SubscribeTerra's all-steel BioSafe Cleanrooms provide smooth surfaces, inside and out. They stand up to standard disinfectants and sterilization procedures and can be specified with anti-microbial surface coatings.
The BioSafe Cleanroom creates a rigid, self-supporting structure without a separate frame or external bracing -- a key advantage over competitor designs that require special permitting and contractor installation.
The modular design of these rooms makes them easy to assemble, disassemble, and reconfigure as needs change. The double-wall panels create a convenient installation zone for electrical conduit, gas and vacuum service lines, enhancing system cleanliness and appearance. In controlled temperature applications, this void can be insulated to optimize thermal stability and reduce energy costs.
The ceiling grid creates standard 2' x 4' bays for installation of Terra's standard HEPA or ULPA filter/fan units and lights, or optional UV sterilization and fluorescence detection modules. These rooms accommodate the full range of cleanroom configuration options, including air conditioning, dehumidification modules, and ventilation equipment (see information below).

Ordering Information
Use the catalog numbers below to specify the material for your application. A Terra application specialist works with you to develop the floor plan, panel heights and other configuration details you require. Standard 7'-high panels create a room that fits beneath a standard 9' ceiling. Select access door(s), ceiling modules and other standard Terra cleanroom modules to complete your system. See Configuration Overview.

The Bio-Safe Advantage -- Standard Features
Strong, Durable Materials
Select powder-coated cold-rolled steel, or 304/316 stainless steel panels and ceiling grid. Double-wall design creates a completely free-standing structure.
Noncontaminating gasket creates a smooth, cleanable surface (anti-microbial compound available). Double-wall design provides smooth interior and exterior surfaces with rounded corners to minimize cracks
Smooth, Easy-Clean Surfaces
Panels are precision-joined to create ultra-smooth surfaces that are easy to wipe down and disinfect. Sanaprene® elastomeric gaskets seal adjacent panels and eliminate cracks and voids that harbor germs and other contaminants. One-inch radius corners further simplify cleaning.
Double-Wall Panel Construction
Unique panel design creates strong, rigid structure without external bracing and accommodates flush-mount control panel and optional utilities -- electrical outlets, gas and vacuum ports -- without dirty, unsightly conduit.
Modular, Versatile Design
The versatile Bio-Safe design accommodates most of Terra's standard cleanroom components:
- Filter/fan units
- Lights
- Access doors (see below)
- Pass-throughs
- Strip shields
- Ionizers
- Fire Suppression
- Gas and Vacuum Utilities
