FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A smoke study is an airflow visualization test that verifies airflow patterns, contamination control and product protection in pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
A static study runs with no personnel or equipment movement, showing baseline airflow. A dynamic study simulates operations to evaluate how movement and equipment affect airflow under real conditions.
Smoke studies are typically performed during facility qualification, cleanroom validation, HVAC qualification, periodic requalification and contamination control assessments.
Yes. The revised EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) explicitly requires airflow visualization studies for Grade A and B areas to demonstrate unidirectional airflow and a state of contamination control.
Yes. RABS and Isolator smoke studies help demonstrate first-air protection, airflow performance and contamination control in Grade A environments.
Smoke studies can be performed in cleanrooms, aseptic filling lines, UDAF systems, RABS, isolators, LAF units, HVAC systems and material transfer areas.
4K recording captures fine airflow detail and subtle turbulence that lower resolutions miss, producing clear, defensible documentation for regulatory review and audits.
Incepbio provides a study protocol, Ultra HD 4K video recordings, annotated screenshots, a compliance report and corrective recommendations.
Duration depends on facility size and complexity, but most single-room studies are completed within one to two days, including setup, recording and teardown.
Yes. Our team can diagnose existing airflow issues, pinpoint the root cause through visualization, and recommend corrective actions to restore proper containment and protection.
Yes. Incepbio provides smoke study and airflow visualization services across Pan-India, Singapore, Malaysia and the USA.
