Cleanrooms are used in many industries where parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure are controlled and particle counts must remain within specified limits. Clean rooms can be found in many areas, primarily pharmaceutical production, but also medical manufacturing, cosmetics, hospitals, and operating rooms.
Particle count and microorganism count are the most important criteria in clean rooms. The cleanroom class is determined in accordance with these two criteria. Air quality measurements and microbial contamination checks of personnel and equipment carried out in clean rooms are tests that demonstrate the microbiological suitability of clean rooms.
The environment must meet specific conditions to produce sterile products. To maintain the existing sterile environment, the climate control conditions are specially designed and kept under constant pressure. These types of areas are called Clean Rooms. It is not accurate to only look at air quality in cleanroom microbiological analysis. It is important to check all surfaces that could generate contamination and also the personnel who might carry the contamination.
Cleanroom hygiene inspections should only be carried out by testing and inspection organizations and laboratories that have the necessary equipment. The most important thing here is that the organization conducting these tests provides accredited services. Testing and inspection organizations or laboratories obtain this authorization from the relevant accreditation body. Accreditation authorize organizations with the necessary equipment to conduct tests and inspections and issue reports on their behalf.
Saniter provides services in hygiene and sanitation monitoring in clean rooms by performing sample collection and air biocontamination, personnel and equipment biocontamination analyses from clean rooms, and is accredited by TÜRKAK according to TS EN ISO 17020.
Microbiological Air Monitoring
High microbial loads in the ambient air can lead to various allergic reactions. Prolonged exposure to indoor air, especially in enclosed spaces, can lead to various symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and skin itching. It is possible to perform microbiological analysis of the ambient air. Devices that detect the number of microorganisms in the air can identify the number of microorganisms in the environment separately as bacteria and mold/yeast. These tests check whether the cleanroom air quality meets the relevant microbiological criteria.
Personnel Hand Surface Analysis
These tests are performed on the hand surfaces of personnel to prevent microbial contamination originating from personnel. In various industrial sectors, conducting certain risky microbiological analyses to monitor hygiene controls at key control points identified by personnel and experts during the product or service manufacturing process is one of the practices that improves service/product quality.
Equipment Surface Analysis
Equipment surface swab analysis is a type of testing performed by taking samples from areas deemed at risk to prevent potential microbial contamination originating from equipment.
Clean Room Validation and Hygiene Supervision
The cleanroom class is determined according to the work and product being produced in the cleanroom. The most important criterion in determining the class of a cleanroom is the amount of living and non-living particles present within the cleanroom. If the validation tests conducted in the Clean Room yield positive results, the microbial load in the Clean Room must also be measured. Cleanroom verification is performed based on the measured parameters.
