It is well known that there are many anti-cancer drugs that have dangerous properties for healthy people. It is critically important to protect the medical staff who handle anti-cancer drugs from such exposures while performing professional work. For this purpose, it is necessary to create a safe working environment through concrete visualization of the scattering condition. Shionogi Pharma's Anti-cancer Drug Exposure Investigation enables investigation and analysis matching your locations and situation, using our patented sampling sheet method, as well as wipe method and extraction method.
Video of Measurement Method can be seen in the following page.
It is a simple procedure that you attach a triple layer adhesive sampling sheet to the location that needs investigation and peel off after a certain period of time. The time when the sheet is attached is set as zero and the relationship between amount of anti-cancer drugs handled and contamination levels are evaluated. This is the most suitable measurement method for front-back comparison, such as evaluation before and after the installation of closed system equipment.
Drip the wiping agent onto a cloth wipe (cotton) and wipe the location to be measured. Place the wipe cloth in dedicated zippered bag. We will then conduct quantitative analysis to determine the residual amount. It is an ideal measurement method for the purpose of confirming the validity of current cleaning procedure numerically or using as starting value of exposure investigation.
We can directly investigate various PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in use. This investigation measures any scattered residue on gloves, gowns and shoe covers etc. Please pack the used PPE into the zippered bag and we will analyze them directly.
We determine the level of specified drugs contained in saliva and urine collected from medical staff who handle anti-cancer drugs. It is an ideal measurement method to conduct periodic monitoring of medical staff to ensure their health management.
We collect a small amount (about 10ml) in a sampling container and measure.
Drug to be investigated: Cyclophosphamide, Platinum-based drugs
*Please note that for each drug under 30 samples each, we conduct analysis when total sample number is 30 when combined with other sample requests.
We measure from a small collected amount (about 10ml) in a sampling container.
Drug to be investigated: Cyclophosphamide, Platinum-based drugs
*Please note that for each drug under 5 samples each, we conduct analysis when total sample number is 30 when combined with other sample requests.
We conduct evaluation of various products using actual anti-cancer drugs. We can also use placebo for evaluation to allow for safe handling.
By measuring the anti-cancer drug exposure before and after using inactivation cleaning agent, it is possible to evaluate the performance of cleaning agents for effectiveness for inactivation.
