Environmental Monitoring in Isolators

IsoBag® Rapid Transfer Bags optimize your environmental monitoring workflow

Mount gamma-irradiated contact or settle plates directly to your isolator without prior decontamination. IsoBag® rapid transfer bags enhance the environmental monitoring workflow in aseptic production isolators by ensuring the fast and safe transfer of contact and settle plates. These unique transportation and packaging bags are mounted directly to the alpha port of the isolator, keeping the plates readily available for use without occupying extra space within the isolator. This eliminates the need for decontamination cycles before introducing plates, saving time, and reducing costs.

  • Beta Port Compatibility that connects to any 190 mm DPTE® Alpha port.
