Enhancing Safety in the Workplace: Automated Powder Dosing of Hazardous Compounds
There is a great awareness within the pharmaceutical industry regarding the hazards involved in handling active drug compounds. One specific hazard is that of exposure to airborne contaminants, encountered during dispensing and handling procedures due to the way in which the analyst works with a balance.
Automated powder dosing offers superior protection for the analyst compared to manual dosing. Register for our upcoming webinar to find out more.
Abstract:
The continual development of new drug compounds means that analysts come into contact with potent drug compounds on an increasingly regular basis. Open bench weighing (weighing without the use of an enclosure system) is not recommended for active drug compounds and it is standard industry practice to enclose the weighing process if an active or potent drug is to be handled.
This 30 minute webinar will describe how implementing automated powder dosing into your workflow can enhance safety for the analysts. During the webinar we will discuss:
- employers obligations and current legislation relating to occupational / permissible exposure limits in a laboratory environment
- how automated powder dosing reduces the risks involved in handling active and potent drug compounds
- additional safety advantages gained by using containment technologies
- methods and tools for the analyst to enable easy-access dosing in a safety enclosure / glove box
These topics will be supported by data and examples to show the measured levels of airborne contaminants encountered in the various examples discussed.
Interactive:
At the end of this online seminar, there will be an interactive Q&A session providing you with the opportunity to ask questions relevant to your particular application, featuring our guest expert, Sean Codling from a1 Safetech, a leading provider of containment technologies to the Pharmaceutical industry.
