📢APTUK Members join us for our upcoming branch meetings - We have lots planned during January including the following:

🌟Aseptic Virtual Branch - Brings you - 'Regimes & rotation - cleaning & disinfection frequencies for regulatory compliance'
📅Join us on 28th January at 7pm - 8pm
We will be joined by guest speakers: Jane Forbes and Jacob smith from Eco Lab

What to expect from attending:
Cleaning and Disinfection regimes need to be designed specifically for the cleanroom facility and the manufacturing process. Since cleaning and disinfection are just part
of a set of control measures designed to reduce the presence of contamination, a basic
understanding of the types of microbial contamination and the efficacy of disinfectant and
sanitizers is needed to design a robust program. This presentation will explore different types of
cleanroom contamination and potential routes of ingress or proliferation, how to select
effective products, and design a robust regime, which includes rotation of a sporicidal agent.
