Cross Over Bench

As per WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for aseptic manufacturing processes, a Cross-Over-Bench is an essential cleanroom furniture designed to separate different garment change procedures. It’s a physical barrier placed at the entry and exit points of two different classified areas; and often placed in change rooms to ensure no personnel can gain access to a controlled environment without following a proper gowning protocol.

Cross Over Benches from Alpha Linear typically have shelves to safely store all the unclean footwear, and outside garments worn by authorized personnel entering changerooms. Depending on the type, design and configuration, storage shelves can also be provided for dispensing sterile disposable gloves, PPE articles like masks, headcaps, shoe-covers etc. Cross Over Benches are widely used in sterile manufacturing sites including pharmaceuticals, aseptic packing, packaged food, microelectronics, semiconductor etc.
