…current good manufacturing practices (GMPs) and how they can be applied to a continuous monitoring system installed within a facility. Quality and Production teams can then establish new monitoring understandings and harmonize with standards.
How Particle Counters Work: The Tiny Things We Can’t See
…inside a cleanroom we could measure flakes of skin, small pieces of silicon or metal, or fungal spores… Most particles are non-uniform in structure, and this poses a question: How is the size qualified?
Highlights of the New Lasair Pro Airborne Particle Counter
Paul Hartigan sits down with Blu Buquoy, both of Particle Measuring Systems (PMS), to discuss the new Lasair Pro airborne particle counter. Topics covered include an overview of the instrument and its features, how it meets the most up to date industry needs including regulatory requirements for calibration and data integrity, why the product was built and more.
Finding Root Causes of Contamination
In our previous blog in this series, we introduced you to the contamination control strategy (CCS), and why you need one. This time, we look at the quality risk management approach to preparing the CCS in order to design the ideal cleanroom for your Pharma process.
Considerations and Steps for Building a Contamination Control Strategy – Series Part 4 of 4
Conventional approaches to contamination control are changing. They are being driven by the need to anticipate contamination events, rather than simply react to them, and new regulations are supporting this shift in thinking. Defining a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is unique for each process and requires an intimate understanding of both the process and how to implement an effective strategy. This blog series goes into depth on both topics.

How Tubing Affects Particle Counts
Multiple mechanisms emerge when sample tubing of any length is placed between the sampling location and the particle counter inlet probe. By standardizing set-up variation where possible, these mechanisms are further classified into their principal loss mechanisms.
PMS and EMS Working Together to Deliver a Contamination Control Solution to an AUSTAR Customer
In this video interview, the team from AUSTAR UK discuss why and how they worked with Particle Measuring Systems’ (PMS) exclusive UK distributor, EMS Particle Solutions, to provide an AUSTAR sterility test isolator customer with a complete viable and non viable particle counting solution using PMS instrumentation and equipment.
Reflections on 2020 from a Contamination Control Global Service Provider (Part 1 of 2)
In this 2-part blog series, we hear excerpts from an interview between Frank Panofen, Global Marketing Manager at Particle Measuring Systems and Rizwan Chaudhrey. They talk about how Particle Measuring Systems rapidly adapted to the change in our customers’ needs for manufacturing support around the world in 2020 and how they think the industry will be different because of it in 2021 and beyond.
Remote Validation and Training services during the Pandemic: A Success Story
Remote working, and allowing fewer vendors onsite can make projects very challenging, sometimes pausing projects indefinitely. David Quelle, GM of PMS Brazil, discusses one example where the Particle Measuring Systems’ team was able to work with a customer to remotely validate their FaciltyPro Environmental monitoring system & MiniCapt Monitors and conduct training.
