Establishing control of your cleanroom environment is critical to product and patient safety. With decades of experience developing and executing Environmental Monitoring (EM) programs in the pharmaceutical and manufacturing industry, Element's comprehensive cleanroom testing services help establish control of your aseptic space. EM methods and equipment are designed to capture microbial contaminants and non-viable particles in your critical environment - we can help perform testing no matter what your product or process may be. 

Environmental Monitoring is a critical component of any contamination control strategy, and we are here to help you succeed. Routine EM testing helps ensure the safety of patients and end-users in part by evaluating cleanliness of manufacturing and packaging equipment and testing the robustness of a sanitization program. A robust EM program ensures that non-viable and viable contamination is unlikely to occur. Pharmaceuticals and manufacturers must complete EM performance qualifications of their facility and demonstrate routine facility cleaning procedures. Whether you have an ISO 14644-1 or Annex 1 space, we can execute your Environmental Monitoring. Our EM analysts have extensive cleanroom experience, including testing in ISO 5 and Grade A environments.

Comprehensive EM programs are composed of testing using aseptic techniques; sampling personnel and gowning, surfaces, air, equipment and utilities. EM also helps provide evidence towards the efficacy of cleaning and disinfection programs, verifying validated cleaning procedures have been implemented effectively. ÈÕ±¾avÎÞÂëoffers comprehensive testing, while remaining flexible in our services offered. Element’s consultative experts also offer wrap-around services, including environmental monitoring mapping, filter integrity testing, cleanroom training, training of staff in proper aseptic practices, and a broad range of cleanroom consulting services.
