Cleanroom labeling program guidance
In controlled environments, consistent labeling supports traceability, material segregation, and procedural clarity. Cleanroom-compatible labels are commonly specified to reduce particulate contribution and adhesive residue compared to general-purpose labels.
As a secondary benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 emphasizes clear status identification and traceability for materials used in sterile and controlled processes. Cleanroom labeling products such as TX542 help reinforce these principles when integrated into documented SOPs.

Micronova Cleanroom Pens (PEN-01/02) — Black or Blue Ballpoint Pens for Controlled-Environment Documentation (10 Pens/Bag)
Micronova Ballpoint Black / Blue options 10 pens per bag Controlled documentation
1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

In controlled environments, documentation tools are contamination-control tools. The wrong pen migrates into a clean area, rolls under benches, gets used on packaging, then comes back to write on controlled paper — and your “simple” task becomes a preventable contamination pathway.

A cleanroom pen program works when it is standardized: approved pens staged at defined locations, controlled storage after opening, and basic “wipe-before-write” discipline when pens are handled with cleaning solvents or gloves that have touched process surfaces.

2. What this product is for
  • Cleanroom-friendly documentation: logs, travelers, equipment status notes, and point-of-use data capture
  • Programs that restrict standard office pens from entering controlled areas
  • Controlled kitting and staging at gowning rooms, buffer corridors, and clean production areas
3. Selection rationale
  • Program control: Dedicated pens reduce “unknown lineage” writing instruments entering controlled spaces.
  • Operator consistency: Standard pen type reduces variability in legibility across shifts and departments.
  • Point-of-use discipline: Packaging options (bag/case) support controlled staging and replenishment.
  • Documentation readiness: Intended for routine documentation needs without introducing improvised office supplies into critical areas.
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
Documentation tools are part of your contamination control strategy. We support customers who standardize best-in-class consumables to reduce rework, investigation time, and preventable deviations.
4. Materials and construction
  • Type: Ballpoint pen (controlled-environment documentation use)
  • Ink options: Black or Blue (site-selected)
  • Pack configuration: 10 pens per bag; case option available (site purchasing configuration)
5. Specifications in context

With cleanroom writing instruments, the operational win is not a single “spec line” — it is the control of the documentation pathway: where pens are stored, how they are introduced, what surfaces they contact, and how they are prevented from becoming mobile contamination vectors.

Specification Value Operational meaning
Pen type Ballpoint Supports general documentation without the heavy solvent/odor profile typical of permanent markers.
Ink colors Black or Blue Allows site-standard documentation conventions (blue for entries, black for copies, etc.).
Pack size 10 pens/bag Supports controlled staging and prevents “loose pen” migration.
6. Cleanliness metrics

Pens are typically selected as part of a controlled stationery program to reduce contamination and foreign-object risk from uncontrolled office supplies. Because cleanliness metrics vary by program and documentation package, treat your facility SOPs and risk assessment as the primary control point for how pens are introduced, stored, and recovered.

Practical note: The highest-risk failure mode is not the pen itself — it is where it travels. Define approved zones, storage rules, and end-of-life disposal to prevent “mystery pen” recurrence.

7. Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • SKU: PEN-01/02
  • Pack configuration: 10 pens per bag; case option available (site purchasing configuration)
  • Sterility: Not represented as sterile on the product listing; treat as non-sterile stationery and control introduction per SOP.
  • Traceability: For regulated programs, capture receiving details and prevent substitutions without approval.
8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is provided as a suggested starting point for customer SOP development and operator training. Every facility and process is different. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain appropriate QA approval before implementation.
  • Control staging: Store pens in a defined stationery station; avoid loose pens in pockets that migrate between areas.
  • Write-zone discipline: Keep writing tools away from open product-contact work unless explicitly allowed by SOP.
  • Recover and dispose: Define what happens to pens at end-of-life (no “mystery pens” re-entering the area).
  • Prevent solvent cross-contact: If pens are handled during cleaning, wipe barrels and caps before returning to the documentation station.
Suggested pairings: build a complete documentation + surface-prep kit
Documentation failures often start as surface-condition failures (oils/films) or uncontrolled tools (unknown pens/markers). Standardize the station so operators aren’t improvising.
Use case Recommended item Why it pairs well
Permanent marking where a ballpoint is not appropriate (bags, tags, non-critical surfaces) Micronova Cleanroom Irradiated Sharpie Markers (PEN-20-25IR) Gives you a controlled, familiar permanent marker option so teams don’t “borrow” office markers into clean areas.
Wipe-down of clipboards, bins, and write surfaces to reduce smearing and grime transfer Texwipe TX1009 AlphaWipe 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Standardizes wipe technique and reduces surface films that cause smudging, illegibility, and uncontrolled residue transfer.
Detail cleaning for hinges, seams, grooves, and corners near documentation stations Texwipe TX761 Alpha Polyester Cleanroom Swab with Long Handle Gets into geometries wipes miss; prevents grime buildup that migrates onto paperwork, sleeves, and gloves.
Glove standardization for writing + cleaning tasks in ISO 5 / Class 100 zones Ansell 93-311 Nitrilite™ Cleanroom Nitrile Gloves (ISO 5 / Class 100) Documentation is a process interface; cleanroom-grade gloves reduce operator-driven residue transfer to tools, stations, and controlled records.
Guardrail: Keep a “clean stationery” zone — do not set pens/markers directly onto process benches; use a dedicated, wipeable tray or station per SOP.
9. Common failure modes
  • Uncontrolled tool migration: Office pens enter controlled zones, then re-enter office areas — a two-way contamination pathway.
  • Pen stored loose: Loose pens pick up residues, then transfer to hands, sleeves, paperwork, and carts.
  • Solvent cross-contact: Pens handled during cleaning end up with residue films that smear ink and soil records.
  • Mixed station practices: Multiple pen types/colors and inconsistent staging increase documentation errors and rework.
10. Other stationery to consider

Programs often standardize both pens and markers so the right tool is always available and teams don’t improvise with office supplies.

11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • Documentation discipline: Supports consistent, controlled data capture inside clean production areas.
  • Contamination control: Reduces uncontrolled stationery items as a contamination vector.
  • Audit readiness: Standardized tools reduce investigation burden tied to illegibility, unknown tool lineage, and uncontrolled workarounds.
12. Source basis
