Noise control in microelectronics clean rooms

Diversity of anaerobic microbes in spacecraft assembly clean rooms.

Although the cultivable and noncultivable microbial diversity of spacecraft assembly clean rooms has been previously documented using conventional and state-of-the-art molecular techniques, the occurrence of obligate anaerobes within these clean rooms is still uncertain. Therefore, anaerobic bacterial communities of three clean-room facilities were analyzed during assembly of the Mars Science L...

Bactericidal Technologies for Clean Rooms and Indoor Air Quality Applications

Bio burden is the most important contamination control parameter for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clean rooms. Additionally, in the general indoor air environment many sick building syndromes are attributable to microbial contamination. This article reviews the important technologies related to control of bacteria in indoor air. The scope is restricted to anti bacterial technologies for the...
