Particulate Identification & Cleanliness Laboratories
Particulate work combines counting and sizing with composition analysis, so a source can be identified rather than just a limit checked.
When is it used?
- Technical cleanliness specifications for components
- Visible particles in liquids or filled products
- Cleanroom and process contamination
- Filter and fluid system performance
Sample considerations
- Extraction method must match the applicable cleanliness standard.
- Use clean containers and avoid introducing airborne particles during sampling.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a particle count enough?
- A count shows whether a limit is met; identifying the particles is what allows the source to be eliminated.
