Connect 2 Cleanrooms has designed and built a cleanroom solution for Dubai-based XPANCEO, in developing smart contact lenses that display images directly on to the user’s eye.
Connect 2 Cleanrooms relaunched in January 2025 as a standalone brand, in a move to focus on the cleanroom lifecycle services it offers, and this project is the first glimpse into the busy schedule the company has plans for in 2025.
The hardwall cleanroom measures 5m x 3m and includes a change area, internal and external plug sockets, and UV window protection to protect the manufacturing and assembly processes. The main area achieves ISO Class 6 and the change area ISO Class 7.
Upon completion, the cleanroom was validated by the Connect 2 Cleanrooms validation team at rest, including tests such as particle counts, air volume tests and air change rates. Cleanroomshop team also advised on the most appropriate items to use within the environment, including coveralls, hoods, shoe covers, masks, stationery and monitoring instruments.
XPANCEO said, “We chose to work with Connect 2 Cleanrooms based on their extensive cleanroom construction experience, particularly on a global scale. The team assisted us with our initial draft of the cleanroom layout, ensuring the correct compliance was met throughout each area. The finished cleanroom in fact has a better class by air particulate on the level of ISO Class 5, which gives a good potential for higher quality processes and equipment upgrades we may work on in the future.”
