Hosokawa Micron's Flexible Compact Isolator (FCI) glove box system is a one-person plug and play workstation, which can easily be moved around the laboratory or process room to where it is required.
The FCI has a 1m x 0.5m footprint and is available with a range of canopy options including rigid, semi-rigid or disposable designs that fit onto a stainless steel base unit. Customers may wish to have more than one canopy per base unit to increase the unit’s flexibility in use.
Individual modules can be linked to create a pod system with individual activities contained in separate units. Multiple linked configurations can offer a cost-effective operation for companies where the handling of hazardous powders is infrequent or when investment in a dedicated static isolator is not appropriate.
The FCI is suitable for companies involved in scientific research, biotechnology or pharmaceutical development and it ensures a high level of product and personnel protection across a range of applications. One unit can be used for several different processes and the user friendly ergonomic design has all round high visibility and has been independently tested to 1µg/m³.
Various options of the FCI are available tailored to suit customer requirements including air handling systems, CIP system, filtration and rapid transfer ports, nitrogen inertion, flexible glove port configuration and hazardous area systems.
