Pharmaceutical Laboratory Design

Pharmaceutical laboratories play a critical role in the development, testing, and quality control of medicinal products. The design of a pharmaceutical laboratory must ensure a controlled environment, hygienic workflows, and full compliance with pharmaceutical industry regulations such as CPOB (Good Manufacturing Practices), GMP, GLP, and ISO/IEC 17025.

Key Elements in Pharmaceutical Laboratory Design

Clean Zoning and Layout

• Rooms are grouped by function: Microbiology, Physicochemical, Stability, R&D, and Quality Control (QC) Laboratories.
• Unidirectional flow for personnel and materials to prevent cross-contamination.
• Critical areas are separated by air pressure differentials and interlocking doors.

Controlled Environmental Conditions

• HVAC systems maintain temperature within ±2°C, humidity at 45–60% RH, and include HEPA filtration to ensure clean air quality, especially in microbiology and sampling areas.
• Real-time automated monitoring of temperature, humidity, and inter-room pressure.

Utility System Integration

• Laboratory gas installations (e.g., nitrogen, compressed air, vacuum) are distributed through pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel piping.
• Dedicated electrical and UPS systems support critical analytical instruments such as HPLC, UV-Vis, FTIR, and Dissolution Testers.

Material & Finishing Selection

• Work surfaces, walls, and flooring use chemical-resistant, non-porous, and easy-to-clean materials such as epoxy coatings, lab-grade HPL, and anti-static vinyl.
• Modular and ergonomic furniture design supports worker comfort and layout flexibility.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

• Facilities are equipped with fire detection and suppression systems, exhaust fans for chemical vapors, and digital documentation systems.
• Compliant with local and international regulations, including BPOM, FDA, EMA, and WHO GMP.
