- Fact of Dynamic Pass Box:
- A dynamic pass box is an enclosed anteroom used to transfer materials between two controlled environments, typically of different classifications, while minimizing the risk of contamination between the two areas. It is commonly used in quality control (QC) laboratories to transfer materials between, for example:
- A cleanroom and a non-cleanroom area
- Two cleanrooms with different classifications (e.g., ISO 7 and ISO 5)
- A quarantine area and a non-quarantine area
- How it works:
- A dynamic pass box has two interlocked doors, one on each side. When one door is open, the other door is automatically locked, preventing direct contact between the two environments. The pass box is equipped with a HEPA filter and a blower system that creates a positive pressure environment inside the box. This positive pressure helps to prevent contaminants from entering the cleaner environment from the less clean environment.
- Benefits of using a dynamic pass box in QC:
- Reduces the risk of contamination: By minimizing the transfer of airborne contaminants between different environments, dynamic pass boxes help to protect the integrity of your products and processes.
- Improves efficiency: Dynamic pass boxes can help to improve workflow by providing a quick and easy way to transfer materials between different areas.
- Protects personnel: Dynamic pass boxes can help to protect personnel from exposure to potentially hazardous materials.
