Humidity control and drying for research and development facilities: FAQs

Why is humidity control important in pharmaceutical research and development facilities?

The materials, tests, equipment and employees core to your research and development suffer when exposed to high levels of moisture. To maintain stable humidity levels at all times, dehumidifiers are an important investment, as they:

  • Safeguard the health and focus of your staff

  • Improve the reproducibility of tests

  • Protect raw materials from contamination

  • Shield equipment from malfunctions

  • Enhance the condition of your cleanrooms and labs

  • Comply with health and safety regulations

With decades of experience in the pharmaceutical sector, reach out to our team for advice on the most cost-effective humidity control system for your facilities.

What are the ideal humidity levels for R&D facilities?

It is generally recommended to maintain a relative humidity (RH) of between 30% and 40% in your research and development facilities. This prevents bacterial growth and condensation from causing long-term issues.

How does high humidity affect equipment in research and development facilities?

Damp air damages cleanroom and laboratory equipment in a wide range of ways:

  • Rusting gauge blocks
  • Damaging spectrophotometers
  • Misting microscope lenses
  • Icing up freezers
  • Compromising pressure calibrator accuracy

Effectively manage moisture content for the benefit of your precision equipment. Talk to our experts about our superior environmental control solutions.

What types of dehumidifiers are used in R&D facilities?

Professional dry air technology, such as desiccant dehumidifiers and industrial dryers, is highly effective at managing unwanted moisture in the air. Combined with sophisticated measuring devices, this can make establishing ideal conditions both straightforward and sustainable.

How can humidity control improve experimental accuracy?

Dehumidifiers allow you to reproduce results accurately during your experiments by enabling you to create stable laboratory conditions for tests.

Can humidity affect material stability in R&D labs?

Yes. Overly damp air can cause product quality to suffer, causing materials to become clumpy, caked or entirely contaminated.

How is humidity monitored in pharmaceutical research and development facilities?

Moisture measuring devices, such as hygrometers, play a crucial role in helping you monitor humidity levels inside your R&D facilities.

With an expansive selection of professional equipment available, speak to our experts at Dantherm Group today.

How does humidity control prevent contamination in R&D facilities?

Creating a dry, stable environment with dehumidification halts the spread of bacteria, mould and other contaminants. This greatly reduces the risk of in-development medicine becoming contaminated along your production line.

Can I buy your humidity control solutions for my pharmaceutical R&D facilities online?

We don’t make our dry air equipment available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

Across all of our products, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting your enquiry and contact details.

How soon can you supply your dehumidifiers to my pharmaceutical sites?

This varies on a case-by-case basis. For some standard products, accessories and consumables, we can provide day-to-day delivery. For larger orders or more bespoke humidity control, there may be a longer lead time.

By reaching out to our experts we can put you in touch with your nearest local supplier so you can receive the products you require in the most timely manner possible.

Do you sell pharmaceutical humidity control systems to private consumers?

No. Dantherm Group’s dry air equipment is sold only to industry professionals directly from our offices, or via our extensive network of distributors.

What support do you offer for your pharmaceutical dehumidifiers?
