The embodiments include a plant for the preparation of drugs. A casing defining at least one storage chamber in communication with at least one preparation chamber by a passage opening is provided. A compartment in the storage chamber is configured to receive a plurality of base components suitable for containing substances for the preparation of drugs. A manipulator is housed in the preparation chamber and configured to define a loading condition. The manipulator takes at least one base component from the compartment and positions it in the preparation chamber. The manipulator is configured to combine substances contained in the base components brought into the preparation chamber to form at least one finished product containing a drug. The plant includes a control unit configured to command the rotation of the component, the loading position to the manipulator, and the working condition to the manipulator for the preparation of the finished product.

A handling system (10) for a cleanroom (64), a cleanroom (64) having such a handling system (10), and a method for lifting off cover layers (16).

The present invention is to provide an industrial robot, which is placed in vacuum for use, capable of efficiently cooling down hand- or arm-driving motors which are arranged inside the arm in air. The industrial robot is provided with a motor for rotating a second arm unit with respect to a first arm unit, a motor for rotating a hand with respect to the second arm unit, a reduction gear for reducing the rotation of the motor and transmitting it to the second arm unit, and a reduction gear for reducing the rotation of the motor and transmitting it to the hand; the hand and the arm are placed in vacuum. The reduction gears and are coaxially arranged so that the center of rotation of the second arm unit with respect to the first arm unit coincides with the axial centers of the reduction gears. The interior space of the hollow first arm unit is kept at atmospheric pressure in which the motors and the reduction gears are arranged.

The invention relates to a portable clean room for filling at least one medicine container, located in the clean room with at least one active substance, wherein: the clean room is enclosed in an airtight manner by an at least partially flexible shell, the shell has at least one active substance connection region which can be opened, and a manipulation device and at least one medicine container are located in the clean room. According to the invention, the shell has at least one actuation connection region, wherein the manipulation device has at least one filling device which can be coupled to the active substance connection region for introducing at least one active substance into the at least one medicine container arranged in the clean room, and the manipulation device can be actuated by means of an actuation device via the actuation connection region of the shell, and is designed to displace the filling devicerelative to the at least one medicine containerand/or to actuate the filling device.

Provided is a cell treatment apparatus that includes: an isolator; a disposal box that includes a storage part; and a decontamination unit, wherein the disposal box includes: a first opening and closing device that is configured to allow the isolator and the storage part to be communicated with each other at the time of disposal of the waste product and allow them to be shut off from each other after the putting-in of the waste product and before the disposal of the same; and a second opening and closing device that is configured to allow the storage part and the outside to be communicated with each other at the time of disposal of the waste product, which has been put into the storage part, and allow them to be shut off from each other after the disposal of the waste product.

A cell treatment apparatus includes: a treatment chamber that is configured to treat cells; trays that are each configured to house containers for use in the treatment of cells in the treatment chamber, while positioning them; a gripping mechanism that is configured to grip and move at least one kind of the containers housed in each of the trays within the treatment chamber; and a container correct/incorrect determining apparatus that includes a storage device that is configured to prestore given postures of the containers relative to the each corresponding tray, an imaging device that is configured to image the containers arranged in the tray, and a determining device that is configured to determine whether the postures of the containers relative to the tray that are stored in the storage device are matched with postures of the containers relative to the tray that have been imaged by the imaging device.

An autoteach system includes an autoteach pin that is a scannable feature having a fixed position within the autoteach system. The autoteach pin enables an autoteach operation of a robot arm of the wafer processing system. The autoteach operation is an operation to automatically teach the fixed position within the autoteach system to the robot arm of the wafer processing system. The autoteach pin includes a first portion including a cylindrical sidewall. The robot arm is to use the first portion to locate the fixed position within the autoteach system. The autoteach portion further includes a second portion including planar sidewalls that are configured to enable calibration of robot arm error.

A machine for the preparation of pharmaceutical products in a sterile environment, including at least two stations of a line for preparing pharmaceutical products and automatic transport means for containers of pharmaceutical products, wherein the machine includes a robot positioned inside the machine and robot control means, the robot being a robotic arm which includes movement means for accessing the stations of the machine.

A movable manipulator assembly for manipulating an article in a controlled environment chamber, including a support for attaching the manipulator assembly in a gas tight manner to an entry port of a controlled environment chamber and externally with respect to the chamber, a ball joint including a central passage, sealingly seated in the support, for permitting three axis movement of the manipulator assembly while maintaining a gas seal, a manipulator arm extending from the ball joint externally with respect to the chamber, the arm including a central passage aligned with the central passage of the ball joint, the arm further including a closable entry port through which the central passage of the manipulator arm can be accessed, and a gimbaled bearing assembly connected to the manipulator arm for three axis movement of the arm.

The system comprising containment equipment is intended for the aseptic transfer of a powder, namely for emptying a container filled with powder into a collection container and/or for filling a container with powder from a storage container. The containment equipment has a working chamber surrounded by a housing. A robot is installed in the containment equipment, having an arm arrangement that moves over a pivot range. If there is a collection container it has an inlet leading from the working chamber, and if there is a storage container it has an outlet leading off into the working chamber. The container can be closed at least with a first closure element. A transfer head is mounted at the inlet into the collection container and/or at the outlet of the storage container, each protruding into the working chamber. The passive part forms the double flap together with an active part contained in the transfer head.
