Modular cleanrooms are self-contained spaces with controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow for research and production. They can have hard or soft walls, be mobile, and come in various sizes and configurations. They can be used indoors or outdoors and are available in different ratings for different needs.

A modular cleanroom is a self-contained cleanroom, an area where temperature, humidity, and airflow are tightly controlled to keep the space clean and contained for the purposes of research, production, and related activities. The modular design allows for easy installation of a cleanroom into an existing facility without the need for retrofitting. The design can also be mobile, useful for tasks such as conducting an epidemiological survey in a community where such facilities are not available and researchers want to be able to work in the field.

The modular cleanroom design can have hard or soft walls and typically comes with a highly configurable design. It is possible to order multiples that can be stacked or linked to create rooms of various sizes and the structures can be equipped with various accessories. All modular cleanrooms are capable of controlling temperature, humidity and airflow. Inserts such as sinks, counters, cabinets, and so on can be configured within the cleanroom to meet customer needs.

The company can set up the modular cleanroom in its facilities and transport it as a standalone unit to the location where it is needed. This can be the interior of an existing building or a modular research facility under construction, with a variety of laboratories, offices and other facilities that will come together to create a complete facility. The modular cleanroom usually stands on its own indoors, allowing companies to install it and make it ready for use immediately without having to anchor it to floors or ceilings.

Modules may be needed to accommodate temporary overflow needs, especially in facilities needing an upgrade or buildings slated for replacement. The modules can go outdoors if there is no space to install them indoors, with fittings to ensure they are weather-tight and ready for use. Agencies and organizations in need of a mobile cleanroom can set up a modular cleanroom on a trailer to allow rapid deployment to the scene of a biological investigation such as an outbreak of human or animal disease.

Manufacturers of modular cleanrooms and supplies usually have a product line aimed at different needs. This can include expansions, allowing companies to expand an existing module to meet growing needs rather than having to order a completely new one. The company usually has cleanrooms with a number of different ratings, ranging from high-quality models for handling hazardous materials to models that meet less stringent standards that are still suitable for basic use.
