The cleanrooms of today don’t look like the cleanrooms of some years ago – and how fortunate we are for that! Today, cleanroom systems are far from simple sterile spaces. They are designed and built with great care to meet sustainability needs, incorporate novel technologies, and address the growing demand for contamination control and precision…

Regulated manufacturing is a common feature across many industries today. In biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology and other healthcare-allied industries, manufacturing is regulated because of the severe risk to human health and lives in case of any contamination. In aerospace, defence, semiconductor manufacturing and other such industries, contamination control is necessary to ensure product integrity and…

In recent decades, cleanrooms have become an indispensable part of several industries. Traditionally associated with healthcare or biopharmaceuticals, cleanrooms have far wider applications across manufacturing, research and service delivery. They are critical elements in the biotechnology, medical device, electronics, aerospace, defence, automotive, and other industries. Not using cleanrooms for sterile or high-precision processes in these…

Modular construction has been around for a long time. While some historical accounts place the beginning of modular housing in 1920s and ‘30s USA, others go as far back as the 1600s – they cite the story of a colonial American fisherman who wanted to build his home with trusty English construction and ended up…

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have undergone a radical transformation over the past couple of decades – new classes of therapies, massive changes in vaccine technology, and advancements in laboratory and manufacturing facilities. Novel health products of different kinds have entered the market and many more are expected. Certainly, these innovations have the potential to…

Biosafety level 3 laboratories are critical elements of any well-prepared and resilient health system. They enable infectious disease research, public health protection, and biodefense against potential bioterrorism threats.   In the earlier section of this blog, we explored the context within which BSL-3 biocontainment labs operate. Now, let’s dive into the features that allow a…

Medical and pharmaceutical science have come a long way in the past century. From antibiotics and vaccines to diagnostics and novel treatments, the way we understand and treat infectious diseases has transformed human lives for the better. The speed and success with which Covid-19 vaccines were developed is testament to this fact – BSL-3 mobile…

Prefabricated modular cleanrooms are at the cutting edge of contamination control because they are a future-proof solution. Whether your business’ or lab’s future involves potential expansions, relocations, operational changes, or any other kind of evolution, a prefabricated modular cleanroom can, in most situations, adapt to your dynamic requirements.   More importantly, prefabricated modular cleanrooms are…

From outbreaks of malaria and RSV to bird flu and several other infectious diseases in humans and animals, the threat of public health emergencies constantly looms over us. Not to mention the impact of geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and other global factors that expand the geographical range of pathogens and exacerbate the spread of disease.…

“A child’s chances of surviving cancer are largely determined by where they are born, making this one of the starkest disparities in global healthcare.”   These are the words of James R. Downing, the Managing Director, President, and CEO of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a non-profit organization based in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. In its…
