Autonomous disinfection robots for cleanrooms and healthcare environments
Loop Robots automates the disinfection process in aseptic cleanrooms, operating theatres and compounding pharmacies using the autonomous SAM-UVC robot. As a partner in the Pharma Alliance, Loop Robots offers a chemical-free, digitally traceable disinfection solution for GMP environments.
Loop Robots is a Dutch technology company that automates the disinfection process in aseptic cleanrooms, operating theatres, ICU units and compounding pharmacies. Its flagship product is the SAM-UVC disinfection robot: a chemical-free, residue-free solution that disinfects spaces using powerful UV-C light.
SAM-UVC makes the disinfection process faster, less dependent on human action and fully digitally traceable. This enables hospitals, compounding pharmacies and GMP production companies to raise the quality of disinfection while simultaneously reducing labour and material costs.

Loop Robots offers three core advantages with the SAM-UVC disinfection robot for critical production and healthcare environments.
With SAM-UVC, the disinfection process is automated, standardised and digitally documented. The robot navigates autonomously through the space, executes a programmed disinfection cycle and records every action in a digital audit log. Each cycle has consistent quality and is fully traceable, significantly improving the audit-readiness of the facility.
SAM-UVC disinfects exclusively using powerful UV-C light, without chemical biocides. No residue remains on surfaces or equipment, making rinsing or post-treatment unnecessary. This eliminates the risk of contamination from chemical residues and is particularly relevant in cleanrooms and compounding spaces where residue-free disinfection is essential.
Because SAM-UVC operates autonomously, a staff member can perform other tasks during disinfection. This significantly increases operational capacity per employee. Hospitals, compounding pharmacies and GMP production companies achieve a demonstrable time saving per disinfection cycle compared to manual methods, resulting in lower labour and material costs.
SAM-UVC uses only UV-C light, no chemical biocides. No residue on surfaces, no post-treatment required and no risk of chemical contamination.
Every disinfection cycle is automatically documented digitally in an audit log. Immediately available for quality control and inspection by regulatory authorities.
Because the robot operates autonomously, every cycle is executed identically. Human variation and errors are eliminated, leading to a reliable and reproducible disinfection result.
The use of SAM-UVC directly aligns with the stricter disinfection requirements of GMP Annex 1 for aseptic production environments, including digital documentation for the contamination control dossier.
Lower labour and material costs for disinfection through autonomous operation. Staff can combine other tasks while the robot handles disinfection.
SAM-UVC operates fully autonomously and minimises human intervention, increasing safety and reducing the risk of errors in the disinfection process.
Poly Temp Scientific supplies microbiological safety cabinets and flow cabinets used in the same aseptic environments where SAM-UVC handles disinfection. A validated flow cabinet combined with automated room disinfection creates a complete approach to contamination control in pharmaceutical production environments.
Within the Pharma Alliance, Loop Robots works together with partners such as Medexs for cleanroom construction and Elis Cleanroom for cleanroom clothing and hygienic consumables. Together they form an integrated approach to a safe and controlled production environment.
The revised EU GMP Annex 1 places stricter requirements on the disinfection process in aseptic production environments. Manual disinfection is susceptible to human variation and offers limited traceability. SAM-UVC from Loop Robots provides an automated alternative that is not only more reliable, but also directly fulfils the documentation requirements of a GMP audit dossier.
