturing Facility Acquisition by Avara Pharmaceutical Services
Avara Pharmaceutical Services, a world-class contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that it has agreed to acquire the largest sterile manufacturing facility for injectable medicines in Canada from a leading global pharmaceutical company, as part of a continuing expansion of its global footprint.
Nanoparticles Fight Brain Cancer
Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors. Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor, is one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Only a handful of drugs are approved to treat glioblastoma, and the median life expectancy for patients diagnosed with the disease is less than 15 months.
Microscale Diamonds for Medical Devices
Team led by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley researchers exploits tiny defects in diamonds to pave the way for enhanced biological imaging and drug studies. An international team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley discovered how to exploit defects in nanoscale and microscale diamonds to strongly enhance the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems while eliminating the need for their costly and bulky superconducting magnets.
Boron Nitride Nanotubes New Nano Building Block
Boron nitride nanotubes, like their carbon cousins, are rolled sheets of hexagonal arrays. Unlike carbon nanotubes, they’re electrically insulating hybrids made of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. Insulating nanotubes that can be functionalized will be a valuable building block for nanoengineering projects, Martí said. “
Polio Vaccine New Single Injection Approach
To create a single-injection vaccine, the MIT team encapsulated the inactivated polio vaccine in a biodegradable polymer known as PLGA. This polymer can be designed to degrade after a certain period of time, allowing the researchers to control when the vaccine is released.
Quantum Dots Destroy Lung Cancer Cells
Nanoparticles derived from tea leaves inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells, destroying up to 80% of them, new research by a joint Swansea University and Indian team has shown. The team made the discovery while they were testing out a new method of producing a type of nanoparticle called quantum dots. These are tiny particles which measure less than 10 nanometres. A human hair is 40,000 nanometres thick.

Pharmaceutical Cleanroom News and Advancements
The Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Industry or medicine industry is the commercial industry that discovers, develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals for various uses and formations of medicines and medications. The pharmaceutical cleanroom industry produces the controlled aseptic cleanroom environments where by the pharmaceutical products are created and packaged. Pharmaceutical companies create a various array of products for different applications.
The primary developments of Pharmaceutical companies are generic medications, branded pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The pharmaceutical companies are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that govern the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and marketing of drugs.
