    The environment in a cleanroom requires very close attention and diligence. It is a fragile and easy to diminish the integrity of the cleanliness once the room is established. Thoroughly clean your modular cleanroom regularly. You may have staff in-house who are trained to clean a cleanroom. This process isn’t like hiring a cleaning lady for your office. Because the environment is specialized for the field, either pharmacopoeial, for building technology, research and development, each is going to have its own cleaning regulations for the room. All of the surfaces have to be cleaned regularly with certain supplies approved according to the USP chapter and the ISO air quality for the cleanroom. Change out the HEPA filters often and correctl…Read More

    Vaping has become more and more popular over the last couple of years. For some people, it has become a smokeless alternative to smoking, while, for others, it has helped them kick the nicotine habit and still enjoy the act of “smoking” without inhaling smoke. The History of Vaping E-cigs haven’t been around for long. In 2003, a Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik, patented his idea. E-cigs were first introduced in Europe and the United States in 2006. Researchers found in 2011 that smokers switching to e-cigs reduced the number of cigarettes they consumed was comparable to other smoking cessation aids. However, the FDA still does not recognize it as an aid in helping to stop smoking. As of April 2014, the FDA has proposed to regulate the pro…Read More

    Since April 2014, the FDA has been in the process of proposing regulations to the field of vaping and ecigarettes. The formal proposal was shared a year ago and we are little closer to the formal decision. Vaping is showing its stability and permanence in the market. In fact, in some cases ecigs are hailed as helping people wean themselves off their tobacco addiction from smoking cigarettes, although, some use it as an alternative, keeping nicotine levels at higher levels. The regulation would make the production of juice to be handled with FDA regulated standards. Some of these regulations would include: being produced in a cleanroom, like the modular cleanrooms we produce at Travis Clean Air; cleanliness of the technicians will be a facto…Read More

  4. Adding Vaping Businesses to the List of FDA Regulated

    The Food and Drug Administration proposed last year to add electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, under its jurisdiction in order to regulate the production of the e-liquid that produces the vapor and the flavor, and the addition of the e-liquid to the e-cigarette device. Many vaping companies that produce and sell e-cigs in communities are looking ahead to upcoming regulations for the mixing of the e-liquid. One such regulation suspected to be included in with the new regulations is that the ingredients for the e-cigs will have to be mixed within a cleanroom. Cleanrooms regulate the amount of contaminants and bioburden in the room, keeping the ingredients being mixed for the e-liquid to be of the highest purity. Arguments can be made for the e-…Read More

    Modular cleanrooms are currently required by USP 797 for the manufacture of parts and products for industries like aviation, food processing, compounding pharmacies, nanotechnology and much more. There has been a move to add electronic cigarettes (also called e-cigarettes and e-cigs) to the list of items manufactured within the confines of a cleanroom environment over the last couple of years with health scares that stem from a lack of regulation. There is now a move to ID purchasers of the e-cigarettes since they contain nicotine, but the ingredients are still largely unregulated. As e-cigs gain popularity among all ages, there is talk of the move toward regulation, some are choosing to be proactive and keep their customers as safe as poss…Read More

  6. How Tack Mats Can Minimize Contamination of a Cleanroom

    In keeping the contamination levels down in your modular cleanroom, there are the standard air filters to replace on a regular basis to keep the air particulates low. Regular cleaning also occurs to prohibit the buildup of contaminants as well. Full body apparel, or simple jumpsuits can be used to limit the amount of particulates added to the room. Another way to keep from adding to the particulate count for the room is to use a tack mat in the antechamber. A tack mat will pull dirt, hair and dust from your shoes or wheels of push carts prior to entering the cleanroom. Tack mats generally come in a mat that has layers of mat. These are usually numbered to count down the amount of mats left on the pad. The numbers will help maintain an accou…Read More
