Our innovative pre-engineered modular pharma system is at the core of every AES solution.

  • Per Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting viruses and other pathogens, any form of disinfection necessarily follows cleaning. The process of cleaning will remove any residues that might shield any virus or pathogen from the disinfection step that comes next. Disinfection, following thorough cleaning and rinsing, can be done with bleach solutions, 70% alcohol solutions, or other products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims. As outlined by CDC, bleach solutions should reside on surface for at least one minute and can be made as follows:

    • 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water, or
    • 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

    An excellent cleaning and wiping solution can be made with 0.5% (0.75- 1.5 oz/gal or 5 mL/L) Alconox® Powdered Precision Cleaner or Liquinox® Critical Cleaning Liquid Detergent, depending on preference for powder or liquid concentrate, respectively. Following which, per the CDC guidelines, wipe with the above bleach solution or other disinfectant solution. Allow wiped-down surfaces to sit for several minutes before rinsing to complete the disinfection.

  • The CleanFlow is a unidirectional, positive pressure, laminar air flow workstation.

  • Vertical or Horizontal Modules can be joined to form large zones of critical clean airflow within a larger cleanroom.

  • The AES Compass program mitigates undiscovered user requirements and space issues by helping you conceptualize the critical parameters of your cleanroom project upfront and extract the technical and strategic factors that will inform your cleanroom design.
