Cleanliness Analysis and Bath Monitoring in Electronics Manufacturing
Verify the cleanliness of electronic assemblies and reliably monitor cleaning and rinsing baths with sound results, expert interpretation and clear recommendations.
Cleanliness and bath analysisReliable Results,
Expert Interpretation
Cleanliness analysis assesses residues and surface properties on electronic assemblies. Bath analysis monitors the condition of cleaning and rinsing baths.
ZESTRON evaluates your entire cleaning process using a broad range of analytical methods – from the surface cleanliness of your assemblies to the condition of your cleaning and rinsing baths.
Our experts select the appropriate methods for your specific requirements, interpret the results and assess the potential impact of residual contamination.
You receive a detailed technical report with image documentation, providing transparent and traceable results as well as clear recommendations for securing or optimising your process
cleanliness analysis from a single sourcePrecision You Can Trust – Down to the Micron
Contaminants such as flux residues or particles can significantly impair the functional reliability of electronic assemblies. Our purity analyses detect these residues with the highest precision – down to the micrometer level.
But we offer more than just data: Using state-of-the-art analytical methods, we assess the surface cleanliness of your assemblies. Our experts interpret the results and develop targeted measures to resolve existing issues and sustainably optimize your production processes.

bath monitoringReliable Monitoring for Stable Cleaning Processes
Consistently high bath quality is essential for stable and reproducible cleaning results.
Based on the bath samples you submit, ZESTRON analyses the condition of your cleaning and rinsing baths. Using standardised analytical procedures, we define monitoring parameters specifically for your application.
Regular bath monitoring shows how contamination levels and other relevant physical and chemical values develop over time. This allows intervention limits to be defined, the service life of the cleaning agent to be maximised and unnecessary bath changes to be avoided.
Bath analysis therefore supports process reliability while helping to reduce cleaning agent consumption and ongoing process costs.
