Why Technical Cleanliness Testing is Different
Reliable testing depends on more than owning an extraction cabinet or particle analyser. Knowledge, documented methods, experienced review and a controlled environment all influence the result.

A Complete Technical Cleanliness Ecosystem—Backed by Expertise, Infrastructure and In-house Equipment Manufacturing
Conation combines practical testing knowledge with its own extraction systems, particle-analysis software, controlled laboratory infrastructure and understanding of the complete cleanliness test. This lets us review extraction, analysis and reporting as one process rather than as unrelated steps.
Why Technical Cleanliness Results Can Vary
Two laboratories can test the same component and still report different results. The variation often comes from how the method is interpreted, controlled and executed—not only from the equipment being used.
Why Conation's Testing Approach Is Different
Our strength lies in understanding the complete Technical Cleanliness process—from component preparation and extraction to particle interpretation, reporting and laboratory implementation.

Standards
The applicable standard defines how contamination is extracted, classified and reported. Customer and OEM requirements are reviewed alongside international methods.
Process
A cleanliness test begins by understanding the component and requested result. The work then moves through feasibility, controlled preparation, extraction, analysis and review before the findings are discussed with the customer.
- 01Requirement and Planning
RFQ / Test Requirement
Review the component, applicable specification and cleanliness information requested by the customer.
- 02
Feasibility Review
Check whether the component geometry, handling needs and requested method can be supported.
- 03Sample Receipt and Preparation
Component Receipt
Receive and identify the component while preserving its condition for the planned test.
- 04
Test Planning
Define the extraction, analysis and reporting steps around the reviewed requirement.
- 05
Setup Preparation
Prepare the test area, equipment, membrane and materials needed for controlled handling.
- 06Extraction and Filtration
Extraction
Remove contamination from the specified component surfaces using the selected method.
- 07
Filtration
Collect the extracted contamination on the membrane specified for the evaluation method.
- 08Analysis
Gravimetry, if required
Determine the recovered contamination mass when gravimetric evaluation forms part of the test.
- 09
Particle Analysis
Examine and classify the collected particles using the analysis method defined for the project.
- 10
Result Review
Review the recorded data, particle images and observations before preparing the report.
- 11Reporting and Review
Reporting
Compile the test method, results, images and relevant observations in a structured report.
- 12
Customer Discussion
Discuss the reported findings and clarify the test outcome with the customer.
