The cleanroom is the heart of the production of sensitive, valuable goods. Any contamination, such as dust, microorganisms, or smoke, can disrupt the production processes and compromise product quality. Additionally, personnel safety presents a special challenge. Active ingredients in pharmaceutical…

In 1910, the physician, hygienist, and bacteriologist Friedrich Loeffler founded the world's first virological research facility on the Baltic Sea island of Riems near Greifswald. Today, the nationally and internationally recognized institution functions as a federal research institute for animal he…

In today's era, cleanrooms are an indispensable part of adapting to the ever-increasing quality requirements. What was once handled differently depending on the industry and region is now classified into clearly defined ISO cleanroom classes according to EN ISO 14644-1. The various classes are based…

In cleanrooms, a lot of attention is currently being paid to suspended solids. However, product quality is not affected by small particles in the air that do not settle but by large particles that fall onto the product. Particulate deposition also occurs in the cleanest cleanrooms where people work…

STERIS Vesta-Syde SQ Quaternary Ammonium Disinfectant is the non-sterile version of disinfectants from the Vesta-Syde SQ product family, specifically developed for use on hard non-porous surfaces. All Vesta-Syde SQ products contain the same quaternary ammonium compounds but are manufactured and pack…

The stainless steel material pass-throughs of the "Kambic" series are the result of years of experience in the development and production of laboratory equipment.

These pass-throughs are already in use at many medical and pharmaceutical institutions, development laboratories, and manufacturing compan…

The behavior of entrapped air in the tool is often opaque. Unexpected air inclusions occur, negatively impacting component quality. Their actual location, shape, and consequences usually only become visible in the finished component. With SIGMASOFT®'s process-oriented simulation, they can be reliabl…

Since December 1, 2012, the company has been up and running. Managing Director Patrick Siegel has been pushing forward. Even now, his company SISTEMA-MK presents itself as a competent partner for companies in the cleanroom, pharmaceutical, life science, and semiconductor industries. Its strengths: a…

The intelligent control of electronic devices and data transfers is advancing at a breathtaking pace. The development of ever smaller and more precise sensors creates possibilities that seemed utopian just a few years ago. These development steps were made possible by the use of precise cleanroom te…
