When particle counters work together to give data on the state of contamination control, they’re going to disagree on the numbers. But why do the counts not match? The answer encompasses model, manufacturing, engineering design, and calibration.
Ultrapure Water Nanoparticle Contamination Monitoring
In this blog series, we’ll be looking at the signal pathway for a typical liquid particle counter and two case studies with the Ultra DI liquid particle counters to understand how the detection of the smallest contamination was revolutionized and recharged for counting on the nano-scale.
Contamination Control Advisory Services during the Pandemic
Interview with Frank Panofen, Life Science Marketing Manager at Particle Measuring Systems How do we solve contamination control issues when face to face discussions and in-person visits are not an option? In this interview, Dr. Frank Panofen of Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) explains how PMS advisors tackled travel restrictions and the inability to visit customers: […]
Parts Cleanliness Testing Application Case Study
When most people think about particle counting, they think mainly about testing high purity chemicals, ultra clean DI water and aerosol particulate within cleanrooms and Fabs. There is a sub sector market that deals specifically with surface parts testing of OEM products who provide finished products to the semiconductor and other industries. These parts need […]
Three Core Events to Establish Environmental Contamination Control – Per EU GMP Annex 1
The 2020 release of the EU GMP Annex 1 includes a new chapter on viable and non-viable environmental and process monitoring. Trend analysis and its impact on the contamination control strategy is now an essential activity that is referenced multiple times. We discuss the changes here.
Handheld Particle Counting Benefits: Key Features and Performance Specifications
The HandiLaz® Mini II handheld particle counter offers a powerful and nimble solution for pre-certification steps, identifying potential contamination hotspots, and troubleshooting high particle areas.
Powder Filling: Sample Points and Risk Analysis

Powder Filling: The Monitoring Process and its Background in Regulation
Particle Measuring Systems has designed a particle monitoring process for powder filling that satisfies current regulatory standards and eliminates a particle counter purge cycle.
Choosing the Right Complete Contamination Control Solutions Provider
When choosing a particle counting contamination control provider for your controlled environment, much emphasis is put on the instruments (particle counters). But there are other equally important factors. When you buy instruments for long-term use, you are entering into a long-term partnership. Make sure it’s the right fit for you. Here are some factors to […]
Argonaut Manufacturing Services and Particle Measuring Systems Partnering for Top Tier Results
All companies have a reason for existing and a focus on what they do best. That is why most companies bring in experts to partner with for areas outside their expertise. “Argonaut Manufacturing Services has been successful by really focusing on its core business. Outside of that we rely on our key partners”, says […]
