HVAC and Cleanrooms

Lesson Code: PST-1210. This Lesson is aimed at personnel who require an overview of how HVAC systems are used in cleanroom environments to regulate airflow, pressure, temperature, and humidity, and how HEPA filters regulate air quality.

Cleanrooms - Rules, Control Parameters, and Testing

Lesson Code: PST-1265. This e-Lesson is aimed at personnel who require an overview of general cleanroom rules and the cleanroom parameters that are controlled, monitored, and tested in pharmaceutical and biologics facilities.

Aseptic Processing - Cleanroom GMP

Aseptic Processing – Concepts and Controls

Lesson Code: ASP-1101 (PREMIUM LESSON). This e-Lesson is for personnel in regulated industries who require an overview of Aseptic Processing, including technologies and techniques for contamination control and prevention, and procedures used to minimize bioburden

Aseptic Processing - Cleanrooms and Control Technologies

Lesson Code: ASP-1102 (PREMIUM LESSON). This e-Lesson is aimed at personnel in regulated industries who require an overview of how cleanrooms are used in Aseptic Processing, how cleanrooms are designed and operated, and the role of associated contamination control technologies such as HVAC systems, HEPA filters, pressure cascades, and airlocks.

Aseptic Processing - Gowning

Lesson Code: ASP-1103 (PREMIUM LESSON). Describes the different gowning requirements typically used in aseptic manufacturing facilities to prevent contamination of products. It emphasizes the criticality of following correct gowning procedures for different cleanroom classes using ISO 5/6, ISO 7 and ISO 8 as examples.

Aseptic Processing – Contamination Control

Lesson Code: ASP-1104 (PREMIUM LESSON). This e-Lesson is aimed at personnel in regulated industries who require an overview of the contamination prevention measures, procedures, and practices that are typically implemented in aseptic processing including the use of cleanrooms, cleanroom gowning, cleanroom cleaning procedures, microbial testing, correct cleanroom behavior, and appropriate personal hygiene.

Aseptic Processing – Decontamination and Sterilization Technologies

Lesson Code: ASP-1105 (PREMIUM LESSON). This e-Lesson is aimed at personnel in regulated industries who require an overview of methods typically used to decontaminate and sterilize equipment, consumables, containers/closures, and products as part of Aseptic Processing. Methods covered include moist heat, dry heat, hydrogen peroxide vapor, and filtration.

Aseptic Processing - Working with BIOSAFETY CABINETS

BRAND NEW PREMIUM LESSON. Lesson Code ASP-1106 Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs) are critical containment devices used in aseptic processing for the handling of biological materials. Their effectiveness, however, depends on operators/users having the required knowledge and skills to work safely and correctly at all times.
