Frequently Asked Questions About Pharmacy Cleanrooms

Compounding pharmacies that dispense sterile and non-sterile drugs under USP 795, USP 797 and USP 800 guidelines and choose to have an isolated area within their current building.

Modular cleanrooms are assembled from wall systems made specifically for pharmaceutical compounding to fit into an existing space. Modular cleanrooms can be structurally fixed to a building, and therefore can be relocated or expanded, if desired. A completed Nicos modular cleanroom is a safer choice than a traditional construction cleanroom, because each component is easier to clean and maintain to help you avoid insanitary conditions.

It’s best to have a space that’s a minimum of 8’ l x 12’ w x 9’ h to assemble a single-chamber cleanroom. Of course, the more equipment, processes and personnel you need to accommodate, the more space will be required. For larger, higher volume pharmacies requiring multi-room cleanrooms, Nicos’ array of options can accommodate and optimize almost any size space and functionality requirement.
