Particle Measuring Systems Sponsors PDA Course

Written by PMS

Particle Measuring Systems has been an active supporter of the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) over the years. Recently, we sponsored a course on environmental monitoring that was held at the PDA Training & Research Institute at PDA’s headquarters in Bethesda, MD. The Institute’s courses cover a broad range of subject areas reflecting PDA’s core competencies — aseptic processing, biotechnology, environmental monitoring, filtration, microbiology, quality/regulatory affairs, and validation; as well as specialized areas such as cold chain, lyophilization, pre-filled syringes and visual inspection.

A Comparison of Particle Counting Solutions for UPW

Written by Nina Morton

Through continuous process and equipment advancements, semiconductor manufacturers are approaching 14 nm feature sizes and heading even smaller, while hard-disk drive fly heights are now less than 10 nm. This ever-reducing device feature size requires comparable cleanliness-level improvements in ultrapure water (UPW). UPW purity is especially important with its high use in direct contact with wafers as a final cleaning and rinsing agent in many production steps. Leveraging recent advances in laser optics and detector technology, UPW particle concentration ≥20 nm (≥9 nm for metallic particles) can be effectively monitored.

Faster, Simpler Surface Testing Solution for Biological Contamination

Written by Nina Morton

Particle Measuring Systems Releases the SurCapt™ Microbial Surface Detection Kit.

February 15, 2016, Boulder, CO – The newly released SurCapt™ Microbial Surface Detection Kit from Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) is an all-inclusive, ready-to-use solution which simplifies and quickens the process of environmental surface testing for biological contamination. The kit uses GreenLight® Technology for the rapid detection of microbial activity on cleanroom surfaces and the design reduces the likelihood of sample cross-contamination and mishandling by the operator.

Mark Hallworth, Pharmaceutical Sales Manager, Presenting at ISPE 2016 Aseptic Conference

Written by PMS

Mark Hallworth will be presenting in the Barrier Track at ISPE 2016 Aseptic Processing Technology Conference, held Feb. 29 – March 1 in Arlington, Virginia. Mark is the Pharmaceutical Sales Manager, North America, for Particle Measuring Systems, and has managed the design, installation and validation of more than 300 environmental monitoring system projects worldwide. He currently lectures for the PDA, ISPE and other international pharmaceutical societies on environmental monitoring and GMP compliance design and validation. Mark has authored many papers including Choosing the Most Suitable Non-Viable Sample Point Locations. For his presentation at ISPE, he will be discussing environmental monitoring challenges in isolator technologies.
