University & College Cleanrooms: Precision & Protection
Cleanrooms support research, experiments, and innovation by providing a clean, isolated, and environmentally controlled workspace. To further research in the sciences, engineering, and related fields, many universities and colleges construct cleanrooms that meet US FED STD 209E and ISO 14644-1 standards.
Liberty Industries designs and builds custom, modular cleanrooms that university and college research departments trust for experimentation, innovation, and discovery. Learn more below.
Why Universities Need Cleanroom Environments
Cleanroom solutions for universities open the door to more research, more funding, and greater support for scientific programs. Investing in ISO-compliant cleanrooms allows faculty, staff, and students to conduct research and test designs that call for high levels of environmental control and isolation. Liberty cleanrooms have these benefits:
Creating an Environment for Advanced Research
Pharmaceutical, biological, electrical, and other types of research may require sterile environments free from pathogens, particles, and other contaminants that can disrupt or invalidate findings. Cleanrooms provide control over ventilation, airflow, temperature, air pressure, particulate contamination, and authorized access. As a result, research conditions remain controlled and secure.
Ensuring Compliance With ISO Standards
In many fields, best practices in research and development require compliance with US FED STD 209E and ISO 14644-1 standards. These define several classes of technical cleanliness for permissible quantities and sizes of particles, as well as a required number of hourly air changes. Our modular cleanrooms are built to meet the standards university users require.
Minimizing the Risk of Contamination
ISO-compliant cleanrooms protect samples, specimens, instruments, and tools from contamination. This can come from many sources including hair, skin particles, dust, and microorganisms, all of which pose risks to research processes and materials. Cleanrooms create dedicated space for research and experimentation without the risk of contamination found in standard lab settings.
Key Features of University Research Cleanrooms
University cleanrooms share many of the same features as industrial cleanrooms. Our cleanroom solutions for universities include the following features:
HEPA & ULPA Filtration
Cleanrooms rely on high-powered filtration systems to pull contaminants out of the air and push them away from the space. Choose between High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and Ultra-Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filters to maintain the right degree of cleanliness.
Customizable Designs Through Modular Construction
Liberty’s modular cleanrooms are custom-built to meet your needs. Common options include gowning areas, storage, tables, benches, workstations, furnishings with smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, and cleanroom accessories that support workflow and space efficiency. Rooms can be configured specifically to meet the space and process needs of the application.
What’s more, modular design means cleanrooms can change over time to meet evolving research or space requirements. A customized modular setup can be redesigned to accommodate changing research focus, new grants, personnel, and other expansions.
Environmental Control Systems
Cleanrooms require constant environmental monitoring and control over temperatures and air pressure. We use advanced monitoring systems for control over:
- Temperature
- Air pressure
- Humidity
- Filtration and particle counts
Custom Cleanroom Solutions for Academic Institutions
At Liberty Industries, we offer custom solutions for cleanrooms used in many college and university research settings.
Research Lab Cleanrooms
Academic research cleanrooms support research and experimentation in the sciences and engineering such as:
- Scientific investigations
- Precise experiments
- Monitoring of contamination-free cultures
- Materials development
Medical/Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms
Medical schools and pharmacology departments need high-quality, ISO-compliant cleanrooms that facilitate testing, monitoring, formulation, and production of therapies, devices, and processes.
Aerospace and Engineering Cleanrooms
Minimize the risk of particle contamination that can jeopardize fine electrical assemblies and precision materials. High-powered ventilation systems capture micron-level contaminants and specialized HVAC systems maintain optimal temperatures and airflow.
