Microcontamination Consulting for the Hard Drive Industry

Understanding the testing requirements and acceptance criteria specified by the different hard drive manufacturers can be difficult.  Let us help you sort through which tests are required for your specific part, how many pieces will you need for testing, etc.

Innovatech Labs is actively involved in the microcontamination realm of the hard drive industry. We have been correlated to perform cleanliness testing for Seagate since 1994, became correlated with Maxtor shortly after that and are currently working with Western Digital to become correlated. We 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.
