New guide to pharmaceutical isolators published by the Pharmaceutical Press
 New from the Pharmaceutical Press, the publications division of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, is a guide to pharmaceutical isolators.
‘Pharmaceutical isolators: a guide to their application, design
and control’ sets
out new guidance on the design, construction, commissioning, maintenance,
use and monitoring of isolators. It is a consensus document prepared
by the isolator working party of the UK NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance
Committee. The working party consisted of experts representing manufacturers,
users, quality assurance specialists and regulators.
The book is edited by pharmacist Brian Midcalf (assistant pharmaceutical
technology and quality assurance course director,
school of continuing education, University of Leeds), with Mitchell Phillips
(West Midlands quality assurance pharmacist), John Neiger (chairman,
Envair Ltd) and Tim Coles (isolator specialist, GRC Consultants).
The Pharmaceutical Press says that the new book will be an indispensable
guide for both experienced and new users of pharmaceutical isolator technology,
as well as a valuable reference source for auditors, inspectors and all
those involved in standard setting and monitoring.
