Cleanliness Testing & Testing for Microcontamination

Innovatech Labs, an independent contract laboratory, is actively involved in the microcontamination realm of the hard drive industry. We have been correlated to perform cleanliness testing for Seagate and other hard drive manufacturers since 1994. Our lab participated in the creation of many of the IDEMA standards dealing with microcontamination. Testing for microcontamination is not a side line for Innovatech Labs. Through our involvement in industry groups and contacts made through years of testing, we often have a heads up on changes coming down the pipeline concerning test methods or acceptance criteria. In the past, this knowledge has saved our customers both money and aggravation.
