“How do I know if I have AMC?” Hopefully, you are not suspicious of airborne molecular contamination because of poor yield or customer complaints. We previously discussed how AMC can be a “silent poisoner” of your process and product; and we discussed sources of AMC. Instead of suspecting that you might have AMC, be proactive—head it off at the pass. Detect AMC before it ruins the product; avoid damage to your bottom line. There are two basic approaches to monitoring:

·         AMC on surfaces

·         Contamination in the air

Many monitoring techniques have been proposed or commercially developed.
