| Barrier Technology | The technology of using separating environments, whether protecting the world from a product or the product from the world. Containment, barrier isolation and isolation all refer to the same technology, which is enclosing an environment. There are, however, some redefining terms that are gaining favor: 1. Containment - protect the world from the product (as in the case of highly potent compounds or a toxic). 2. Isolation - protect the product from the world (as in the case of a sterile product). 3. ISO 14644-7 "Minienvironments and Isolators" will define further levels of devices |
