DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE VERSION

Overview

In this first chapter of Valutek’s Cleanroom Product & Vendor Selection Technical Series, you’ll discover how to make informed, science-based decisions when selecting consumables and vendors for controlled environments.

By the end of Chapter 1, you’ll understand:

  • Why certain “cleanroom grades” of consumables are misleading
  • The importance of using data-driven criteria for product selection
  • How to leverage industry standards for optimal results

“Do not be confused or misled by vendors that perpetuate the bad science of marketing an environmental air quality cleanliness standard … for consumables used in that environment.”
— Jan Eudy, Cleanroom & Contamination Control Consultant
