Reusable cleanroom equipment integration begins at the concept stage. All of our Mobile Cleanroom projects start with creating a three-dimensional concept that incorporates our clients’ existing equipment and develops a detailed needs assessment based on what you already own.
How Reusable Cleanroom Equipment Reduces Project Costs
At this stage, we identify the number and size of rooms your cleanroom requires while cataloging your existing assets. We then start considering which reusable cleanroom equipment can be integrated, asking critical questions:
- Will your existing equipment meet USP 797 and 800 compliance standards?
- Can it function in positive pressure or hazardous environments?
- What modifications are needed to make your current equipment compatible?
Typically, we supply all equipment going into the build. However, when it makes sense for a client to utilize their own existing components, we do everything possible to include those in the initial conceptual design and make customizations based on the equipment specifications for a more aseptic overall finish.
Why Use Reusable Cleanroom Equipment in Your Build?
During the initial assessment, we talk extensively with our clients about reusable cleanroom equipment utilization. This leads to informed decisions about whether current equipment should be integrated into the new mobile cleanroom, potentially saving thousands of dollars.
Our Equipment Verification Process
We conduct thorough checkups to verify your reusable cleanroom equipment:
- Performance specs – Is the equipment still running at specification?
- Regulatory compliance – Does it meet the regulations your mobile cleanroom must satisfy?
- Compatibility – Can it integrate seamlessly with the new design?
- Lifespan assessment – Will it provide reliable service for years to come?
What Makes Our Reusable Cleanroom Equipment Approach Different
One thing that distinguishes us from other Mobile Cleanroom developers is our dedication to working with the equipment you currently have, preventing double spending on items already in stock. This commitment to integrating reusable cleanroom equipment sets us apart in the industry.
Types of Reusable Cleanroom Equipment We Integrate
In our conceptual designs, we place all compatible equipment you currently have, including:
- Engineering controls – Biological safety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, compounding aseptic isolators
- Pass-through chambers – Existing transfer systems that meet current standards
- Refrigerators and cold storage units – Temperature-controlled storage already in your inventory
- Shelving systems – Cleanroom-compatible storage solutions
- Printers and documentation equipment – Label printers and documentation systems
- Other cleanroom-friendly appliances – Furniture, sinks, and specialized equipment
Each piece of reusable cleanroom equipment is evaluated for compliance, functionality, and integration potential before being incorporated into your final design.
Budget-Friendly Mobile Cleanroom Solutions Through Equipment Reuse
While integrating reusable cleanroom equipment changes the concept of delivering a complete plug-and-play solution at your doorstep, it provides significant budgetary relief to our clients. This approach maximizes your investment by leveraging existing assets while ensuring full compliance with industry standards.
According to USP standards from the United States Pharmacopeia, proper equipment integration is essential for maintaining cleanroom classifications and pharmaceutical compounding safety. Your existing equipment, when properly validated, can meet these stringent requirements.
The Reusable Cleanroom Equipment Assessment Process
Our comprehensive evaluation ensures every piece of equipment you want to reuse meets current standards:
Step 1: Initial Inventory
We document all existing equipment you’d like to incorporate, including make, model, age, and current condition.
Step 2: Compliance Review
Each item is checked against USP 797, USP 800, and other relevant standards to ensure it can function in your new environment.
Step 3: 3D Integration Design
We create detailed 3D renderings showing exactly how your reusable cleanroom equipment will integrate with new components, ensuring optimal workflow and compliance.
Step 4: Cost-Benefit Analysis
We provide a clear breakdown showing savings from using reusable cleanroom equipment versus purchasing new components.
Real Cost Savings with Reusable Cleanroom Equipment
By integrating existing assets, clients typically save 20-40% on total project costs. A biological safety cabinet alone can cost $8,000-$25,000 new, while existing units that pass certification can be integrated at a fraction of that cost.
Equipment Lifespan Considerations
Many pieces of cleanroom equipment have lifespans of 10-20 years when properly maintained. If your equipment is mid-lifecycle and still performing to spec, there’s no reason to replace it. Our team helps you make data-driven decisions about which reusable cleanroom equipment makes financial and operational sense.
Custom Mobile Cleanroom Design with Your Equipment
Our pharmacy planning experts work closely with you throughout the design process. We ensure your reusable cleanroom equipment is positioned for maximum efficiency, proper airflow patterns, and easy maintenance access.
Maintaining Plug-and-Play Benefits
Even with reusable cleanroom equipment integration, we maintain as much plug-and-play functionality as possible. New components are pre-installed and tested, requiring only connection to your existing equipment once the mobile cleanroom arrives.
Quality Standards for Reusable Cleanroom Equipment
We never compromise on quality or compliance. Every piece of reusable cleanroom equipment must meet the same rigorous standards as new equipment would. If something doesn’t pass our evaluation, we’ll recommend replacement options that fit your budget.
