In industries where ultra-trace level metal contamination can impact health, safety, product integrity, or regulatory compliance, precision is everything. That’s why at Elemental Resolve, our commitment to high-precision trace metal analysis begins at the very foundation: our ISO 6 certified cleanroom. But what exactly is a cleanroom—and why should investors and stakeholders care?

What is a Cleanroom?

A cleanroom is a controlled environment designed to minimise airborne particulates, chemical vapours, and other contaminants. Measured by ISO standards, cleanrooms are ranked by the number and size of particles per cubic metre. An ISO 6 cleanroom, like ours at Elemental Resolve, allows no more than 35,200 particles (≥0.5µm) per cubic metre—a fraction of what's present in typical indoor air.

Why Cleanrooms Matter for Trace Metal Analysis

When analysing samples for metals at concentrations as low as parts per trillion (ppt), even the smallest trace of airborne contamination can skew results. Cleanrooms enable our analysts to maintain Total Quality Assurance by:

• Reducing the risk of sample contamination

• Supporting consistency and reproducibility in results

• Ensuring compliance with rigorous industry and regulatory standards

• Safeguarding the integrity of high-value or sensitive samples

The Investment Case for Analytical Integrity

From pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors to environmental monitoring and food safety, businesses are under growing pressure to provide defensible, accurate data. Our clients—and their investors—rely on data credibility not just as a quality benchmark, but as a business enabler. Cleanroom-driven precision protects brand reputation, reduces regulatory exposure, and supports market competitiveness.

Our Commitment at Elemental Resolve

We’re not just running tests—we’re setting benchmarks. Our ISO 6 cleanroom is a key part of how we deliver trace metal analysis at ppb and ppt levels, helping clients meet the strictest standards for contamination control, whether in product development, compliance, or research.

Conclusion

In the world of trace metal analysis, where nanograms can make all the difference, the environment matters. At Elemental Resolve, our cleanroom is more than a facility—it's a foundation for accuracy, integrity, and trust.
