In biotechnology, without the right environment, processes like vaccine production or scientific research can be easily compromised. Lack of contamination is often the difference between success and failure, and as a result, cleanrooms have become the backbone of many biotechnology operations. In this article, we’ll...
Operating a cleanroom is often a constant and invisible battle against contamination. Unfortunately, most of the particles cannot be seen, and in the normal state of nature, airborne particles of all kinds are the norm. A clean space is necessarily a very unnatural one, which...
Though too small to see with the human eye, a single 0.5 micron particle can cause malfunctions to products in industries like semiconductors and aerospace. And just because we can’t see them, doesn’t mean they aren’t there, which is why particle counting has become so...
Creating a cleanroom is a meticulous process that requires a lot of careful planning. Whether you're working in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, semiconductors, or any other industry that requires a controlled environment, the design of this space is integral to successful outcomes. Here’s a simplified cleanroom checklist...
From the lab to the operating room, medical cleanrooms are necessary in keeping products and procedures safe. These controlled environments limit dangerous particles that can affect patients, products, and staff. In this article, we explore the different types of medical cleanrooms, their uses, and the...
Picture a space where the tiniest particle is an adversary. This is not far from the truth, as in many industries, a single particle can cause serious damage to products. To minimize these dangers, many manufacturers use cleanrooms, and these spaces must use cutting-edge air...
Cleanrooms are necessary in any industry where controlling particles, whether viable or non-viable, is a factor in product safety. Not to mention scientific research, where a clean environment can make the difference between reliable and unreliable results. The needs of each cleanroom can differ drastically,...
Cleanrooms, and especially ISO 4 cleanrooms, have a lot of complex requirements that can seem difficult at first for a non-technical audience. Fundamentally, though, cleanroom requirements are all about managing airborne particles. The main difference between each ISO classification (from ISO Class 1 to ISO...
In the context of cleanrooms, ISO standards are important for categorizing the cleanliness of different environments. In a nutshell, ISO standards place limits on the number and size of particles allowed in the air. Cleanrooms are standardized to make quality and safety consistent, to make...
As scientific progress advances and machinery and parts become smaller and smaller, the demand for cleanrooms will continue to grow. This is because, in many industries, cleanrooms are often necessary for creating safe and reliable products. Whenever small particles can cause issues, whether in manufacturing...
