There are thousands of clean rooms in the micro-electronics, pharmaceutical, medical, laser, and fibre optics industries. Standards of air quality and monitoring and control vary. Typically control is at the micron level. However there is a shift towards sub-micron measurement and monitoring.

For example Nanoelectronics are expected to have replaced silicon transistors in ten years time. Viruses are typically in the nanoparticle size range and other biological agents such as enzymes, proteins etc. can be present in sizes below 100nm.
 
The clean room market will have a need for the Naneum 'SAC' range investigative instrument which is designed to be standard equipment in many laboratories. The instrument will be used for trouble-shooting, root cause analysis and the development and testing of abatement strategies. When supplemented by the Naneum WRAS range sampler device, operators of clean rooms will have at their disposal powerful and cost effective ways of diagnosing contamination sources and maintaining fit for purpose air quality.
