Micronova Cleanroom Pens — Black or Blue Ink Options, 10 Pens/Bag (Ballpoint)
Micronova cleanroom pens are configured for controlled-environment documentation where technicians need a consistent, legible line for logs, travelers, equipment status notes, and point-of-use data capture without introducing ordinary office pens into a critical environment. These pens are typically selected when documentation must stay inside the cleanroom or clean production area and the program benefits from controlled packaging, consistent product lineage, and basic traceability expectations.

SOSCleanroom (SOS) has been a proud distributor of Micronova for over 15 years supporting critical environments. That relationship matters when you standardize cleanroom stationery: it supports continuity of supply, stable product lineage, and fast access to manufacturer documentation for QA/QC review and change-control.

Low particle risk management — and the reality check
A pen is a high-touch contamination-transfer object: it moves between gloves, paper, clipboards, drawers, and cart surfaces. Even when the pen is intended for controlled environments, contamination control depends on handling discipline. Keep pens bagged until use, avoid placing pens on critical surfaces, and standardize a “documentation-only” storage location.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
  • Zone discipline: Assign pens to a room/zone (ISO 5 core vs. ISO 7/8 support) to reduce cross-contamination and “mystery residue” events on paperwork and gloves.
  • Glove moisture control: Avoid writing with solvent-wet gloves. Solvent films are a primary driver of smearing, ink transfer, and residue on pages and clipboards.
  • Dry-time pause: Add a brief dry-time pause before stacking pages or closing binders/sleeves to reduce ink offset and transfer.
  • Controlled storage: Store pens in a clean pouch/drawer dedicated to documentation tools; do not store loose with tools that can abrade barrels and generate debris.
  • Tip protection: Avoid dragging tips across bench tops or garments before writing. If a tip contacts a non-controlled surface, segregate the pen for non-critical use.
Compatibility and wipe-down notes
  • IPA wipe-down tolerance: Not stated. If your SOP requires wiping documentation tools prior to use, qualify under your actual IPA concentration, contact time, and wipe material.
  • DI water / aqueous wipe-down: Not stated. If aqueous wipe-down is required, qualify for ink smear, swelling of grips, and residue transfer.
  • Disinfectant exposure: Not stated. If tools are exposed to bleach/phenolics/quats in your workflow, test for barrel print degradation and grip tackiness before standardizing.
  • Tip/click mechanism hygiene: Minimize disinfectant pooling near tips and mechanisms; trapped chemistry can cause residue and inconsistent writing.
Typical performance characteristics 
Performance characteristics are not published on the referenced SOS product page for this pen selection (tip size, line width, materials of construction, and traceability details are not stated). If your program requires those fields for qualification, request supporting documentation before standardizing.

Common failure modes 
  • Smearing / ink offset: Usually from solvent contact, wet gloves, or stacking pages too quickly. Prevent with dry-time discipline and glove moisture control.
  • Ink transfer to sleeves and binders: Occurs when paperwork is closed or sleeved immediately after writing. Prevent by staging pages flat until dry.
  • Residue carryover: Pen barrels can pick up residues from benches, pockets, or tool drawers. Prevent with controlled storage and “documentation-only” handling.
  • Particle shedding from abrasion: Loose storage with tools/clips can scuff barrels and generate fines. Prevent by storing pens in a dedicated pouch or bin.
  • Static attraction: In low humidity, pen barrels can tribocharge and attract fines. Prevent by avoiding rubbing against garments and following site ESD/humidity controls.
Storage and handling best practices
  • Keep pens in original clean packaging until introduced into the controlled area.
  • Store closed and segregated from abrasive tools and clips that can generate debris.
  • Transport in a clean pouch/drawer; avoid carrying loose pens in pockets where they contact garments and collect contamination.
  • If your program requires traceability, retain incoming packaging and align it to your material-release process.

Cleanroom Pens — Black or Blue Ink Low-Shedding Writing Instruments for Controlled Environments
1. Product Overview
Cleanroom pens are engineered for use in controlled and clean manufacturing environments where conventional office pens can introduce particulate, fibers, or ink contamination. These pens utilize low-shedding plastic components and controlled ink formulations designed to minimize smearing, flaking, and airborne particle generation during routine documentation activities.
2. Intended Use
  • Batch record and logbook documentation
  • Cleanroom labels, tags, and forms
  • Gowning room and material staging documentation
  • Manufacturing, QA, and maintenance records in controlled areas
These pens are intended for cleanroom-adjacent and controlled environments where particulate and residue control is required, but sterile instruments are not necessary.
3. Construction & Materials
  • Low-shedding plastic barrel and components
  • Controlled ink delivery to reduce smearing and flaking
  • Non-metallic construction to minimize corrosion and particle release
  • Available in black or blue ink for regulatory-compliant documentation
4. Contamination Control Considerations
Unlike standard office pens, cleanroom pens are designed to reduce:
  • Plastic burrs and mold-release residue
  • Ink particulation during writing
  • Fiber shedding from grips or labels
Proper use supports contamination control programs focused on particulate, residue, and foreign material reduction.
5. Regulatory & Program Alignment
Cleanroom pens support documentation practices aligned with:
  • ISO cleanroom operational controls
  • EU GMP Annex 1 expectations for controlled documentation tools
  • Good Documentation Practice (GDP)
These pens do not carry sterile or ISO classification claims and should be qualified internally according to site SOPs.
6. Storage & Handling
  • Store in clean, dry conditions
  • Segregate from standard office supplies
  • Do not introduce visibly damaged pens into controlled areas
  • Dispose of pens according to site contamination control procedures
Technical Note: This product is a non-sterile cleanroom consumable. It is not intended to provide sterility assurance or ISO room classification. Suitability must be evaluated within the context of each facility’s contamination control strategy, SOPs, and risk assessment.
