  • Page 5 Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Purifier® Vertical Clean Bench. Your enclosure provides product protection. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 30 years experience in manufacturing filtered enclosures. These enclosures will effectively provide product protection from airborne particulate matter. During operation, room air is drawn through the prefilter on top, forced through the blower and then through the HEPA filter and diffuser.

  • Page 6: Chapter 1: Introduction

    Chapter 1: Introduction ISO Class 5 Definition Airborne particulate cleanliness inside any clean bench or enclosure is designated by ISO Class 5, which is equivalent to 3520 particles 0.5 µm or larger per cubic meter of air per ISO Standard 14644-1. ISO Class 5 cleanliness is illustrated in the table to follow and is equivalent to Class 100 air conditions as defined by Federal Standard 209E.
