Putting together the July issue has been an eye-opener. As usual, this edition looks at hi-tech manufacturing processes outside the (bio)pharma industry and on this occasion, we go on a journey to the semiconductor, aerospace and 3D printing markets to find out what it takes to keep undesired particles at bay. Surprisingly, it is not just about having fully gowned personnel in ultra-clean facilities, but the innovative use of technology and the correct mindset that makes it possible.
We have asked a simple question: what does it take to prevent contamination in your business? The answer can be found in our latest issue.
