Wiping non-viable particles is traditionally a high cost, time consuming operation that consumes significant quantities of labor, WIFI, Sterile Alcohol and wipers.
Wiping Non-Viable Particles
Non-Viable Particles are reduced by MiraWIPE®'s woven, non-stretch, polyester/nylon microfiber construction
Wiping non-viable particles just became much less expensive as MiraWIPE® cleans much more quickly with less use of WFI and Sterile Alcohol.
Non-viable particle particle cleaning just became much less time consuming as MiraWIPE® cleans surfaces more efficiently, eliminating costly recleaning.
Wiping ISO Class 5 clean rooms requires a wiper that quickly removes disinfectant residues that lead to non-viable particle excursions. MiraWIPE® through a unique micro fiber construction with a sealed edge perimeter bridges this gap by enabling excellent pick up and entrapment of the most stubbornly adhered residues while minimizing abrasion related fiber generation.

Non-Viable Particle Alerts as Indicated by the Data
ISO Class 5 fill line surfaces monitored using a Q3 Surface Particle Counter:
- MiraWIPE® removes 98.8% of non-viable particles at 0.5 µm
- Polyester Wiper removes 98.8% of non-viable particles at 0.5 µm
