Particle Contamination in High-Purity Process Chemicals

Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Resistance Testing for MiniCapt Pro Microbial Sampler

Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) serves as a potent oxidizer and has long been acknowledged for its effectiveness in sterilization within enclosed filling isolators. With the rising prevalence of isolator applications, there’s an increasing demand for robust samplers capable of enduring such environments. The MiniCapt® Pro Remote Microbial Sampler features an internal flow path designed to resist the corrosive impacts of VHP.

Key Factors for Optimizing Microbial Air Sampling

Microbial air sampling in pharmaceutical manufacturing relies on surface, passive, and active methods—each using media like agar to capture microbial growth. While techniques vary, accurate results depend on collection efficiency. This paper focuses on active air sampling and how to optimize performance across all methods.

Nanoparticle Counter NanoAir 10 for semiconductor tool contamination monitoring

Airborne Nanoparticle Counter to Detect Contamination in Semiconductor Tools

The increasing attention on driving better product yield performance with advanced technology nodes has drawn reasonable discussion for in-tool monitoring to reduce nanoparticles that can have an impact on yield. With that in mind, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) launched the new NanoAir™ 10 Condensation Particle Counter that measures particles down to 10 nm and the ParticleSeeker™ Smart Manifold system which is the first-ever manifold designed to handle nanoparticle transport. This product will unlock a new world of monitoring possibilities, providing a look into a current blind spot of the requirements and needs in the industry.
