Inspection of technical cleanliness using a surface particle counter with oblique illumination technology

Conserving resources is a central theme of our society. In this context, the development of many parts and components is moving towards using less material and smaller structures. Consequently, the components become more sensitive, increasing the requirements for part cleanliness to ensure flawless…

Fig. 4 With the MET ONE 3400+, users can directly create version-controlled interactive SOP sampling plans on the particle counter itself, instructing technicians on where to take samples and how to position the sampling probe at each sampling site. Additionally, it displays where sampling has already been completed and allows supervisors to remotely review and approve the day's monitoring results via a web browser.

Fig. 1 The cleanroom classification according to ISO 14644-1:2015 focuses on the room performance, not the risk to the product.

Fig. 2 Routine environmental monitoring focuses on locations where the product may be at risk of contamination.

Fig. 3 The probe for routine monitoring must be located < 1 foot (305 mm) above the exposed product. / Fig. 3 Routine Monitoring probe should be < 1 ft (305 mm) away from exposed product.
