Chapter 4:
Performance Features and
Safety Precautions
All Purifier Series Logic Biosafety Cabinets operate using the following
principles:
Laminar airflow
Directional airflow
HEPA Filters
HEPA filters are disposable, dry-type particulate filters. The filter material or
media is typically made of borosilicate microfibers formed into a thin sheet,
in a process similar to the production of paper. This sheet is folded, or pleated
to increase its surface area. The pleats are held in place by aluminum
diffusers or by beads of glue that add rigidity to the media pack. The pack is
then set into a frame, and sealed as shown in Figure 4-1.
The HEPA filter manufacturer establishes the efficiency of the filter by
challenging it with an aerosol of known particle size. The number of particles
that penetrate the filter are quantified, and this establishes the efficiency of
the filter. Thus, the filters used in the Logic Series Cabinets are at least
99.99% efficient in removing particles 0.3 micron.
14
Note: The HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If
you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE
CABINET. Have the HEPA filter integrity tested by a certifier before using
the cabinet.
Note: HEPA Filters are only effective against particulate material. Gases
will pass through the filter.
Figure 4-1
Filter frame
Polyurethane seal
Between media pack
and filter frame
ULPA Filters
Optional ULPA filters may be used to replace the standard HEPA filters in
the Purifier Logic Series Biosafety Cabinets. ULPA filters have the same
properties as described above except they are rated at least 99.999% efficient
in removing particles 0.1-0.2 or 0.2-0.3 micron.
15
Laminar Airflow
Laminar airflow is defined as the movement of a body of air in a single
direction, with a uniform velocity. In practice, the laminar downflow of air in
the cabinet captures any aerosol generated in the work area of the cabinet,
and directs it to the HEPA filters. In order to be true laminar downflow, a
number of individual downflow velocity test points (The Downflow Velocity
Profile) must be +/- 16 feet per minute (0.08 m/s) of the average of all the test
points. This is illustrated in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2
16
Directional Airflow
Directional airflow also plays a key role in biosafety cabinet performance.
Air is drawn into the front of the cabinet at the front grille. This curtain of
air makes it more difficult for aerosols to escape out of the work area of the
cabinet and into the outside environment. This airflow is often calculated and
referred to as the Inflow Volume or Average Inflow Velocity. This is
illustrated in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3
17
Motor/Blower
The motor/blower assembly pulls room air into the front of the cabinet, and
re-circulates it internally. During its recirculation, the air is split into two
separate streams. One path leads through the exhaust HEPA filter and out of
the unit. The second path flows through the supply HEPA filter, which then
flows down through the work area, as shown in Figure 4-4. The motor in the
Purifier Logic Series Cabinet is an electronically commutated motor (ECM).
The ECM is a brushless DC motor that includes its own power supply to
convert the incoming alternating current to direct current, as well as its own
microprocessor to control and measure the motors operation. The motor is
preprogrammed to deliver a consistent volume of air, even as the HEPA
filters load over time.
Figure 4-4

Safety Precautions
WARNING: The Biosafety Cabinet Biohazard Cabinet should be certified
by a certification technician before its initial use. The cabinet should be
recertified whenever it is relocated, serviced or at least annually thereafter.
Do not assume that filter integrity and airflow performance have not been
compromised during shipping.
Some internal components of the Biosafety Cabinet may become
contaminated during operation of the unit. Only experienced personnel
competent in decontamination procedures should decontaminate the cabinet
before servicing these components. If you have any questions regarding
certification agencies, or need assistance in locating one, contact Labconcos
Product Service Department at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811.
DO NOT load more than 50 lbs. (23 Kg) in the work area. Exceeding this
limit may damage the worksurface and its supports. Excessive weight in the
cabinet may increase the risk of it overturning, or failure of hydraulic lift
stands, resulting in the cabinet and stand overturning. If your application
requires loading more than 50 lbs., contact Labconcos Product Service
Department at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for assistance.
Ensure that the Cabinet is connected to electrical service in accordance with
local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or
electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the Biosafety Cabinet from electrical service.
Avoid the use of flammable gases or solvents in the Biosafety Cabinet. Care
must be taken to ensure against the concentration of flammable or explosive
gases or vapors. An open flame should NOT be used in the Biosafety
Cabinet. Open flames will disrupt airflow patterns, burn the HEPA filter
and/or damage the filters adhesive. Gases under high pressure should not be
used in the Biosafety Cabinet, as they may disrupt its airflow patterns.
HEPA filters only remove particulate matter. Operations generating volatile
toxic chemicals or radionuclides must be evaluated carefully.
The media of HEPA filters is fragile and should not be touched. Avoid
puncturing either HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you
suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet;
contact a local certification agency or Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-3338811 for re-certification information.
The HEPA filters in the Biosafety Cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne
particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the cabinet.
The rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the room air,
operating time and the nature of work being done in the cabinet. The Filter
Gauge accurately displays the amount of filter life remaining.

will show a reduced filter life.
The graph is user-selectable as a bar graph with percentage displayed, a bar
graph only, or a semi-circular graph showing filter life remaining.
Various factors such as temporary obstructions to airflow, temperature and
barometric pressure can cause the displayed percentage to vary slightly.
Ignore short term changes in the Filer Gauges value. As the Filter Gauge
approaches 20% remaining capacity, consider having the cabinet filter
replaced.
When the optional airflow sensor is installed and calibrated, the inflow and
calculated downflow velocities are also displayed during operation.
