Pharmaceutical: Injectables
.jpg)
Injectable products (e.g. vials, syringes, prefilled devices) are manufactured under strict aseptic and sterile conditions. Key process steps and equipment include:
- Compounding / Buffer Preparation: mixing under clean conditions, sterile filtration, and controlled transfer to formulation or fill lines
- Filtration & Sterile Filtration: using membrane filters (e.g. 0.2 µm) to remove particulates and microorganisms under containment
- Filling, Sealing & Capping: sterile filling of vials or syringes, sealing or capping components in a contained environment
- Lyophilization (Freeze-Drying): freeze-drying of filled vials in a controlled chamber, often integrated with isolators
- Inspection & Sterility Testing Environments: microbiological or culture-based sterility testing performed inside test isolators
- Decontamination / Transfer Modules: isolator-based external decontamination showers, sterilant pass boxes, transfer ports for aseptic material movement
Sterile injectable manufacturing demands containment both to preserve aseptic conditions and to protect the environment and operators (especially when potent biologics or APIs are involved). Barrier isolators maintain controlled pressure differentials, HEPA / ULPA filtration, interlocked pass boxes, and safe-change filters, while enabling clean, validated workflows. Critical attributes include:
- Positive-pressure isolation (to protect product) or negative zones (for potent substances)
- Sterilizable interiors (VHP, SIP, CIP compatible)
- Safe-change filter modules and quick maintenance access
- Pass-through ports (e.g. rapid transfer ports, buffer ports) with interlock control
- Automation / PLC / HMI integration for control, alarms, and data logging
Schematic Engineering Industries offers a full spectrum of isolators and ancillary systems to support sterile and injectable operations. Their product portfolio addresses every critical stage of an injectable line. Highlighted product families include:

- Automated pressure testing (e.g. to ISO 10648) and safety interlocks
- Sterilizable configurations (e.g. VHP compatibility, CIP, WIP)
- Ergonomic glove port arrangements, split glove designs, and half-suit options
- Interlocked transfer ports (RTP, buffer ports) and decon showers for safe material movement
- Filter safe-change modules (HEPA/ULPA) and differential pressure monitoring
- Integration with upstream/downstream equipment (sterile filters, filling machines, lyophilizers)
