Bone Up On Microcontamination Monitoring

PharmaManufacturing.com

Intimidated by microcontamination monitoring? Master the monster by attending Particle College, a two-day educational seminar held Feb. 8-9 in Boulder, Colo. Through presentations and hands-on experience, you will learn about particles, what they are, how they are detected, forces on particles, and what type of instruments are used to quantify these contaminants.

Professionals with real-world experience will instruct you on the mechanics of detecting particulates, will discuss the benefits and considerations of various monitoring techniques, and will offer insight on the future trends associated with contamination. Application engineers will be available throughout the course to answer your questions. Three separate courses are offered:

1. Aerosol Particle College
2. Liquid Particle College
3. Pharmaceutical Particle College.

Classroom choices include:

• Particle Physics
• Fundamentals of Particle Counters
• Airborne-Particle Counting
• Molecular Contamination
• Parts Cleanliness Testing
• Liquid Particle Counting
• Cleanroom Standards and Monitoring.

Demonstration stations include:

• In-Line Liquid ISPM
• CMP Slurry Monitoring
• Surfex Parts Test Station;
• Mini-environment Monitoring
• Surface Molecular Contamination
• Airborne-Particle Counter Maintenance
• Facility Monitoring Systems.

Particle College is sponsored by Particle Measuring Systems and will be repeated on Aug. 9-10. For more information or to register, go to www.pmeasuring.com/services/college.
