Gelatin capsules require varying relative humidities, depending upon size of capsule. Moisture content should not exceed 0.25 gr pier cu ft. Various kinds of gelatin require different temperatures.
Penicillin incubation process requires, .holding temperature within i deg F, with temperatures and hu midity rigidly controlled during all manufacturing phases.
Ampule filling requires a 20 percent relative humidity when especially fine powders aroused.:
Uncoated tablet manufacturing requires accurate control of temperature'mid relative humidity, since low relative humidity causes formation of a hard outer layer, and high relative humidity retards drying at the proper rate.
Liver extracts require a low relative humidity after they are dried. Temperatures higher than 80 F will
cause the extracts to deteriorate.
'
Tablet coating requires the control of the temperatures of all ingredients and the temperature of air in
troduced to coating pans.

Sterile conditions are essential in many pharmaceutical processes. Provide suitable air exhaust to re move surplus material from tablet compressing machine.
Air filtration is generally required, with positive air filtration in some areas.

Maximum ventilation is required for laying quarters during the summer months, while an attempt is made to maintain a temperature 10 deg above or below outdoor temperature during the winter, to miwwiM condensation on the exterior walls. This applies to houses not having forced ventilation systems.
