Louis Pasteur (1822–1895).

He disproved spontaneous generation, founded microbiology as a discipline and gave us pasteurization. His work laid the groundwork for asepsis and vaccination — everything a modern cleanroom still stands on.

HEPA — high-efficiency particulate air.

A HEPA filter removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 µm, the size that is hardest to capture. It is the backbone of clean air in cleanrooms, laminar flow hoods and isolators.
