Cleanroom Protocols:

A Cleanroom’s First Line of Defense: Contamination Control Starts Before the Gown Room

Contamination control in cleanrooms isn’t just about following protocols inside the controlled environment—it starts well before operators enter the gowning room. Many of the most effective cleanroom facilities take a proactive approach by implementing pre-gowning areas that reduce the risk of contamination before operators even begin the gowning process. This added step ensures a cleaner gowning room, allowing HEPA filters to focus on microscopic contaminants rather than visible particles like hair, skin flakes, and dust.

By adopting pre-gowning best practices, cleanroom facilities can minimize contamination risks, enhance product quality, and reduce the need for costly corrective actions.

In This Case Study, You Will Learn:

• The importance of pre-gowning protocols and how they enhance contamination control.
