Clean Rooms

PHD has gained extensive experience working in sensitive controlled environments for our pharmaceutical and data clients. This has led us to establishing a capability to offer scaffolds built to reliable Clean Room Level PL3 and PL4 protocols.

CLEAN ROOM

What is a Clean Room?

A room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimise the introduction, generation, and retention of particles inside the room and in which other relevant parameters, such as temperature, humidity and pressure are controlled, as necessary.
