Contamination control in cleanrooms for Life Science production

– State-of-the-art for cGMPs and industry practice
(aseptic and non aseptic operations)

This training covers the necessary requirements (regulatory and technical) to control contamination in production or research operations in cleanrooms, in accordance with the requirements of the FDA and the EMA.

Course description

The means of contamination and cross contamination control are discussed in detail (cleanrooms, micro-environments, zone, flows, cleaning, hygiene and behavior, …). For each operation (aseptic, dry forms, terminal sterilization, etc..), requirements and expectations of US and EU authorities are systematically compared to the techniques available, and then compared and translated into practical recommendations. The application exercises allows the participants to apply the recommendations of the course instructor to real life.
