Cleanroom Laboratory

Cleanroom Laboratory

Provides a cleanroom environment to accommodate various needs

In our Cleanroom Laboratory, we perform many kinds of experiments and evaluations of cleanroom environments, including experiments to verify airflow, degree of cleanliness, temperature, and other factors, analysis of chemical substances in the air, measurement of chemical substances emanating from construction materials, cell culturing related to regenerative medicine, and other work.
We have installed multi-step seismic isolation systems and high-performance dampers in our Cleanroom Laboratory as earthquake mitigation technology that we have developed to match the specific characteristics of the lab.

Bio Cleanroom (BCR)

This cleanroom can be used for verification experiments involving biotechnical cleanroom technologies required by pharmaceutical factories and medical institutions.

Chemical Testing Room

Various types of chemical experiments can be performed in a clean environment.

Instrumental Analysis Room

This room is equipped with a gas chromatograph, an ion chromatograph, ICP-MS, and other equipment that can rapidly verify cleanroom performance and investigate the cause of a malfunction.

Outgassing Testing Room

This room is equipped with chambers of various dimensions and is used to evaluate the emission of chemical substances from construction materials, furniture, and various other components and materials. It also supports countermeasures to chemical contamination and to sick buildings.
