Wiskind Cleanroom Cleanroom Storage Cabinets FAQs

• What are cleanroom storage cabinets used for?

  Clean room cabinets are designed to provide contamination-free storage in controlled environments like pharmaceuticals, electronics, and biotechnology facilities. They are used to store tools, equipment, biological samples, garments, cleaning supplies, and sensitive materials while maintaining ISO cleanliness standards. These clean room cabinets help prevent particle contamination and often feature sealed doors, HEPA filtration, or desiccator options for humidity control.

• What materials are commonly used for cleanroom storage cabinets?

  Clean room cabinets are typically constructed from materials like stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grades) for durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. Other options include powder-coated steel, acrylic, or polypropylene for specific applications, such as chemical resistance or ESD protection. The choice depends on the cleanroom classification and compatibility with processes—stainless steel is popular in medical cleanrooms for its non-porous surface that minimizes particle shedding.

• How do I choose the right cleanroom storage cabinet for my facilities?

  Evaluating factors like your cleanroom's ISO class, storage needs (e.g., shelving vs. drawers), size, and features such as lockable doors, adjustable shelves, or integration with airflow systems. Consider whether you need desiccator models for moisture-sensitive items or pass-through designs for material transfer. Compare options like fully assembled vs. knock-down units for shipping efficiency, and ensure compliance with standards like ISO 14644.

• What are the different types of cleanroom storage cabinets available?

  Common types of clean room cabinets include garment storage cabinets for cleanroom apparel, desiccator cabinets for low-humidity storage, pass-through cabinets for transferring items between clean and non-clean areas, and general-purpose shelving units. Features can vary, such as ventilated models with HEPA filters or ESD-safe versions for electronics. Stainless steel cabinets often come in configurations like wall-mounted, freestanding, or with sloped tops to prevent dust accumulation.
