What are sterile environments?
In addition to cleanrooms that control particles, some cleanroom environments also try to eliminate bacteria. These environments are called sterile cleanrooms, and there are two types. One type is a room where sterility is the main issue. Another type is a room where sterility and particle containment are the key concerns. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices are industries where sterile environments are used. Sterilization is a process where all organic material and/or bacteria is eliminated. This process is independent and not a function of “cleaning” or the particle removal process.
