A bold move to handle HPAPIs

Abstract

Amadeo Ferreira, R&D Manager at Minakem, explains the design of its new manufacturing plant in Belgium featuring a containment strategy that protects both the product and the staff […]

Risk management was the key priority during the lab design phase. According to Ferreira, to assess containment in a lab environment, Minakem evaluated two approaches.

“A conservative approach would entail fitting lab suites with glove boxes where every chemical step would be conducted inside the air-tight chamber,” Ferreira says, adding that glove boxes are very well suited for high-risk environments”. […]
