Barrier isolator technologies have made significant contributions to the advancement of aseptic processing and the increased level of sterility assurance. This article discusses why this is so and provides brief information about types of isolators, isolator attributes, isolator challenges, and considerations in isolator design, implementation, and validation.

For clean-room technologies such as isolators and restricted access barrier systems (RABS), decontamination using hydrogen peroxide (HO) is increasingly attractive to fulfill regulatory requirements. Several approaches are currently used, ranging from manual wipe disinfection to vapor phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) or automated nebulization sanitization. Although the residual airborne HO concentration can be easily monitored, detection of trace HO residues in filled products is rather challenging.

Objective: The efficacy of previously developed respiratory barrier enclosures to limit healthcare workers' exposure to aerosols from COVID-19 patients remains unclear; in addition, the design of these devices is unsuitable for transportation or other emergency procedures. Therefore, we developed a novel negative pressure respiratory isolator to improve protection from patient-generated aerosols and evaluated its protective effect in conversion to systemic isolator.
Methods: This in vitro study simulated droplets by nebulizing 1% glycerol + 99% ethanol solution.

The lack of safe and efficient hydrogen storage is a major bottleneck for large-scale application of hydrogen energy. Reversible hydrogen storage of light-weight metal hydrides with high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen density is one ideal solution but requires extremely high operating temperature with large energy input. Herein, taking MgH as an example, a concept is demonstrated to achieve solar-driven reversible hydrogen storage of metal hydrides via coupling the photothermal effect and catalytic role of Cu nanoparticles uniformly distributed on the surface of MXene nanosheets (Cu@MXene).

The human operator is acknowledged as the greatest potential source of contamination in aseptic processing. To avoid contamination, barrier systems have progressively reduced the amount of human intervention in the critical zone. This study extends the trajectory of enhanced patient safety through the elimination of human intervention in aseptic filling.

This study was conducted to investigate host-microbiota interactions and explore the effects of maternal gut microbiota transplantation on the growth and intestinal functions of newborns in a germ-free (GF) pig model. Twelve hysterectomy-derived GF Bama piglets were reared in 6 sterile isolators. Among them, 6 were considered as the GF group, and the other 6 were orally inoculated with healthy sow fecal suspension as fecal microbiota transplanted (FMT) group.
