Should I Use Reusable Cleanroom Garments?

It’s time to reconsider using reusable cleanroom garments. The continuous washing wearing and sterilization cycles of reusable cleanroom garments constantly degrade the properties of the fabric reducing their effectiveness.

Aseptic Gowning for the Cleanroom

Correct aseptic gowning procedures are of utmost importance to ensure a safe and compliant operation in the cleanroom environment. Particulate is difficult to detect because it is invisible to the naked eye. Contamination is commonly introduced to the cleanroom environment through the people who enter the cleanroom.

How to use Tacky Mats

Tacky Mats help to capture impurities and particulate in areas that require dust and particulate control. Tacky mats have a sticky surface which removes dirt and dust from shoe surfaces before they enter a contamination-free area. This adds a layer of protection for the controlled environment or cleanroom environment.

Single Pass Versus Recirculating Clean Rooms

If you are controlling temperature and humidity very tightly, you want to use a recirculating system so that once you’ve conditioned that air, you are not letting the conditioned air escape.
