Highly controlled environments like cleanrooms require a great deal of energy to operate. They must maintain pressure, airflow, filtration, and sometimes temperature, humidity, and sound as well. All of these require electricity inputs, often continuous, in order to control contamination effectively within the space. For organizations that need to utilize cleanrooms for their operations but […]

Cleanrooms are highly controlled environments that are used for many different research and commercial purposes. Cleanroom contamination occurs most often due to the presence and behavior of the personnel in the room. Following proper safety procedures can eliminate potential contamination as well as ensure a safe environment for the staff working in the cleanroom. In […]

The design of your modular cleanroom must satisfy not only industry standards but also the specific needs of your business. Although modular cleanrooms have been used for decades in the manufacturing and scientific research sectors, they are now becoming a more affordable option for smaller companies that need controlled spaces. Customizing your modular cleanroom must […]

Designing a cleanroom is about more than choosing the right filters or specifying airflow. The physical structure itself, its layout, surfaces, and fixtures, can introduce contamination risks if not properly planned. In this blog, we’ll walk through some of the most common cleanroom design flaws to avoid so your environment stays compliant, efficient, and easier […]

Often when we discuss cleanroom design, we talk about the physical layout of the room, including walls and ceilings, but a cleanroom isn’t a cleanroom if the air isn’t changed out. The room’s air change rate affects its performance, its classification, and its cost to run.  What Is An Air Change Rate? An air change […]

Maintaining stringent standards for a controlled cleanroom environment requires a commitment to staff training as well as regular inspections. Unfortunately, there can be a number of challenges involved when people work within the environment and equipment can malfunction as well. Put simply, things can go wrong. Let’s go through some common cleanroom hazards to rectify […]

An effective cleanroom controls the amount of particulate matter in the air according to specification, but cleanrooms often operate under strict temperature and humidity conditions as well. Why do cleanroom temperature and humidity matter? There are three main reasons: controlling the shedding of skin cells and other biomatter, controlling static, and ensuring the comfort of […]

The primary purpose of a cleanroom is to limit the concentration of airborne particles to specification, but there are many other factors that can be controlled in order to create a specific environment. Static, pressurization, temperature, humidity, and even sound can be controlled with certain modifications. Do you need a soundproof cleanroom? Let’s go through […]

A properly designed cleanroom operates to maintain cleanliness within the space to specification. Unfortunately, your cleanroom will not remain in the pristine condition it is when you first install and validate it. Every time people or products enter the cleanroom space there is an opportunity to introduce contamination. Both staff training and regular cleaning and […]

A vital part of any cleanroom is its barrier system. Its walls and doors work together to keep contaminants out of the room while the air filtration system cleans the air inside. Stick-built cleanrooms are built using traditional construction methods. With modular cleanrooms, there are different options available for you to choose from when deciding […]
