Aseptically safe: cleaning in critical areas
Maintaining aseptic conditions in Class A environments—such as isolators, restricted access barrier systems (RABS), and biological safety cabinets (BSCs)—requires strict cleaning and disinfection protocols. This presentation explains the regulatory requirements for cleaning and disinfection in Class A areas. Taking these requirements into account, best practices for cleaning surfaces within the aseptic core area, including the […]
Introduction Hygienic Design
Die Präsentation erläutert Hygienic Design als ganzheitliche konstruktive Gestaltung von Anlagen und Umfeld, um sichere Lebensmittel zu gewährleisten. Zentrale Elemente sind reinigbare Konstruktionen, geeignete Werkstoffe, Fremdkörpervermeidung, gute Wartbarkeit und klare Zonenkonzepte. Die fünf Kernthemen umfassen Fabrikgestaltung, Versorgungssysteme, reinigungsgerechte Apparate, Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsprozesse sowie Personalhygiene. Hygienic Design reduziert Risiken wie Kontamination, Rückrufe und Kosten, verbessert Produktqualität […]
Planning Material Flow and Intralogistics in a GMP Environment
Planning material flow and intralogistics in a GMP environment places high demands on the layout—particularly due to hygiene zones, airlocks, and the need to prevent cross-contamination. This presentation demonstrates how these factors influence material flow and intralogistics, and which solutions can help combine efficiency and compliance as early as the concept design phase. Modular planning and automated transport systems enable […]

Introduction of a mobile decontamination system
The filling of a powdered antibiotic, a process that has been carried out for decades, takes place in a RABS within a cleanroom. The previous method of formaldehyde fumigation was no longer up to date, so alternatives were sought. These were found in H₂O₂ decontamination, with the aim of both keeping costs low and avoiding extensive structural modifications. This presentation covers […]
Professional HVAC maintenance in accordance with VDMA 24186
This presentation explains why proper HVAC maintenance in accordance with VDMA 24186 is crucial for maintaining stable cleanroom conditions—because if the air stops moving, the cleanroom stops functioning. The presentation covers the relevant maintenance steps for supply air, exhaust air, and recirculation systems, the condition of critical components such as filters, fans, and humidifiers, as well as typical weak points that can compromise the cleanroom. It also explains how […]
Flawless hygiene inspection in accordance with VDI 6022 in cleanroom facilities
This presentation provides a concise overview of how to properly conduct a hygiene inspection of cleanroom HVAC systems in accordance with VDI 6022. It covers the specific hygiene requirements in controlled environments, key inspection steps, and the evaluation of sensitive components such as filters, humidifiers, and air distribution systems. In addition, it identifies common sources of error in cleanroom practice and explains how to reliably avoid them. […]
Forward Thinking: The Future of Glove Manufacturing
Innovation doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel. Sometimes it’s about refining simple ideas that have stood the test of time. This presentation shows how the evolution of gloves—from the earliest forms of protection to modern insulated gloves—demonstrates the enduring power of practical thinking. We explore how traditional concepts continue to drive modern advancements […]
Quick In – Quick Out: Loading and unloading—but the smart way!
When discharging material from GMP class "B" to "E", it was previously necessary to carry out 3 airlock processes - one for each GMP class. This costs a lot of time and personnel. With the BECKER QuickOut ® airlock, this is now possible in just one step: thanks to an internal two-chamber principle with integrated chute, there is no longer any risk of [...]
Designing, Building, and Operating Energy-Efficient Cleanrooms
Hardly any other term has developed as much in recent years as the term "sustainability". But what does sustainability actually mean and what does it have to do with cleanroom technology? First and foremost, it means using existing resources sparingly and reducing the CO2 footprint, especially with regard to climate change. The presentation will [...]
