Whitley A155 GMP Workstation

Don Whitley Scientific

Whitley A155 GMP Workstation

The Don Whitley Scientific A155 GMP Anaerobic Workstation is specifically designed to be used as a clean-air isolator in processes following Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This is the first Whitley GMP Workstation that allows two people to work in the chamber at same time. The A155 GMP Workstation provides Grade A air cleanliness (EU GMP) and combines sterile anaerobic uni-directional airflow, positive operating pressure, and physical isolation to provide highly effective product protection. Unlike traditional isolators that use inlet air from the surrounding room, this workstation is a fully closed recirculating system so can be housed in a Grade D cleanroom during GMP compliant use.

Each workstation is tested to ensure compliance with the relevant portions of ISO 14644-3. This will be of special interest to users conducting anaerobic processes that must comply with GMP requirements. In addition, tests carried out in our own laboratories confirm the integral HEPA filtered uni-directional airflow system meets the requirements set out in BS EN 12469:2000 with regard to protection of the working area from particulate and microbial contamination.

Don Whitley Scientific engineers are trained to carry out filter integrity (DOP) testing on HEPA filters. This allows us to provide full validation on Whitley GMP Anaerobic Workstations. Customers who work to GMP processes can rest assured that they don’t have to source their own external, specialist organisations to perform these important tests once their workstation has been installed. DWS has invested in the relevant equipment and training to provide this one-stop solution. Customers can have the confidence that their workstation has been tested by engineers who are fully trained in the operation and manufacture of Whitley Workstations.

This workstation is equipped with two integral airlocks (one at either side of the main workstation chamber) providing an ideal layout for a ‘production line’ style of working. Two sizes of airlock are available: 17.5 litres or 43 litres. These airlocks have been specifically designed to aid the transfer of serological pipettes into the workstation. Each 17.5 litre airlock is capable of accommodating 10 x 500ml Duran bottles and the internal dimensions are 197mm x 388mm x 190mm (W x D x H). The 43 litre airlocks (measuring 335 x 300 x 300mm) can each accommodate up to 20 x 500ml Duran bottles.

The patented oval glove ports provide maximum comfort when used over extended periods.

With internal working area dimensions of (w x d x h): 2200 x 750 x 620mm, there is a huge amount of working space inside the workstation chamber to house equipment such as centrifuges and homogenisers.

Example applications for this workstation include: faecal microbiota transplant; probiotics manufacture; bacteria manufacture; live biotherapeutics; biopharmaceuticals; and microbiome therapeutics.
