This presentation is based on Lysfjord/Porter global survey data from 1998-2010 and 2012 for Isolators and 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 for RABS. Data will be presented from a global perspective with interesting breakout for Asia, Europe and North America. Data will show companies who really embrace barrier technology. Trends will be presented for line speeds, container types, gloves, campaigns, and containment

Could be considered as realistic process the Continuous Process Validation? How the batch manufacturing can be considered as a continuous process rather than a discrete process?
