Viable vs. Non-Viable Particles in Cleanrooms

Defense and Military Cleanrooms: A Complete Guide

Defense and military cleanrooms are some of the most compliance-heavy environments that exist. The reason for this is that the stakes are much higher. If a few particles find themselves in a piece of equipment, it could cause catastrophic failures. In this article, we\'...

503B cGMP Cleanroom Design: What Outsourcing Facilities Need

503A cGMP Cleanrooms: What They Are And What They Aren’t

Pharmacies that start work on a new cleanroom may hear the term “cGMP” used next to 503A. This can, of course, create some real confusion about what is required. Is cGMP something that 503A pharmacies have to follow in general, or is it just a higher standard that so...

Post-Build Cleanroom Planning: What to Know Early On

Before your cleanroom is built, it can look perfect on paper or in theory. You may even feel good about having designed an efficient space. The only problem is that it has never been tested in real life. That’s when businesses discover they can’t access the HEPA filters...

What Is a Class 100000 Cleanroom? Requirements and More

To newcomers, the cleanroom industry can appear full of overlapping jargon that’s hard to make sense of. Someone on your team might require you to source a Class 100,000 space, but a manufacturer may respond with a proposal for an ISO 8 space. Are these the same or diff...
