Negative pressure weighing booths are core local isolation equipment in GMP pharmaceutical workshops. They prevent dust escape and cross-contamination during weighing, sampling, material splitting and sieving of high-potency drug powders, hormones, cytotoxic anti-tumor drugs and allergenic powders. Proper selection helps meet GMP regulations, operational safety, cleanroom validation and long-term operation & maintenance costs. Poor selection often leads to failed validation, powder leakage, frequent filter clogging and excessive personnel exposure. This article provides a practical selection framework covering user requirement specification (URS), core technical parameters, powder hazard classification, structural configuration, GMP compliance validation and common pitfalls.
