Products
Flexible isolator (glovebag)
Film-based isolator providing a confined workspace with glove sleeves for manual operations; available in multiple sizes and with framed or inflatable supports.
Inflatable-frame isolator
Rapid-deploy isolator using an inflatable support frame for quick setup and teardown in short-term containment campaigns.
Portable framed isolator
Portable film isolator with wire or rigid frame support for mobile or temporary containment tasks and cart-mounted mobility.
Continuous liner system for drum filling
Continuous polyethylene liner systems designed to maintain containment during drum-to-drum dispensing and multi-drum filling operations.
Material component kits (films, gloves, zippers, seals)
Supply of containment components including film variants, industrial gloves, heavy-duty zippers, and sealing o-rings, accompanied by material data sheets and compatibility guidance.

Services
Initial consultation to define containment requirements, space constraints, utility needs, and regulatory considerations to inform custom design.
Design services covering materials selection, pressure zoning, access sleeves, sealed pass-throughs, docking interfaces, and integration with existing equipment and utilities; a design fee is included in final quotes.
Fabrication and supply of disposable or campaign-duration isolators, liners, framed enclosures, glove-sleeves, and related film components; components are assembled and tested prior to shipment with typical custom manufacturing lead time of six to eight weeks.
Field installation, commissioning, and training of client personnel in correct installation, use, and basic maintenance procedures for flexible containment systems.
Design and execution support for statistically robust environmental monitoring (air sampling, settling plates, spike/blank controls, particle counting) and containment performance verification to support regulatory submissions and operational decisions.
Coordination with third-party sterilization providers for non-destructive electron-beam dosing of flexible containment items and issuance of irradiation certificates.
