Cleanroom Technology (eBook)

A self-contained and practical book providing step-by-step
guidance to the design and construction of cleanrooms, appropriate
testing methodologies, and operation for the minimization of
contamination...

This second edition has been comprehensively revised and
includes extensive updates to the two chapters that contain
information on cleanroom standards and guidelines. The chapter on
risk management has been extensively revised, especially the
section on risk assessment. Other new subjects that have been added
to the various chapters are those on clean-build, determination of
air supply volumes for non-unidirectional airflow cleanrooms, RABS
(Restricted Access Barrier Systems), contamination recovery test
methods, entry of large items into a cleanroom, glove allergy
problems, and how to develop a cleanroom cleaning programme.

Used for in-house training and a textbook in colleges, this
volume is for cleanroom personnel at all levels. It provides
novices with an introduction to the state-of-the-art technology and
professionals with an accessible reference to the current
practices. It is particularly useful in the semiconductor,
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries.
