People flow, material flow and air flow and ventilation
are the main causes of contamination in cleanrooms.
Automatic decontamination for cleanrooms
Spectral Blue™
Spectral Blue™ is a new technology for disinfecting room air and surfaces automatically and continuously. It is based on antimicrobial visible blue light (aBL) and has been shown to be effective against all bacteria, yeast and mold - including multi-resistant strains.
Use of Spectral Blue™ to protect the cleanroom environment
Protection of staff with automatic disinfection such as checkrooms and clean rooms
Improving air flows and raising the cleanroom class in airlocks and cleanrooms
Automatic disinfection of materials in entrance to the production area
Causes of contamination
Chart 1: Most common sources of microbial contamination in cleanrooms (Tim Sandle, 2022)
What are the main causes of contamination in a cleanroom?
People flow
70-80% of contamination found in cleanrooms can be human-associated.
Material flow
5-15% of contamination found in cleanrooms can result from the handling of materials, equipment and water.
Air flow and ventilation
10% of contamination found in cleanrooms can be associated with problems in airflows and ventilation.

protects against the transfer of microbes between production areas.
Spectral Blue for cleanrooms
An automated way to prevent and control contamination in a cleanroom
Microbiological contamination in cleanrooms can often be traced back to changing rooms and material airlocks.
Install Spectral Blue devices in these areas to automatically reduce the risk of contamination entering production areas. Continuous use keeps these areas clean 24/7, providing superior performance compared to daily manual disinfection.
