American drug provider Absolute Pharmacy has built a new cleanroom with the help of QleanAir.
Within the cleanroom, the staff uses aseptic techniques to keep the products safe and clean for the patients to use. Having a cleanroom also minimises the risk of the staff inhaling potent drugs like cytostatic and antibiotics.
Absolute Pharmacy provides drugs for patients treated at home or in long-term care facilities. With their new cleanroom from QleanAir, they make sure that the compounding is done in an efficient and safe way, protecting patients, customers, as well as employees.

After we decided that QleanAir was the right partner for us, the process continued to be very straightforward and easy. I would like to say thank you to the folks that I have met at QleanAir over the last couple of years
When Absolute Pharmacy moved to new premises, they chose to build a new cleanroom with the help of QleanAir. Within the cleanroom, the staff uses aseptic techniques to keep the products safe and clean for the patients to use. Having a cleanroom also minimises the risk of the staff inhaling potent drugs like cytostatic and antibiotics.
“The room has been a huge upgrade over what we had at our old pharmacy before we moved. Everything about it is an upgrade over what we had previously,” said Jerry Liliestedt, Vice President of Operations of Absolute Pharmacy.
The USP 797 cleanroom consists of an anteroom and a sterile compounding room, classified to ISO 8 and ISO 7 respectively. QleanAir designed, manufactured, and assembled the room. QleanAir also services and maintains the operation of the cleanroom.
“After we decided that QleanAir was the right partner for us, the process continued to be very straightforward and easy," said Liliestedt. "I would like to say thank you to the folks that I have met at QleanAir over the last couple of years. They have embodied what we try to create with our customers, a true partnership, as opposed to a vendor that builds a room and walks away at the end of the day. We look forward to continuing that relationship.”
