Abrasion Basics for Contamination Control
Clean Manufacturing Tutorial: "Abrasion Basics for Contamination Control". To minimize particles, understand abrasion.
Advantages of Pre-Wetted Wipers in Sterile Environments
If you had to describe the overriding characteristic of sterile environments in one word, that word might be “uncompromising”. This word conveys the sense that sterility requirements in these
Evaluating sample preparation techniques for cleanroom wiper testing
Using mechanical energy and a surfactant solution to remove wiper particles can approximate actual conditions of use.
ESD Safety in Cleanrooms: Natural vs. Man-made Materials
Electrostatic charge build-up in cleanrooms can produce higher levels of surface contamination, electrostatic discharges that damage integrated circuits, MR and GMR heads, and electromagnetic
ESD: Another kind of lethal contaminant?
As recently pointed out in this magazine, it only takes about 25 V of static electricity to functionally destroy an MR head.
Choosing the Correct Swab for Cleaning Validation
During the manufacture of pharmaceutical and biotechnology products, care must be taken to ensure that these products are not contaminated either by the previous manufacturing run or by the c
Cleanroom Wipers: State-of-the-Art Evaluation Techniques
What makes the difference in wiper products is the amount of surface contamination they leave behind after use.
Cleaning, Validating and Monitoring Aseptic Fill Areas
Thorough cleaning is crucial to aseptic fill operations, but it must be validated as well as monitored. This article has presented some sampling, extraction and analysis options that have pro
Cleaning Aseptic Fill Areas
For pharmaceuticals that cannot be given terminal sterilization at the end of production, the alternative of aseptic fill is available, requiring sterile materials placed in sterile container
Swab / Direct Combustion Carbon Analysis of Drug Residue by TOC-VCPH
Cleaning validation for production equipment at pharmaceutical facilities is an evaluation examination that is conducted to prevent cross-contamination from previously processed products and
Controlling Electrostatic Attraction of Particles in Production Equipment
SEMI Document E78-0998 describes the elements of a static control program: these include grounding, static dissipative materials and air ionization. These elements are supported by personnel
Basics of Contamination by Electrostatic Attraction
Excess electrical charge plays a significant role in contamination. It can cause an energetic discharge (“electrostatic discharge” or “ESD”) that causes damage, and it can attract particles,
Cleaning of Compounding Aseptic Isolators (CAIs) and Class II Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs)
Compounding Aseptic Isolators and Class II biological safety cabinets are used in hospital pharmacies and other ...

Swabbing Guide. Swab Requirements: • Minimal background interference. • High recovery rate. • Low particle generation. Where to..
Cleaning of Isolators and Bio-safety Cabinets
The manner in which pharmaceutical isolators, compounding aseptic isolators and bio-safety cabinets are used dictate the somewhat varied approach to cleaning and where applicable, disinfectio
Reducing Pyrogens in Cleanroom Wiping Materials
In many instances, it is no longer adequate to show that a pharmaceutical or medical device is sterile, but one also must demonstrate that it is “pyrogen free.” This article provides practic
Optimum Wiper Characteristics for the Cleaning and Disinfection of Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms
Who knew that there was so much technology associated with such a small piece of cloth?
Sistema de mopas: Contactless
Sistema de mopping modular, con componentes intercambiables y compatibles, permite la adaptación para limpieza desinfección en cualquier tipo de zonas estériles o no estériles. Sistema de pre
Salmonella strikes! Global epidemics of salmonella. Food industry HAVOC
Recent cases of the super-bugs in Australia, the US, UK and Asia have caused major issues for food processing companies; including public recalls and lawsuits.
Consistency as the True Measure of Cleanroom Wiper Quality
From wiping residues on hard surfaces to applying cleaning solutions, wipers perform a variety of tasks that help maintain the cleanliness levels desired in a given cleanroom environment. Thi
How to Succeed in the Search for Nothing: Effective Swabbing Techniques for Cleaning Validation
Searching for nothing would seem to be an absolute waste of time — unless you are responsible for cleaning validation.
Improving Productivity in Pharmaceutical & Biotech Facilities
Pharma and Biotech manufacturing facilities face ever more demanding regulatory and productivity challenges. These challenges are made more acute as products come off patent protection.
