Another ILC innovation in the area of flexible containment is the design of the advanced crimping system. This approach replaces the twist-tie-tape and cut method of contained separation of sample sleeves and liners and offers the following benefits:
- Single person operation – increased productivity
- Repeatable, contained separation
- FDA materials
- Support cGMP operations
Specific Key Advantages of the original contained crimp design include:
- Rounded, conformal edges instead of sharp puncture points
- Integral cap provides cover to cut end for added safety
- Third party, independent exposure monitoring to SMEPAC protocols showed nanogram OEL results on a task basis is possible. (Testing performed on production systems using lactose as the surrogate and trained personnel)
