Pass Through for clean rooms what is it?
A stainless steel pass through for clean rooms , also known as a pass box, clean room window or pass through hatch, is an essential piece of equipment in controlled environments. But its main function is to allow the transfer of materials between clean and sterile areas, ensuring that the process is carried out safely and without risk of cross-contamination.
This type of equipment is widely used in hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries, because it always aims to preserve the integrity of the environment and meet the requirements of regulatory bodies such as the Health Surveillance Agency. As such, the use of pass through is mandatory in some clean rooms.
Where can cleanroom pass-throughs be used?
- Hospitals, such as operating rooms, ICUs and sterilization centers;
- Clinical analysis laboratories, which require absolute rigor when handling samples;
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, where sterility is essential;
- Food and beverage industries, guaranteeing hygiene and safety in production;
- Cosmetics industries, which require contamination control; and
- Research and development centers, which need to safely transfer materials between areas.
What are the benefits of the Stainless Steel Pass Through?
Installing a stainless steel pass-through has several advantages:
- Because it controls contamination: it prevents unnecessary movement of people between clean areas.
- Safety: because it prevents external particles from entering the environment.
- Practicality: it facilitates the transportation of inputs, samples and materials. So it’s a quick and safe process
- Durability: stainless steel guarantees resistance, easy cleaning and a long service life.
