Q&A:
What is the EnviroTest used for?
- The EnviroTest is used for testing contamination levels in a clean room. The test allows the tester to acknowledge various contaminants that are present in the room, whether they are in gas form or airborne suspended particles. The test may also be used to demonstrate the importance of hand washing.
Is clean room testing necessary?
- Absolutely! The product ET1000 targets the prevention/ detection of microbial contamination & the detection of excessive bacterial endotoxins.
How can I, the buyer be sure of this?
- Our manufacturer on the EnviroTest product is Q.I. Medical, all of the company's products support a pharmacist's goal of complying with United States Pharmacopeia Chapter <797>. In this particular case, USP's focus is on specific quality assurance activities involving compounded sterile preparations (CSPs)
How long should EnviroTest agar paddles be exposed to air in a laminar flow hood, barrier isolator, clean room, and buffer room areas?
- Q.I Medical suggests an exposure time of 1 hour in hoods and other areas. Exposing an EnviroTest longer than 1 hour in the air flow has the potential of drying the media. It is most important to be consistent in the exposure duration.
