A to Z of an effective monitoring programme

A to Z of an effective monitoring programme

A successful monitoring process allows control of contamination for regulatory or product yield reasons. John Merrill from C2C explains monitoring results can be used for trend analysis by comparing data with subsequent air samples, and alert and action levels can be set for results outside of set acceptable thresholds

Germany market report | Supporting the vaccine race

A country that is taking on many fronts of the pandemic response, Germany has a well-known pharmaceutical landscape and an enviable cleanroom backbone. But is it enough?
Should technology based ARMMs be more widely adopted?

Should technology based ARMMs be more widely adopted?

New technologies now exist that can reduce the time taken to detect viable particles by almost comical percentages, while also detecting and distinguishing inert ones. Therefore, it is puzzling why the uptake of ARMM devices in aseptic pharma manufacturing seems so slow
Validating VPHP bio-decontamination of FFP masks

Validating VPHP bio-decontamination of FFP masks

DeconBox is a Vapour-Phase-Hydrogen-Peroxide bio-decontamination system that allows FFP2 and FFP3 masks to be reused. Riccardo Volta and Giacomo Nicolini from Comecer explain the process of validating the mobile, purpose-built system for use in controlled settings
Manipulators: A gamechanger in radiopharmaceutical production

Manipulators: A gamechanger in radiopharmaceutical production

For many years manipulator technology has stagnated, but recently, remotely controlled manipulator design has shown a leap forward. Jim Peterson from Central Research Labs discusses the variety of these machineries that help keep operators and radioactive material separate

Martin Birch and Peter Makowenskyj| G-CON Manufacturing

The modular construction movement is an unstoppable train at this point. In an exclusive interview, two G-CON Directors discuss the trajectory of this expanding technology, and how multiple global crises are changing business on both sides of the pond
AMC monitoring in fabs with spectroscopic methods

AMC monitoring in fabs with spectroscopic methods

Airborne molecular contaminants clearly affect semiconductor yield and can’t be completely removed by modern filters in cleanroom fabs. Thomas Benoy from the $2.1m MetAMCII project says it is aiming to address the increasing need for measurement capabilities from the low ppb to the ppt in real time with low uncertainties

The virtual event taking place on 10-11 November 2020 will provide delegates with full access to the Manufacturing Chemist Live, Cleanroom UK, India and Singapore content and exhibitors
Cleanroom tightness and room pressurisation: Discrepancy?

Cleanroom tightness and room pressurisation: Discrepancy?

A cascaded room-pressure regime has been considered for decades to prevent cross-contamination of different processes. But Harald Flechl from ISPE says today's tight cleanrooms must have leaks to ensure a room-pressure regulation - so why should we build tight cleanrooms?

In an interview with Cleanroom Technology, HVAC specialist COO and Head of the Cleanroom division was proud to discuss the behind-the-scenes importance of controlled environments during a time of pandemic
The evolving role of a contamination control strategy in Annex 1

The evolving role of a contamination control strategy in Annex 1

A Contamination Control Strategy is a cyclical process designed to prompt the manufacturers to identify and resolve risk. With the 2020 draft update to Annex 1, David Keen from Ecolab looks at the interesting specific impacts of the changes on the role of a well-designed CCS
Adoption of rapid methods for QC microbiology in biopharmaceuticals

Adoption of rapid methods for QC microbiology in biopharmaceuticals

Rapid turnaround times and high sensitivity are essential for microbial QC testing. David Jones from Rapid Micro Biosystems explains that by the time a traditional test is completed, it can be difficult to rewind several days into the past and pinpoint the cause of a contamination event
The benefits of decentralised air handling

The benefits of decentralised air handling

Performance requirements and sustainability targets can sometimes be at odds in the cleanroom world, but decentralised air handling system design can actually benefit both says Connect 2 Cleanrooms' Sam Armer
