  • Page 10 Before you install the filtered enclosure, you need to prepare your site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the filtered enclosure, and other apparatus.
  • Page 11: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Chapter 2: Prerequisites Support, Vibration and Movement Requirements At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet and chemically-resistant work surface. Location and Air Current Requirements The Purifier Filtered Enclosures have been designed to contain hazards by negating typical cross drafts and turbulence within the opening.

    Chapter 3: Getting Started The Purifier Enclosures were also subjected to Biological Containment testing, using a modified Personnel Protection Test, as described in NSF/ANSI Standard Number 49. An aerosol challenge of approximately 5 x 10 Niger were released in the enclosure and appropriate air sampling equipment established the number of spores that escaped through the sash opening.
  • Page 24 High Performance Features: The patented* Purifier HEPA Filtered Enclosure and Purifier Class I Enclosure are designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist, and provide superior containment while operating at velocities between 75-105 feet per minute. The filtered enclosures have been tested to effectively contain toxic, noxious, and biohazardous materials when properly installed and operated.
