More and more sustainability becomes a topic for all aspects of life – therefore also for our work environments.

How can we do it – or is it even possible – to use cleanroom wipers in a more sustainable way, without increasing the risk of contamination?

A question we can hear very often is: “Most ...

Since August 2022 it’s now published in its final version – the new Annex 1, part of the EU- GMP guidelines for aseptic manufacturing.

With environmental conditions becoming ever more stringent and with a greater awareness on the health effects of environmental contamination, surface testing is becoming even more important. Sampling is no longer focused on a few distinct areas such as clean and controlled environments. It is ex...

A cleanroom swab is a specialized cleaning tool used in controlled environments such as cleanrooms, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities where maintaining a high level of cleanliness and eliminating contaminants is essential. Cleanrooms are environments with low levels of airborne particle...

Searching for nothing would seem to be an absolute waste of time — unless you are responsible for cleaning validation. In that case, success is deliciously ironic since you can say, “I found nothing and that’s good news”. 

Let's start from the beginning!

Those involved in the manufacture and q...
