03.04.24 -- Mastering Cleaning Validation, Aqueous Cleaning, And More

A cleaning validation study involves testing manufacturing surfaces to ensure that they are being cleaned to an acceptable level of residue, documenting that testing data, and establishing procedures to maintain that level of cleanliness. Explore the steps involved in cleaning validation and what it provides for manufacturers.

This chapter of The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook explains what an aqueous cleaner is, what it contains, and how it can improve your cleaning process. Further, it delves into the various types of cleaning agents and takes a look at the history of each.

The use of aqueous cleaning in medical device/pharma manufacturing can provide numerous benefits in terms of efficacy, minimal surface contact, and reduced residue potential, as well as easier cleaning validation. Learn what is involved in an aqueous critical cleaning process, how to select the proper aqueous cleaner for your application, and more.

Critical cleaning requires careful selection of cleaning chemistry and methods to ensure adequate performance without sacrificing worker or environmental safety. This chapter of The Aqueous Cleaning Handbook explores aqueous detergent selection criteria as it fits into three broad categories: function and efficacy, health and safety, and environmental.

We understand how important it is to have clean laboratory equipment and realize that any “leftover” proteins, RNA, and DNA could potentially contaminate your next experiment. Learn about three of the best methods for cleaning proteins, RNA, and DNA from lab equipment.

Explore general cleaning concepts, important sanitary surface considerations, cleaning guidelines for cannabis manufacturers, ways to overcome difficult residues in consumer products and cosmetics, medical device reprocessing and cleaning applications, and everything you need to know about cleaning RNA and DNA in biopharma.
