If manufacturers rely on suppliers or external materials for the production of pharmaceuticals and implants, the use of a so-called Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS) is possible. These ensure a highly pure working environment, in which interventions are only possible through permanently installed gloves. All materials are introduced into the work area via an airlock system, guaranteeing an undisturbed manufacturing process. (Source: bc-technology GmbH)
