KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, announced today that Director of Science Adam Klett, PhD will present during the technical conference at the 2025 SMTA Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference. The event is scheduled to take place May 20-22, 2025 at the DoubleTree Amsterdam Central Station.
Klett, who also serves on the conference’s technical committee, will present “Impact of Testing Delays on Contamination Detection in Electronic Assembly Cleaning,” on Monday, May 20 at 4 PM.
The presentation covers a study investigating the effect of time elapsed between manufacturing and testing on contamination detection and reproducibility of results. The goal of the study was to determine whether the delay compromises the reliability of conclusions about cleaning effectiveness.
As presented by Klett, the results of the study provide quantitative insights into the effect of time on the detectability of contamination and the reproducibility of SIR test results. The findings of the study thereby enable manufacturers to better understand how scheduling delays may influence test outcomes.
The SMTA Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference, hosted by SMTA Europe, addresses a wide variety challenges and best practices for designing and manufacturing electronics devices to perform reliably when used in harsh environments. The 2025 conference features three days of technical programming including a keynote presentation each day.
For more than 35 years, KYZEN and the industry-leading Clean Team, including Klett, have remained dedicated to providing solutions to unique electronic cleaning challenges. For more information, visit www.kyzen.com.
