Cleanroom Certified Harp Rack: Zero Contamination Storage for Medical & Lab Glass

The Unique Contamination Risks of Medical Glass Storage

Medical and laboratory glass applications require strict contamination control that standard storage solutions can’t meet:

• Zero particle shedding requirements: Standard painted steel racks shed micro-particles of paint and metal as they wear, which can contaminate sterile cleanroom environments and medical glass products.
• Anti-static requirements: Static discharge can damage sensitive medical device glass components and attract dust particles to glass surfaces, requiring ESD-safe storage solutions.
• High-temperature sterilization compatibility: Glass used in pharmaceutical and biotech applications often needs to be sterilized before use, requiring storage solutions that can withstand autoclave temperatures and chemical cleaning agents.
• ISO 14644 cleanroom compliance: Medical facilities and pharmaceutical labs require storage solutions that meet strict cleanroom air quality standards, with no off-gassing or particle generation.

These requirements make standard steel and wooden storage solutions completely unsuitable for medical glass storage. Our cleanroom-certified Harp Rack is purpose-built to meet all these requirements, providing safe, contamination-free storage for sensitive medical glass products.

Cleanroom-Certified Harp Rack: Zero Contamination, ISO Class 5 Compliant

Our medical-grade Harp Rack is designed specifically to meet the strict contamination control requirements of healthcare and pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.

1. Zero Particle Shedding Construction

All surfaces of our cleanroom model Harp Racks are powder coated with a special medical-grade, chip-resistant polyurethane finish that will not shed paint or metal particles, even after years of heavy use. All welded joints are fully ground and smoothed to eliminate sharp edges that could generate particles if bumped. No exposed raw steel is left anywhere on the unit, eliminating the risk of rust or metal particle shedding.

2. ESD-Safe Static Dissipative Materials

All PVC divider sleeves and rubber bumpers are formulated with static dissipative additives that meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards for electrostatic discharge control, preventing static build-up that can attract dust particles or damage sensitive medical device glass components with electronic integrated circuits. The entire rack can be optionally grounded with a standard ESD grounding cable for use in ESD-protected areas.

3. Chemical Resistant and Autoclavable Components

All rubber and PVC components are formulated to withstand regular cleaning with harsh hospital-grade disinfectants, hydrogen peroxide sterilization, and even autoclave temperatures up to 121°C for full sterilization. This allows the racks to be fully sanitized between uses for applications requiring the highest level of sterility, such as operating room glass storage and pharmaceutical glass component handling.

4. ISO Class 5 Cleanroom Certified

Our cleanroom Harp Racks are fully certified to meet ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom air quality requirements, with no detectable volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, no particle generation, and no chemical leaching, making them safe for use in even the strictest pharmaceutical and semiconductor cleanroom environments. We provide full test certification for all cleanroom orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cleanroom classes are these racks suitable for?

Our cleanroom model Harp Racks are certified for use in ISO Class 5 (Class 100) to ISO Class 8 (Class 100,000) cleanroom environments, covering almost all pharmaceutical, medical device, and semiconductor applications.

Q: Can we get custom sizes for specific medical glass products?

Yes. We offer fully custom sizes to match any medical glass product, from small microscope slide storage racks to large operating room lead glass panel storage solutions.

Q: Are these racks suitable for MRI room use?

Yes. We offer non-ferrous aluminum construction and non-magnetic stainless steel hardware options for use in MRI and other magnetic medical environments, with no ferrous components that could cause dangerous projectile risks.

Q: Do you provide validation documentation for regulatory compliance?

Yes. We provide full material safety data sheets (MSDS), particle test reports, ESD test certificates, and compliance documentation to support your FDA, cGMP, or ISO regulatory audit requirements.
