GMP-compliant and touchless handling for more safety and maximum user comfort – discover the future of isolator cleaning.

By allowing touchless mop pick-up and disposal, the new PurMop BLACK® C4 Isolator Cleaning Tool eliminates cross-contamination and risks to the user. In combination with light weight and well thought-out functionality, this results in a unique user experience.

Thanks to its wide range of adjustment options, the PurMop BLACK® C4 makes cleaning even hard-to-reach areas effortless. The frame can be adapted flexibly to any situation by either separating it from the handle, locking it in a variety of fixed positions or moving it freely. When using the mops that are specifically designed for C4 (ID9-S or IF9-S), you also get integrated corner cleaning.

Features:

• Enables touchless mop handling
• Light weight (250 g) thanks to carbon fibre
• Mop attachment and discarding without hand contact
• Adjustable mop frame

PRESS RELEASE: Indutrade Acquires the Cleanroom Product Specialist Miclev

2024-07-02

Indutrade has signed an agreement to acquire all shares in the Swedish company Miclev Medical Products AB,　www.miclev.se/en, with annual sales of approximately SEK 130 million.

Miclev is a technical trading company specialised in high-quality products for detecting, identifying, eliminating, and protecting against microorganisms. The product offering includes culture media, diagnostic products, and consumables for safe microbiological processes in sterile cleanroom environments with high quality requirements, for the Nordic pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Miclev was founded in 1996, has 12 employees and is located in Malmö, Sweden.

"Miclev is a great addition to our group of life science companies. They have a strong product offering and high level of customer service, which in combination with very deep technical expertise and underlying market growth paves the way for continued sustainable, profitable growth", said Bo Annvik, President and CEO of Indutrade.

The closing takes place today and Miclev will be included in Indutrade's Business Area Life Science. The acquisition is Indutrade's twelfth in 2024 and is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Indutrade's earnings per share.

About Indutrade

Indutrade is an international technology and industrial business group that today consists of approximately 200 companies in some 30 countries, mainly in Europe. In a decentralised way, we aim to provide sustainable profitable growth by developing and acquiring successful companies managed by passionate entrepreneurs. Our companies develop, manufacture, and sell components, systems and services with significant technical content in selected niches. Our value-based culture, where people make the difference, has been the foundation of our success since the start in 1978. Indutrade's net sales totalled SEK 32 billion in 2023, and the share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in Sweden.

Cost savings alone should rarely be a reason on their own to undertake changes to cleaning and disinfection activities within the cleanroom environment. It is essential to ensure that quality is never being sacrificed in the drive towards reducing costs, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. However, reduction of costs can be a compelling element when combined with other drivers for change when considering continuous improvement.

By a wide margin, humans are the highest source of contamination in a cleanroom. Nearly 75% of cleanroom contamination comes from personnel and their activities. Contamination risk factors related to humans include worker behavior inside and outside the cleanroom, worker physiology, and cleanroom apparel. By helping maintain cleanliness and sterility, protective apparel can have a significant impact on the quality of your products and processes, while also protecting workers in the cleanroom.

Key Learning Objectives:

This free webinar by Dupont will use a storytelling approach to follow a Quality Manager's experience:

• Learn how to assess your risk related to cleanroom apparel
• Learn how to integrate your garment selection into your quality risk management system
• Understand the consistent performance, flexibility, and cost control of DuPont™ Tyvek® IsoClean®, a single-use solution
