Contamination control is a requirement in cleanroom environments. Whether you're compounding pharmaceuticals under USP 795/797/800, manufacturing microelectronics, or running a hospital pharmacy, the integrity of your controlled environment directly affects product quality, regulatory compliance, and patient safety.
Since 1971, Filtration Technology Inc. has served as a premier provider of contamination control solutions for high-stakes industrial environments. A Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), we specialize in the design and build of certified controlled environments for the pharmaceutical, aerospace, and microelectronics sectors.

A cleanroom is only as effective as the sum of its parts. Enclosures establish the controlled zone, but the filtration systems, structural elements, and consumables inside that zone determine whether it performs to specification. We categorize our offerings into three primary pillars to simplify procurement and compliance.
Enclosures define the physical boundary of your controlled space. Selecting the right structure depends on your ISO classification requirements, available facility footprint, and budget. You must also consider whether you need a permanent installation or a flexible, reconfigurable layout.
We offer three distinct types of cleanroom enclosures:
The design of these cleanroom enclosures requires careful calculation of airflow and pressure. At Filtration Technology, we verify that our cleanroom enclosures deliver the necessary seal and structural integrity for your specific ISO classification.
Once the enclosure is in place, the internal systems drive air quality. These elements include the filtration modules, structural elements, and environmental controls that maintain particulate counts within your required limits. High-performance cleanroom components function as the heart of your contamination control system.
Our cleanroom components maintain the functionality of the environment:
Integrating the correct cleanroom components helps the system operate reliably over a long lifecycle. We offer these cleanroom components to replace aging parts or to outfit entirely new builds from the ground up.
Everything inside a cleanroom represents a potential contamination source. Standard commercial furniture sheds particles. Cleanroom-rated furnishings utilize stainless steel, aluminum, coated, or other low-shedding materials compatible with cleanroom environments. These materials also withstand repeated chemical cleaning without degrading. Examples of furnishings we carry include:
Beyond furniture, maintaining a steady inventory of cleanroom supplies is key to supporting cleanroom uptime. Personnel represent the largest source of particulates in any controlled environment. Therefore, proper garments, gloves, and wiping materials are mandatory parts of the control system.
Our inventory features these essential items:
Sourcing high-quality cleanroom supplies prevents accidental protocol breaches. By utilizing professional-grade materials, you protect your production from unexpected contamination events.
Regulatory agencies like the FDA and USP require documented evidence of a cleanroom’s performance. We support this requirement through two primary service offerings:
Our technicians utilize calibrated, industry-compliant equipment—including laser particle counters and room pressure monitors—to verify your environment meets its rated ISO classification. We provide full certification documentation for regulatory submissions and internal quality records to prove ongoing compliance.
We can evaluate existing facilities and review specific contamination control requirements to help clients avoid costly design errors. For new builds or upgrades, our team advises on the most cost-effective path to compliance, leveraging deep experience with the pressure differential requirements mandated by USP 795, 797, and 800.
The required classification depends on your industry and process. Pharmaceutical compounding under USP 797 often requires ISO 7 conditions at the point of compounding. Semiconductor fabrication may require ISO 3 or 4. Our consulting team can review your process to determine the right ISO cleanroom class.
HEPA filters capture 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns. ULPA filters achieve 99.9995% capture efficiency at 0.12 microns. ULPA filtration is necessary for nanotechnology and specific semiconductor processes, while HEPA is sufficient for most pharmaceutical applications.
Yes. Modular systems use a bolt-together design. You can add, remove, or reposition panels without major construction. This makes them practical for businesses that anticipate future growth.
Filtration Technology Inc. has provided contamination control solutions for over five decades. Clients choose us for three primary reasons:
Founded by Richard A. Matthews, the first chairman of the ISO committee responsible for developing the ISO 14644 cleanroom standards used worldwide.
Over 45 years of cleanroom design, construction, certification, and contamination control expertise, serving organizations such as Boeing, Pfizer, NASA, and Johns Hopkins University.
We deliver cost-effective cleanroom solutions without compromising compliance, performance, or construction quality.
We provide comprehensive support from cleanroom design and installation through certification, testing, and ongoing maintenance.
Filtration Technology Inc. works with pharmacists, facility managers, and operations teams to specify and install environments that meet the mark from day one. Our team helps take the guesswork out of cleanroom compliance by designing and supporting environments aligned with ISO 14644 standards and stringent regulatory requirements.
