Technical insights, compliance updates, and industry best practices from the PharmShield team.
AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) is one of the most misunderstood metrics in glove procurement. We break down what AQL 0.65 means, how it compares to 1.0 and 1.5, and why it matters for pharmaceutical environments.
Choosing the right glove for your cleanroom classification isn’t just about sterility — it’s about particulate counts, extractables, and packaging integrity. Here’s how to get it right.
Both materials have their place in pharmaceutical manufacturing. We compare chemical resistance, tactile sensitivity, allergen risk, and cost to help you make the right choice.
ISO 13485 is the gold standard for medical device quality management. We explain what it covers, how it affects your supply chain, and why it should be non-negotiable for your glove supplier.
Chlorination reduces surface tackiness and protein content in gloves. We explain the difference between single and double chlorination and when each is appropriate.
EN 374 defines how gloves are tested and classified for chemical permeation. We walk through the test methodology, Type classifications, and what to look for on the datasheet.
