The year is now in full swing and the cleanroom sector is providing more twists and turns in its story. Financially, I don't think I have seen a time where cleanroom service and build providers are in more demand. As a consequence, something that has struck me while putting together this issue is how complex the issue of maintenance outsourcing is.For cleanrooms, outsourcing comes in the form of cleaning, monitoring and PPE as well as other such as organising paperwork. Aspects of, if not all of, these tasks can be performed in-house by your staff. But this will depend on your team, equipment and priorities. The complexity of maintaining cleanliness in a controlled environment means that an assessment of the cost of training staff versus the cost of outsourcing is a critical one.This issue features articles about common contaminants in sterile manufacturing, and a look at the changes in the regulatory scene in recent months, as well as other articles on best practice for containment.
