The Benefits of Low Endotoxin Products

Contec, Inc.'s article by Kathy Miscioscio discusses the importance of endotoxins, particularly in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Endotoxins are released from the membranes of decaying Gram-negative bacteria, and as a type of pyrogen, they can cause fever and pose serious health risks. These pyrogenic substances, particularly those produced by Gram-negative bacteria, are significant to the pharmaceutical industry.

Risk Analysis of Laundered Flat Mops for Cleanroom Use

In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, maintaining a clean and sterile environment is essential for ensuring product quality and safety. One important aspect of this is the use of cleanroom mops to clean and disinfect surfaces. However, recent studies have shown that the use of laundered flat mops may not be the most effective option for controlling contamination in cleanrooms.
