Basics of Isolator Cleaning: Proper decontamination and cleaning of isolators is critical to the long term success of materials produced in controlled environments.

摘要

Proper decontamination and cleaning of isolators is critical to the long term success of materials produced in these environments. Reducing the risk of cross contamination starts with a full understanding of the type of potential contaminants introduced before, during, and after the production process. Sterilization and spraying with disinfectants alone are not enough to remove residual particles that could result in the buildup of biofilms. Proper wiping and rinsing protocols are needed to ensure the total removal of contaminants and the cleanliness of the isolator.
