Aqueous Technologies Webinar Tackles Cleanliness Quantification Techniques
March 12, 2018 | Aqueous TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
There is a direct relationship between cleanliness and reliability. Most contamination-related product failures could have been predicted by cleanliness testing and thereby avoided. With industry standards changing, various cleanliness testing methods are being considered.
In line with this, Aqueous Technologies will be holding a webinar titled “Cleanliness Quantification Techniques... How Clean is Clean Enough?” on March 20, 2018 at 8am PST.
This 75-minute free webinar will present information on several post-reflow circuit assembly cleanliness quantification methods, including bulk extraction ROSE testing, localized extraction ROSE testing, ion chromatography, surface insulation resistance (SIR), presence of flux (chemical reaction), testing visual testing, and other cleanliness testing methods.
This will be presented by three industry experts: Mike Konrad, president/CTO of Aqueous Technologies; Terry Munson, president, Foresite Inc.; and Kalyan Nukala, application engineer, Zestron.

Fresh PCB Concepts: The Importance of Bare Board Testing for Reliability
01/15/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsManufacturing a clean PCB that functions during initial testing is not the same as manufacturing a truly high-quality board. The distinction between a PCB that is “good enough” and one that is built for long-term reliability often comes down to what the board has been subjected to long before it reaches the assembly line. While IPC standards outline a baseline for required testing, many meaningful evaluations a PCB can undergo are optional, and therefore inconsistent across suppliers.
