Wipe test

The wipe test method for particle testing on surfaces is an effective method for checking the cleanliness and purity of surfaces. In this method, a special wipe test is carried out in which a suitable wipe is pulled over the surface to be tested. The aim is to pick up any particles present and analyze their number and size.

The wipe test enables precise monitoring of particles on various surfaces, whether in production environments, clean rooms or laboratories. By analyzing the wipe samples, contamination can be identified and cleanliness standards can be met.

This process is particularly important in industries such as electronics production, pharmaceuticals and other sensitive areas. It not only ensures the quality of the end products, but also contributes to compliance with the required hygiene and cleanliness standards. The particle surface wipe test is therefore an indispensable tool in quality control processes and helps to ensure an optimal production environment.
