In a cleanroom, the main source of contamination is us.

Skin, hair and every movement release particles and microorganisms into the air. That is why gowning, behaviour and training come before any technology: they are the first line of defense.

What would you add to that list?

ISO/IEC 17025.

The international standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Accreditation to it means results that are technically valid and traceable to recognised references — the trust behind every calibration certificate you file.

Thailand LAB International, Bangkok, 2 to 4 September 2026.

Three days on laboratory, analytics and life science supply. Instrumentation and testing carry the floor, which puts the fair closer to the QC bench than to cleanroom engineering.

A MAT reporter assay, and what it does to release times.

European Pharmaceutical Review hosts a webinar on 2 September 2026 on the monocyte activation test in reporter format, for rapid pyrogen detection. It stands as an alternative to the rabbit pyrogen test and to LAL, and the difference shows up in how quickly a batch can be released.

Endotoxin.

A heat-stable fragment of the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Even when the bacterium is dead, the fragment can still trigger a fever response — which is why sterility alone is not enough, and injectable medicines are tested to stay pyrogen-free.
