The new device is a modular system made to integrate into isolators or RABS, using an external controller and remotely located air mover.
Cherwell Laboratories, an environmental monitoring and process validation solutions supplier based in the United Kingdom, will unveil the new ImpactAir ISO-90 Monitoring Platform, a modular system made to integrate into isolators or restricted access barrier systems (RABS), using an external controller and remotely located air mover, according to an Oct. 29, 2019 press release.
The new model can be constructed in almost any orientation using standard or custom-made connections, according to the release. It comes equipped with a chamber for 90-mm agar plates and a slit-to-agar sampling method for efficient results. Additionally, the low D50 value and long sampling period makes the device suitable for continuous monitoring.
“We are really excited about the latest developments from Pinpoint and feel the ImpactAir ISO-90 will address a key requirement within pharma EM [environmental monitoring],” said Andy Whittard, managing director at Cherwell, in the press release. “That is to achieve higher sample volume within grade A environments and minimize risk in these critical zones. Further developments to the ISO-90 range promise to make installation within existing facilities easy.”
The company will present the new platform at Pharmig’s 27th Annual Conference from Nov. 13–14 at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel in the United Kingdom.

Diving Deep into Carrier-Based Formulation and Process Optimization
December 23rd 2024Carrier-based formulations for dry powder inhalers are carefully designed to transport extremely small particles into the lungs. Jet milling can be used to micronize these particles, with both high and low shear mixing processes used to formulate mixtures capable of carrying the fine API particles into the deep lung. This paper looks at the requirements for pulmonary delivery via carrier-based inhaled powder formulations, and how jet milling can be used to manufacture effective and stable materials for these formulations
