Particle Counters for Cleanrooms
Monitor Airborne Particles to Ensure Operations Compliance & Safety
BT-620 Particle Counter
What is a Cleanroom?
Cleanrooms are closed, controlled environments utilizing environmental parameter control and filtration systems to purify the inside air; commonly for manufacturing and research.
Where are Cleanrooms Used?
Anywhere the strictest requirements for air quality are needed. Cleanroom environments require that stringent cleanliness, temperature, and moisture levels are maintained ensuring contamination-free environments. Cleanrooms and controlled environments are used for manufacturing and research in the following fields:
- Semiconductors
- Biotechnology
- Pharmaceuticals
- Electronics
- Optics
- Military/Aerospace
- Medical
- Food Packaging
How are Cleanrooms Monitored?
Cleanroom design depends on process requirements, room volume, ISO classification and the type of filtration required. ISO cleanroom classes define the number of airborne particles per cubic meter allowed. Validation testing is used to establish periodic or continuous monitoring points where precision particle counters are employed to measure the air.
Which MOI Particle Counters are Used for Cleanrooms & Controlled Environments?
Met One Instruments, Inc. benchtop units BT-620 and BT-610 are exceptionally suited and provide a printed record ideal for ISO 14644-1:2015 Class 3 thru 9 cleanroom applications. The BT-620, NOW CE CERTIFIED, is seamlessly integrated into existing facility software and building automation systems providing the highest level of data integrity.
When monitoring air in auxiliary areas, our portable units, such as the GT-521S or DR-528. offer multiple size selections and significant data storage.
Why is Indoor Air Quality Important in Hospitals?
Hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and medical laboratories monitor air filtration systems for microorganisms and particles to protect health and wellness of the patients. The GT-324 is well-suited indoor air monitoring where HVAC and Filter Performance follow ISO16890 and ASHRAE 52.2 standards.
