Particle College Educational Program Fall 2025

Comprehensive contamination monitoring training for all levels

Presenting Particle College®, a two-day deep dive into contamination monitoring tailored for professionals in both life sciences and semiconductor manufacturing.

Life Sciences / Pharma

• Ensure regulatory compliance with EU GMP Annex 1, USP <797>/<800>, ISO 14644–5.
• Gain confidence in particle data—reduce false alerts, improve sterility assurance, and support audits with strong environmental monitoring evidence.
• Learn air and liquid particle counting techniques in cleanrooms, isolators, and biopharma production suites.

Semiconductor & High‑Purity Manufacturing

• Boost yield and reduce scrap by detecting molecular and airborne contamination early.
• Optimize cleanroom certification processes and data analysis for tool performance and uptime.
• Master both air and liquid monitoring—including ultrapure water and chemical systems.

• Air Focus
