The Flat Panel Display manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly with growth driven by mobile devices and resolution improvements. Most display manufacturers are investing in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology which offers improvements in color fidelity, contrast, and power consumption over legacy TFT-LCD platforms. Compared with TFT-LCD, the OLED process is more sensitive to micro contamination, including particles, electrostatic discharge (ESD), airborne molecular contamination (AMC), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and even H2O molecules….
Viable air monitoring is a crucial part of an environmental monitoring program in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The absence of microbial contamination is considered a critical quality attribute due to its potential to dramatically impact, directly or indirectly, the safety and/or the efficacy of the drug product. It has been many years since common viable air monitoring methodologies have been introduced and become standard. It is well documented that traditional methods are insensitive. Singular results only provide an indicator of cleanroom status, and very often no direct correlation between number of organisms and product contamination risks are found.
