A
new paper of interest, in relation to cleanrooms, particles and contamination
control has been published. The paper looks at particles generated from
cleanroom wipes.
The
abstract reads:
“Cleanroom
wipes, saturated with disinfectant, are commonly used within pharmaceutical
grade cleanrooms as part of contamination control programmes. Whilst standards
are in place for the testing of wipes for particle shedding, there is a limited
data relating to the particle generation from wipes when they are used in
practical conditions. This paper outlines a study that was undertaken of three
different cleanroom wipes of the particles generated as the wipes were used.
The study was undertaken within an isolator in order to minimise the background
particle levels. The study showed that cleanroom wipes designed for ISO class 5
/ EU GMP Grade A use are suitable for the those areas, but that wipes which are
not certified for use in higher grade cleanrooms should not be used in those
areas due to the high level of particles generated.”
