Microbial Monitoring and ISO 14698

The document discusses the ISO 14698 standard for microbial monitoring in clean rooms. It provides guidance for both air and surface monitoring, including recommendations for passive air sampling using settle plates and active air sampling using impaction and impingement samplers. The standard also provides guidance for monitoring biocontamination on surfaces and textiles.

Microbial Monitoring and ISO 14698

With the final publication and issue of EN ISO 14698,


Biocontamination control within clean rooms has now
been more clearly defined. The standard gives guidance
on both air and surface monitoring.

Guidance on determining airborne biocontamination is


given in Appendix A and seeks to assist users in
identifying suitable methods for both passive and active
monitoring. Passive devices are typically settle plates and
within the pharmaceutical industry the use of gamma
irradiated petri dishes is becoming the norm.

The active devices are split into two groups; impaction and
impingement samplers. Further guidance on biocontamination of
surf aces and textiles is given in Appendix B & C. Sampling devices
proposed are again settle plates, together with Contact plates and
swabs.

Cherwell is ideally placed in being able to offer solutions for the


passive monitoring of air and surfaces as well as active air
monitoring.

The SAS range of microbial air samplers offer the widest choice in
portable environmental monitoring. The range includes the fastest
sampling portable unit and the unique twin head Duo 360. All
models use a standard impaction method to capture airborne
particulate on the agar surface of either a Contact plate or Petri
dish.

The Redipor range of prepared media includes a significant selection


of gamma irradiated products for the pharmaceutical industry. Both
petri dishes and contact plates are available with many common
media types being available directly from stock.

Cherwell also manufactures a wide variety of bottled products


ranging in size from 5ml to 500ml as well as Broth in Bags. Full
certification confirming growth properties accompanies each batch
of product.
