If you’re working with products that can’t handle dust or dirt, you already know you need super clean air. And that’s exactly what class 100 cleanrooms are for. It keeps tiny particles out, so your work stays safe. In this article, we’ll break down what...
Class 1000 cleanrooms are built to meet particle count limits in many industries, and correspond to ISO Class 6 in the current standard system. In this article, we will define class 1000 cleanrooms, discuss where they’re used, outline some of their requirements and features, and...
Over- or under-engineering a cleanroom can either raise costs carelessly or put compliance at risk. When planning to build a cleanroom (or making a checklist), there are many factors to consider, and one of the most important is whether to use a softwall or hardwall...
Given the COVID-19 outbreak and its ramifications, it’s no secret that labs are important for studying and containing dangerous pathogens. But they also need to keep the outside world safe, too. So whether you're building a research lab, a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, or need to meet...
Before creating any cleanroom, whether for manufacturing or research, you’ll need to know how clean the space ought to be, or at least which particles (and what sizes) may cause issues. For better or for worse, many industries and their related standards still require so-called...
USP 797 is more than just a set of guidelines; its rules were designed to protect patients. And it does this by making sure sterile medications are prepared safely in controlled environments. A cleanroom is one such environment, and one of the most important of any...
Cleanroom design can seem difficult or overly technical at first. This is not far from the truth, but understanding the basics is much easier than most people think. In short, designing a well-functioning cleanroom is all about controlling the environment, especially when it comes to...
Without adequate protection during manufacturing in the auto industry, recalls, safety issues, and legal problems may arise. The auto industry is no stranger to dangers of all kinds, and it’s for this exact reason that parts must be handled safely throughout the manufacturing process. As parts...
For manufacturing and scientific purposes, a strict cleanroom isn’t always necessary, or even the best choice. If you need to reduce contamination, but don’t need to follow strict standards, such as ISO, then a white room is exactly what you’re looking for. White rooms can provide...
To create a compliant cleanroom, it takes more than simply air filters. These spaces are highly engineered environments with very strict rules and regulations, especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals. In fact, the cost of getting things wrong is so dangerous that one design mistake...
