Contamination & Cleanliness

Contamination of medical and pharmaceutical products leads to failure and can cost vast amounts of money. Identification of any contaminants can be difficult, CERAM have a wide range of state-of-the-art non destructive techniques for identifying contaminants from ppm levels to percentage. After identification fingerprinting of suspect materials can be undertaken and the source traced and eliminated.

Achieving and maintaining surface cleanliness is critical to the medical and pharmaceutical industry.
CERAM offers a complete package for validation, through the VALIDATA package, including a unique cleanliness index to quantify product/process changes, troubleshooting facilities to help pinpoint and solve cleanliness issues and the availability of specially designed test coupons (either 'off the shelf' or bespoke).

The package also allows companies/organisations to receive official cleanliness validation and certification from CERAM for their particular products or cleaning processes.
