Biosafety isn’t bought. It is earned through good design, strict protocols, and constant vigilance. That’s why the best BSL 3 labs aren’t just chosen from a BSL 3 lab manufacturer. Establishing and maintaining compliance with a biosafety level is an ongoing process rather than a one-and-done event. Through this process, you want not just a…

From the Ebola and Marburg viruses to the Nipah and the Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) causing ones, many pathogens share a combination of factors. They’re extremely virulent, especially because of their potential for airborne spread. The lack of effective treatments and vaccines makes them notorious for their high mortality rates. They’re among the most lethal…

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed in our digital world of today, it’s the robust demand for servers and data centers, especially since the beginning of the generative AI era.  The leap has been in terms of not only quantity but also quality. Modern servers have made tremendous leaps in sophistication over the years. Today,…

An aerospace company needed a contamination-controlled space for the manufacturing and assembly of critical aircraft components. They were presented with a choice – a hardwall or a softwall cleanroom. Their particular application called for extremely stringent contamination and environmental control combined with high static pressure to ensure the integrity of the aircraft components. So the…

Scalable infrastructure for a data-heavy world  In the past roughly ten years, there has been a noticeable shift in the world of data centers. Primarily, we’re talking about brick-and-mortar structures giving way to prefabricated modular data centers. One of the main drivers of this transition has been cloud computing. Think Amazon Web Services (AWS) and…

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Pfizer and BioNTech decided, in March 2020, to work collaboratively on a vaccine. The partners chose two Pfizer facilities – one in Puurs, Belgium and another in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA – to develop processes and manufacture their vaccine candidates at an industrial scale. A formulation lab was built. An industrial…

In today’s hyper-competitive markets, agility isn’t just a nice-to-have; it is indispensable to stay relevant and competitive in whichever industry you’re a part of. Geopolitical shifts are influencing global supply chains, new technologies are being introduced at breakneck speed, regulatory systems are evolving to keep up with new technologies and operational practices, and market demand…

Embracing the modern way in a decades-old industry   Cleanroom technology is not new. For decades, cleanrooms have been the backbone of many industries from biopharma and biotechnology to semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and beyond – essentially, in any industry that demands precision manufacturing and strict control over environmental conditions. As the broader industrial and technological landscapes…
