How Can You Maintain Clean Rooms In Laboratories<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]Clean rooms<\/a> are vital for chemical and biological laboratories. With most procedures needing a sterile environment, they\u2019re an indispensable part of any laboratory. They\u2019re quite hard to implement and maintain because of the stringent regulations that need to be followed.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this infographic, we\u2019re giving you an overview of what procedures and regulations need to be followed in clean rooms.

Aspects to consider<\/strong><\/td>\nKey Pointers<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Laboratory Layout<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • A clear workflow must be put in place<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Doors & pathways must be free of critical processes \u2013 no blockage of airflow<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Include only a single access point<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Account for all contamination risks \u2013 equipment, personnel, exit points, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ISO Classification<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Must follow the International Standards Organization (ISO) classification system, ISO 14644-1\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Always best to find out the needed ISO classification before constructing the laboratory\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • ISO classification can change over time, too, once the scope of work changes<\/span><\/li>\n
  • ISO 1 to ISO 9, 1 being the cleanest<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Regular Maintenance<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Cleaning equipment itself can be a source of contamination<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Depending on the ISO classification, you can decide what chemicals must be used to clean the space<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Special clean room friendly solvents & brooms are available<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Maintenance must be scheduled periodically<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Equipment Maintenance<\/span><\/td>\n\n
Air Quality<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Air samplers or settler plates must be used to identify the degree of contamination<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They must be checked the presence of microbial organisms based on particle size and growth on media<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They must be kept out for at least 4 hours before incubation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
