ABSTRACT Airflow Visualization studies (AKA Smoke Studies) are used to evaluate air patterns in medical product cleanrooms and barrier systems (RABS, Isolators, pass-throughs and airlocks) that support aseptically produced, terminally sterilized and low bioburden product manufacturing.) These studies should be considered as more than a definitive pass/fail test. ...
In today’s world, precision and cleanliness are critical in industries like pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Among the many tools used to maintain strict cleanliness standards, viable air samplers stand out as a key player. But why are these devices so essential? Let’s dive into the ...
Airborne Particle Counters (APCs) play a critical role in monitoring and maintaining the cleanliness of environments where air purity is essential, such as cleanrooms. There are two fundamental types of APCs: portable and fixed-point remote. Each type has unique features and applications, making them suitable for various scenarios in contamination control. Portable APCs are self-contained units ...

Particle Counters Particle counters are essential for measuring particle concentrations in compressed gases. ...
Cleanroom particle counting is essential for accurate functioning and meeting certification criteria in controlled environments. In this blog post, we take a look at five key principles of cleanroom particle counting, exploring the significance of each principle and how it contributes to maintaining the safety and quality of products manufactured in such ...
Question: “What is the need of taking a non-viable particle count after a power shut down for an hour. Our Class C area is stabilizing after 30 minutes of a power cut?” There are several reasons for deploying your Non-Viable Environmental Monitoring Program following a power outage, but primarily it ...
In a typical cleanroom, EM takes the form of monitoring non-viable and viable particles to maintain a reliable state of control in production. ...
USP 797 is a standard for sterility that pharmaceutical compounding and preparation facilities must demonstrate. USP 797 is set by the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary (USP-NF) and ensures patient safety by protecting pharmaceuticals from contamination during preparation. Following USP 797 reduces infection, contamination, and improper dosage to maintain superior quality products ...
In this exciting blog series on the latest developments in regulation concerning the pharmaceutical industry, we take a look at the newest tool for product quality–the contamination control strategy (CCS). The CCS is designed to ensure quality risk management is present in every pharmaceutical process from the ground up, and every quality decision made has a foundation in scientific ...
How is contamination defined and what does it mean to control that contamination? Conventional approaches to contamination control are changing. They are being driven by the need to anticipate contamination events, rather than simply react to them, and new regulations are supporting this shift in thinking. Defining a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is unique for each process and requires an ...
Sterility Test Isolator viable non viable contamination control solution In this video interview, the team from AUSTAR UK discuss why and how they worked with Particle Measuring Systems’ (PMS) exclusive UK distributor, EMS Particle Solutions, to provide an AUSTAR Sterility Test Isolator customer with a ...
Viable, non viable particle counts: Environmental and Process Monitoring- Annex 1, Section 9.4 In Part 3 of our 5 part blog series, we look at Viable Non Viable (V/NV ) Particle counts regarding Environmental and Process Monitoring as found in Annex 1, Section ...
The first table below controls for non viable particulate in the clean environment, including compressed gases. ...
HPD III and Lasair III for Monitoring non viable particulate in gases Compressed gases can be viewed as critical utilities in many industries. ...
Real-time (Active Air) Microbial Monitoring Benefits Microbial contamination can impact clean manufacturing in similar ways to particles. However, while non-viable particulate can be cleaned by filtration, even minor microbial contamination can replicate and spread. ...
The type of contamination being monitoring is either total particle (non-viable) or viable. Requirements for All Types of Monitoring The locations, frequency, volume, and duration of monitoring should be determined based on the risk assessment and the results obtained during the qualification. ...
The monitoring program is comprised of total particle (non-viable), viable, and APS testing in the case of aseptic manufacturing. ...
Spore trap analysis cannot differentiate between a viable and non-viable spore. (Non-viable is the term used to describe dead mold spores and hyphal (branch) fragments. Non-viable mold air sampling counts ALL mold spores, making no distinction between dead and living mold spores. ...
Abstract For aseptic manufacture of pharmaceutical products there has been a shift in procedures for particle measurement, primarily due to legislative regulations. Traditionally, monitoring has been the classic portable monitoring of a cleanroom. ...
