another through a system of tunnels. The researchers used special techniques
to transfer the solutions to other units in the facility (vacuum transfers, transfers
via packaging). To perform these transfers, they had to go to the “rear” of the
shielded process line. A face mask was required during transfers of active
solutions. The unit was also equipped with gloveboxes located above the
shielded process line. The gloves in which the researchers placed their hands
served as a containment barrier to protect them from the solutions being
manipulated. To transfer solutions among the unit’s ...
