With the growing need for microbiological clean environments, room disinfection is a critical part of maintaining a microbiologically clean environment for a variety of purposes: manufacturing, employee safety in research environments, patient safety in hospitals, and contamination control.
Cleanroom disinfection is a routine procedure in many pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetic, and other microbiology industries. These industries are dependent on microbiologically clean areas primarily for production and R&D. Additionally, some industries are governed by regulatory bodies that impose standards for microbiological cleanliness and set requirements for regular, certified biodecontamination of certain areas. Pharmaceutical facilities have a number of areas that require regular disinfection procedures in order to provide a microbiologically clean environment. Typical biodecontamination procedures include:
- Annual shutdown biodecontamination
- Commissioning biodecontamination
- Decommissioning biodecontamination of areas used for pathogen work
- Eradication of problematic microorganisms from production lines and laboratory areas
- Emergency biodecontamination for accidental release or spillage of microorganisms
- Regular cleanroom biodecontamination
- Isolator and pass-through biodecontamination
