CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/659,235 filed on Mar. 7, 2005, incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention is drawn to the field of structures and laminations, and more particularly, to novel modular clean room structures and laminations for the life sciences and health-care and other industries. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The primary function of the Life Science Clean Room Wall Manufacturer is to create "aseptic" conditions throughout--systems that, by design, are easy to sterilize and will prevent microbial contamination. This is the FDA requirement known as "cGMP," which stands for current Good Manufacturing Practices. The FDA informally looks to U.S. Pat. No. 797 as the latest mandate for facility protocol in the life sciences. According to 797, all pharmacies, health care institutions and facilities where compounded sterile preparations are prepared stored and dispensed, are to adhere to even higher standards of aseptic protocol. For such products as "biologics, diagnostics, drugs, nutrients or radiopharmaceuticals, and such preparations as baths and soaks for live organs and tissues, implants, inhalations, injections, irrigations, metered sprays, ophthalmic and optic procedures," raising the standards of cGMP is the FDA's charge. [0004] To adhere to these requirements, wall manufacturers must construct and finish interior surfaces that are homogenous, monolithic, and free of seams, joints and open crevices that harbor bacteria. Typically, walls heretofore have employed mitered corner posts, surface applied corner moldings, hand-formed plastic radius or on-site thermo-formed corners. [0005] Most often, end users find themselves spending exorbitant amounts of money on excessive labor and materials costs to custom build these conditions. And, once achieved, end users still find themselves with a continuous problem--the inability to deconstruct or demount the wall system in a way that will prohibit contamination and reconstruction. [0006] In most cases, if not all, significant portions of wall systems are destroyed during retro-fit procedures, whether it's demounting or expanding. [0007] There is thus the need provide modular clean room structures and eliminations for the life sciences health care and other industries or applications that overcomes these and other disadvantages. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to provide modular clean room structures and laminations for the life sciences and health care and other industries or applications. [0009] It is another object of the present invention to provide modular clean room structures for the life sciences industries that are load bearing and non-load bearing. [0010] It is another object of the present invention to provide demountable (non-progressive) or installed (progressive) modular clean room structures. [0011] It is a further object of the present invention to provide novel clean room structures of the types described that provide smooth, seamless, readily cleanable structural interfaces when walls meet wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor and wall-to-ceiling that reduce if not eliminate the potential for microbial contamination. [0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide modular clean room structures of the types described or laminations that are lightweight and easy to fabricate. [0013] It is another object of the present invention to provide modular clean room structures for the life sciences of the types described that are usable with standard load-bearing structural materials such as Unistruts. [0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide such structures and laminations that are constituted as monolithic, homogeneous components of standardized sizes. [0015] Is a further object of the present invention to provide modular clean room structures or laminations that can be made up of various types of raw materials within the standard component framework. [0016] It is a further object of the present invention to disclose such structures and laminations that are interoperable and that can be integrated with other structures and/or laminations so as to readily meet the needs of a wide variety of applications. [0017] In accord with these objects, the present invention discloses homogenous, monolithic modular structures and laminations usable alone and together to provide easily wipeable aseptic smooth surfaces free of seams, joins and other crevices where bacteria and contamination may lay that is suitable for clean rooms for the life sciences and health care industries and other applications. The modular structures cooperate to provide load and non-load bearing self-standing walls in any configuration depending on the number and kind of modular structures utilized. The modular laminations of the present invention enable to clad over self-standing walls that are either newly built or already existing to provide aseptic, easily wipeable surfaces free of seams, joints and crevices were microbes could build-up. The modular structural and lamination components, that are usable together, provide the flexibility and versatility needed to satisfy the requirements of a wide variety of application situations in the life sciences, health care and other industries and other aseptic environments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0018] These and other features, objects and aspects of the present invention will become apparent as the invention becomes better understood by referring to the following solely exemplary detailed description of the presently preferred embodiments, and to the drawings, wherein: [0019] FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating corner, T-wall and wall subassemblies of the novel modular clean room structures for the life sciences in accord with the present invention; Continue reading about Modular clean room structures and laminations for the life sciences and health-care industries...
