GMP Landing Page
GMP capable isolator providing sterile laminar airflow under strict anaerobic conditions.
These workstations are ideal for a range of applications such as fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), live biotherapeutics, manufacture of probiotics, biopharmaceuticals and microbiome therapeutics.
An optional HEPA Filtered Airlock is also available, which includes the incorporation of a H14 HEPA filter to ensure 100% reduction in airborne particulate in the airlock over the course of the cycle. This ensures Grade A particulate counts in the main chamber are not compromised.
Each workstation is tested to ensure compliance with the relevant portions of ISO 14644-3. In addition, tests carried out in our own laboratories confirm the integral HEPA filtered laminar flow system meets the requirements set out in BS EN 12469:2000 with regard to protection of the working area from particulate and microbial contamination.
Applications include therapeutic products requiring controlled atmospheric conditions (anaerobic/hypoxic) for manufacture:
GMP range of workstations are validated to be 99.9997% efficient in a single pass with an H14 filter.
This is the only product providing atmospheric condition control and unidirectional flow.
Laminar Flow HEPA Filtration
Operational particulate counts are kept low even when large amounts of particulate is generated.
Benefits of a GMP Isolator Workstation
Isolator: All-In-One Approach
The air classification required for the background environment depends on design of the isolator and its application. It should be controlled and for aseptic processing it should be at least grade D.

Whitley Incubation Box
Click image to enlarge
New from Don Whitley Scientific is the rectangular, transparent and stackable anaerobic ‘jar’. It can be used to create the perfect environmental conditions for the isolation and cultivation of anaerobic and microaerobic organisms, and for cell culture applications.
Whitley Incubation Boxes were designed specifically to be stacked on top of each other inside an incubator or on the bench, saving valuable space. The main box (without the lid in place and with no samples inside) can be nested with other empty boxes so that work in progress takes up minimal space.
Whitley Incubation Box will accommodate either 12-14 x 90mm Petri dishes or 5 x standard multi-well plates. The four latches used to open and close the box are attached to the lid so there are no loose parts to misplace.
The Whitley Incubation Box may be used to transfer items into and out of a Whitley Workstation. Whitley Incubation Box has been designed to fit through the 35-sized airlock and every larger Whitley airlock. This application is ideal when you want to move samples from one workstation to another and when you want to preserve your samples in modified atmospheric conditions while they continue to grow in an external incubator.
The design of the Whitley Incubation Box includes a safety valve, which ensures an appropriate level of vacuum is achieved without damaging the box itself. It is durable and lightweight and can be used to create multiple atmospheres.
Features
- Accommodates both Petri dishes and multi-well plates.
- Both lids and bases can be nested for storage.
- Flexibility to create different atmospheric conditions.
- Latches are permanently attached to the lid so there are no loose parts to misplace.
- Completed boxes can be stacked on top of each other for incubation.
- Rectangular shape saves space in the incubator.
- Includes a safety valve to ensure an appropriate level of vacuum is achieved without damaging the box itself.
- Durable and lightweight.

Automated humidity control with no user maintenance
The GMP Workstation exceeds the requirements of Grade A air cleanliness (EU GMP) and ISO 14644-1 Class 3 both at rest and in operation.
Rapid, built-in transfer airlock
Internal storage shelf
Dual gas operation and automatic commissioning cycle
Constructed from 10mm thick annealed acrylic, most robust chambers available
Tangential fans create laminar flow in chamber, internal atmosphere is constantly being circulated over catalyst, Anotox, and heating mat for a consistent and strictly anaerobic environment
A135: 560 liter work space capacity
No requirement to bake catalyst, simply replace catalyst and Anotox annually
Chamber can be used for microaerophilic incubation, simply remove Anotox and catalyst and connect pre-mixed gas tank
Touch screen interface to control all chamber settings, can be password protected
Double internal power socket, 2 Amp max
- Trolley
- Our custom-designed trolley frees up bench space and allows the chamber to be moved. The trolleys are built with high quality tubular steel and smooth rolling lockable wheels. They offer a sturdy and stable frame to support your use of our anaerobic and microaerophilic workstations.
