ABN Cleanroom Technology, a provider of pre-engineered cleanroom solutions for industries such as healthcare and pharma, has reached the end phase of constructing a new SterCube VELOX outdoor cleanroom unit.
The project entails a SterCube VELOX with multiple hot labs and QC labs on the inside.
SterCube VELOX is a mobile cleanroom solution for outdoor use, meant for high-end studies at nuclear sites, so it is often called a Lab2Cube.
The classification of this cleanroom is cGMP Grade D.
To create a VELOX, ABN Cleanroom Technology configured several SteriCube compartments to become a fully functional cleanroom area with all needed utilities for a critical nuclear environment such as CDA, O2, N2, and Denim Water.
Jo Nelissen, CEO of ABN Cleanroom Technology, said: “The great thing about our SteriCube VELOX solutions, is that we never have to start our projects from scratch, but that we can configure our virtual and physical building blocks that are off-the-shelf available.”
“With this project approach, we are able to deliver a fully operational cleanroom and BSL on site in just 12 weeks -from quotation to hand-over to the customer,” Nelissen continued.
“SteriCube VELOX is currently one of our best-selling products due to its highly configurable and temporary character. We have previously installed multiple of these units on nuclear sites, which makes it a proven solution for operators working in that field,” Nelissen concluded.
The cleanroom is assembled in ABN Cleanroom Technology’s manufacturing hall and transported to customers in separate parts.
Further, as a result of its design for modularity and circularity, there was no waste of materials when separating the units for transport.

At the customer’s site, the separate parts were assembled back together after which ABN Cleanroom Technology’s Validation Department started its validation activities.
Also, a SteriCube always comes with an online monitoring system, which in this case was CleanConnect.
This allows the nuclear operator to always have insights in the parameters of the cleanroom area.
In addition, ABN Cleanroom Technology pointed out that in this type of working environment, safety is crucial. Therefore, measurements need to be real-time with alarms going on when environmental limits are exceeded.
