Glossary - Technical terms explained

Special furniture for hygiene-sensitive staff airlocks. They ensure strict separation between clean and unclean areas and maintain required hygiene standards.

Resistance of a material to disinfectants, cleaning agents, or laboratory chemicals.

These indicate how clean the air in a cleanroom is. The lower the ISO number, the cleaner the area. The same applies in GMP environments, where Grade A is cleaner than Grade D.

Design of furniture focused on hygiene, cleanability, and process safety.

Unwanted pollution of materials, air, or surfaces by germs or substances.

Hard-to-reach areas in constructions where dirt, particles, or moisture can accumulate. Should be avoided in GMP environments.

Good Manufacturing Practice. International quality guidelines for manufacturing, especially in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical technology. GMP ensures that processes are controlled and reproducible.

Glass - We exclusively use high-quality ESG-H (heat-soaked toughened safety glass) for our products.

International standard for classifying cleanrooms based on particle concentration. ISO classes range from ISO 1 (high-end research) to ISO 9 (normal ambient air). The lower the number, the higher the cleanliness requirement.

Area for the controlled transfer of materials, tools, or production equipment between different cleanliness classes.

Controlled movement of employees through changing rooms, airlocks, and cleanrooms.

Special benches, also called step-over benches, used in cleanroom environments.

A particularly pure, high-quality, corrosion-resistant steel. It is durable, stable, hygienic, and visually high-end.

Ceiling cladding made of HPL. Closed systems from the top of the furniture to the underside of the ceiling.

A product or system designed so that its function, cleanability, and suitability can be tested, documented, and consistently verified.
