It’s the cleanest room in a hospital, but most of us will never step foot in it. Pharmacies and compounding laboratories are a hot topic in the health care world as the US Pharmacopeial Convention’s (USP) revised guidelines necessitate new pharmacy design to meet USP 797 and USP 800 compliance.
NexLogic Technologies, Inc. has announced the completion of its International Standards Organization (ISO) 14644-1 Class 4/10,000 and the equivalent Federal Standard 209E (FS209E) Class 10 clean room as an integral part of its new microelectronics services and manufacturing capability.
The decision that will influence the design of a cleanroom air handling system determining the method to use should be made depending of the desired preciseness of your control. 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.
Since 2002, the Laboratory Design Conference has provided a dynamic educational and networking event for those involved in planning, designing, engineering, constructing and operating laboratory facilities.
The global cleanroom technology market is increasing, due to growing demand for certified products that require strict cleanliness protocol. In addition, pharmaceuticals, such as vaccines, injections, and ointments, and medical devices need to be prepared in an environment that is free from microbes and particulates .This has generated the demand for the research and development of aseptic cleanroom technologies, a market that is experiencing tremendous growth globally.
Cleanroom projects require several skill sets and knowledge experts to achieve a successful implementation, thus proving that a DIY clean room project is not the best means to a successful end. The Clean room project is closely managed and a site superintendent or project manager must be on the project from start to finish.
