Medicine
Today clean rooms are an integral part of the complex of medical premises of various specializations. The use of clean rooms with high quality air purification from microorganisms guarantees the prevention of nosocomial infections and postoperative complications, ensures the quality of the analyzes carried out in laboratories of various profiles. Operating and intensive care units, intensive care units, specialized hospital wards (allergology, hematology oncology), childbirth units, PCR laboratories, cell therapy laboratories, diploid cells, stem cells are currently being designed and built as complexes of clean rooms.
Pharmaceuticals
In the production of medicines, a number of major polluting factors should be excluded: biological microorganisms, aerosol particles, chemical pollution. The pharmaceutical industry uses clean room systems that include rooms of different cleanliness classes for different stages of the manufacturing process. Multilevel cleanroom control systems for pharmaceutical purposes must consistently maintain and control such critical air parameters as cleanliness, temperature, pressure, exchange rates, airflow rates at critical points, and effectively manage these parameters at all stages of the production cycle. The layout of the premises should correspond to the logical sequence of production operations and cleanliness requirements, to minimize the possibility of mixing different drugs or their components, cross-contamination.
Microelectronics
Microelectronics requires the creation of clean rooms of the highest cleanliness classes. The cleanliness requirements in this industry are very stringent. The use of clean rooms in microelectronics has its own characteristics: the requirements for the cleanliness of the air in terms of aerosol particles come to the fore. The specificity of clean rooms for the needs of microelectronics is the device of perforated raised floors to improve the unidirectional air flow. Increased requirements are also imposed on the cleanroom grounding system, especially in terms of ensuring the absence of static electricity.
Optics and lasers
At enterprises engaged in the production of optical and laser technology, the requirements for the condition of production facilities are especially stringent. The production of lasers implies an absolutely clean room with ideally prepared air. Otherwise, the beam will burn dust and debris particles leaving traces. As a result, the risk of microscopic cracks and subsequent product failure increases. When the laser beam passes through, the air environment must be free from any micro-contamination, since obstacles change the energy characteristics, which directly affects the accuracy of the equipment. Companies in the optical fiber industry use ultra-pure silicon materials. Dust, dirt, tiny particles falling on the surface of raw materials can lead to the failure of the entire batch of goods. In clean rooms, parameters are monitored at each stage of manufacturing fiber optic products.
Food industry
Ensuring cleanliness in food production is becoming an increasingly important link in this technological chain to eliminate the risk of microbiological contamination. The main method of penetration of microbes into food is aerobic, therefore creating a clean air environment is the most important function of a cleanroom during their production. Clean rooms with a properly constructed filtration system and sterile air supply allow ensuring the safety of the technology for the production of certain food products - cold processing of meat and fish, baked goods, production of cheeses, various fermented milk products, as well as their packaging and canning. This ensures the safety and long shelf life of products and guarantees their quality.
Perfumes and cosmetics
Nowadays, more and more companies producing body care products, decorative and medical cosmetics are introducing "clean" technologies and using "clean" rooms for the production of cosmetics. When used, cosmetics and perfumes are in direct contact with the human body. Their contamination with various contaminants can cause diseases and allergic reactions. When developing clean rooms for the needs of the production of perfumery and cosmetics, the peculiarities of the technological process must be taken into account and the required level of cleanliness must be ensured. The use of premises with certified cleanliness standards ensures the possibility of bringing products to a wide international market.
Space industry
The production of spacecraft without the arrangement of clean rooms is impossible. The use of clean rooms guarantees high reliability of equipment that will be launched into space. In the space industry, clean rooms are used for the manufacture of solar batteries and photoelectric converters, warheads of rocket complexes, booster units, electronics and optical equipment, navigation systems, including for data collection and reporting.
Each technological stage has its own requirements for the design features of clean rooms and the class of cleanliness. The creation of individual units takes place in clean rooms of class 5 ISO - 8 ISO. In such workshops, both individual operations and the assembly of finished blocks are performed. 7 ISO clean rooms are suitable for the installation of optical instruments and mirrors on space technology. They have pass-through and airlocks to separate space. Indoors 7 ISO have 5 ISO zones that have unidirectional airflow. The final assembly of the spacecraft requires large-volume, ISO 8 clean rooms. The arrangement of clean rooms for the space and aviation industry should take into account special requirements - large volumes of premises, increased reliability of all structures, technological processes with materials used for functioning in space, work with special instrumentation systems. In clean rooms, the required light regime should be provided with certain parameters of brightness, no glare and flicker. In clean rooms for space needs, high automation of technological processes is ensured without the presence of people, since 70-80% of pollution comes from them.
Mechanical engineering
In terms of its development, mechanical engineering has long become one of the most high-tech industries. In contrast to clean rooms for cosmetics and medicine, the control of microparticles in the production room is of decisive importance for work in the field of precision mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics. Therefore, clean rooms in the mechanics industry is achieved through the correct layout of the rooms, the selection of special materials and the correct operation of the air treatment system. It becomes necessary to use double floors, a rigid ceiling frame with a large number of filters, teardrop structures. Air purity in the production of hydraulic boxes and shafts ensures a long service life and quality of operation of automobile engines, body painting, all other stages of production of expensive high-tech modern equipment.
Veterinary
One of the main tasks of the veterinary service is the prevention, detection and timely treatment of dangerous animal diseases, including zoonotic infections. Working with such infectious agents requires special laboratory conditions to ensure the biological safety of personnel and the environment. Clean rooms are used to create a network of certified veterinary laboratories in cities and regions. For these needs, the production of modular biosafety laboratories is of great importance. Clean rooms are also used for the production of veterinary drugs and vaccines, as well as in the network of veterinary clinics.
Biotechnology
Clean rooms in the biotechnology industry are most often used to create medicines (vaccines, antibiotics, serums, highly specific antibodies, etc.). The main task of cleanrooms in the biotechnological industry is to protect products, personnel and the environment from potentially dangerous microorganisms, toxins, and harmful chemicals contained in production waste. Cleanrooms in biotechnology not only maintain certain parameters inside, but also prevent the release of potentially hazardous substances outside their limits. Particularly stringent requirements are imposed on premises of this purpose.
In biotechnological laboratories, especially a high risk group of biological hazard, it is necessary to provide a number of protective measures against the release of material into the environment. This is achieved through the complete or partial isolation of rooms or work tables, zones, creating negative pressure relative to the external environment, equipping each work area with air locks, three-stage air purification, autonomous ventilation of rooms for working with infected plants and animals, equipment for special systems for utilizing biological material, providing personnel with special protective suits, additional protection of the autoclaves built into the walls.
The development of the design and equipment of a cleanroom for biotechnological needs should be carried out in strict accordance with the purpose and specialization of a particular room, which ensures the safety and efficiency of biotechnological research and production.

Military security technologies and biological terrorism
At present, the problems of using biological and toxic weapons are becoming especially acute. Currently, 12 countries are conducting such research. Five countries that are considered gathering points for terrorists have the potential to have bases for the development and use of biological weapons. There are about 1000 objects in the world containing collections of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. The intensification of extremist forces makes a real threat of acts of bioterrorism using the variola virus, anthrax pathogen and other biological agents, which can lead to catastrophic consequences. 2020 has shown how severe a massive epidemic of a new infection can be, even if it is not one of the most dangerous.
In this regard, ensuring chemical and biological safety is one of the most important areas for strengthening the country's national security.
The key role in these issues is played by the possibility of prompt deployment of medical institutions and means of localization in the focus of infection. These institutions include laboratories, hospitals, vaccination centers for the population, etc. The deployment of a biological safety system is carried out, in particular, by the forces of military units. This ensures the efficiency and professionalism of such actions. A living example is the work of Russian military doctors in the hotbed of the COVID-19 coronavirus in northern Italy. There, the deployment of modular mobile hospitals and laboratories brought in from Russia has saved many lives.
In this situation, the ability to prevent and eliminate serious consequences directly depends on the provision of military units and civilian medical organizations with everything necessary - modular container clean rooms that can be quickly delivered and deployed in the outbreak, equipment, medicines and protective equipment.
INEX manufactures and supplies mobile, rapidly deployable, modular biosafety systems, designed and built to the highest level.
