Joint project proves suitability of quattroClean snow jet technology

(PresseBox) (Ditzingen, )

The surface cleanliness required for medical and pharmaceutical products is generally achieved during manufacture using liquid-based cleaning processes that consume enormous amounts of energy and water. In order to effectively reduce resource consumption, a joint project funded by Invest BW and involving industrial partners, Fraunhofer IPA and the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen investigated the material compatibility of the dry quattroClean snow jet cleaning technology on product surfaces typically found in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The results of the tests, which included in-vitro cytotoxicity tests as well as VOC and SVOC analyses, prove the suitability of the cleaning process for a wide range of applications. To lower approval hurdles, an extensive basic validation for life science applications was carried out in parallel.
