Troax creates UK cleanroom for Patheon

Published: 28-Jul-2009

Troax UK has provided the partitioning within the pharmaceutical testing complex at Patheon, a global provider of drug development and manufacturing services. Built using Troax’s Toledo partitioning, the unit is located within Patheon’s Milton Park facility in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

The 1,250m2 facility focuses on early phase development services, which aim to bring pharmaceutical projects to clinical trials as quickly as possible. The site includes fully equipped formulation and analytical laboratories in addition to areas for the GMP manufacture of clinical trial materials for Phase I/II trials.

Patheon needed a high specification partitioning system to ensure a controlled cleanroom environment for testing pharmaceutical products. To provide this high standard of construction, contractor Alpha Office Interiors specified Troax’s Toledo cleanroom partitioning system.

Swindon-based Troax used the modular steel partitioning to create the 300m2 cleanroom complex, which is sub-divided into a number of smaller test areas. Double-glazed Toledo panels have also been incorporated into the design to create a light and airy working environment.

The Toledo system is of a steel, monobloc construction and uses an inert and non-particle shedding infill finish. To prevent the collection of particles and ensure easy to clean, smooth surfaces, Toledo is coated in powder paint and has a two-line panel junction and flush line double glazing, resulting in minimal ledges, corners and flush surfaces.

“We needed a high quality partitioning system to provide the required cleanroom conditions for Patheon’s pharmaceutical testing processes,” said Kevin Jackson at Alpha Office Interiors. “Troax’s Toledo system met Patheon’s requirements exactly and they are very happy with their new cleanroom complex.”
