GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide and liraglutide, are produced as sterile injectable medications, making contamination control critical. Any lapse in sterility can have severe consequences for patient safety. For example, in 2024, the FDA investigated a compounding facility after a patient found black particulate matter in a semaglutide vial. The investigation revealed that the [Read More…]

Cleanrooms are fundamental to pharmaceutical manufacturing and numerous high-technology sectors. Within these controlled environments, the presence of even a single foreign particle or microbe can compromise product integrity or pose risks to patient safety. Accordingly, the selection and quality of cleanroom consumables—including wipes, gloves, garments, swabs, and mops—are crucial. Utilizing high-quality consumables is essential for [Read More…]
High-quality consumables may have a higher initial cost, but they ultimately save money by preventing contamination incidents, protecting product quality, and ensuring regulatory compliance. A single contaminated batch of pharmaceuticals or a compromised device due to particles can lead to significantly higher costs from scrapped products, investigations, and regulatory penalties. By investing in proven, high-quality [Read More…]
Cleanroom consumables vary by type and grade. Always choose consumables that match your environment’s cleanliness needs.

Below are examples of how to select the right quality for your requirements: Wipers – Material & Cleanliness Class: Wipes are made from various materials, ranging from inexpensive [Read More…]
Not all wipes, gloves, or swabs are created equally. “Cleanroom grade” consumables are specifically designed and processed to minimize contamination. Cleanroom professionals evaluate consumable quality based on several key attributes: Minimal Particle Shedding (Lint-Free): The most critical factor is that the item does not shed fiber or particulate matter. High-quality wipes are made from continuous-filament [Read More…]
The Hidden Impact of Consumable Quality Consumables are often treated as ordinary supply items, but they play a crucial role in contamination control. Each time an operator wipes a surface or puts on a gown, the quality of the consumable determines whether contaminants are effectively removed or inadvertently introduced. A surface can never be cleaner [Read More…]
