Cleanroom Fundamentals - Regulation, Science, Design, Practice, Operation & Management

Cleanroom Fundamentals - Regulation, Science, Design, Practice, Operation & Management is organized by The Center for Professional Innovation & Education (CfPIE), Inc. and will be held from Sep 14 - 17, 2026.

Description
This 20 hour cleanroom fundamentals course provides comprehensive practical information on microbial contaminants and contamination control in modern cleanrooms. Extensive guidance is presented on the daily functions and monitoring necessary to maintain required cGMP microbial and particle cleanliness levels in cleanrooms.

Topics to be discussed in this cleanroom facility training include:

• Basics of microbial biology and physiology
• Cleanroom management and cleanroom design requirements
• Sources of microbial contamination in cleanrooms
• Non-viable airborne particle standards and monitoring
• Airborne and surface microbial standards and monitoring
• Origin and minimization of pyrogen contamination
• Cleaning technologies and operations
• Disinfection and sanitization materials and techniques
• Rapid microbial monitoring methods
• Training methods for proper contamination control

Emphasis is placed on attendees sharing information on their practical cleanroom knowledge and experiences with the group.

An extensive appendix providing tables, technical discussions, and scientific literature references is included with the course notes and is intended to provide background material for attendees wishing to go deeper into the subject of cleanroom microbiology.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to understand and describe the following:

• Global regulatory requirements and guidelines
• Sources and management of contamination
• Essential cleanroom microbiology – for the non-microbiologists
• Effective environmental monitoring
• Investigation and CAPA
