1 GENERAL

Class II Biological Safety cabinets with partial exhaust and protection barrier, the SCS cabinets, are
designed to protect both the material to be manipulated from contamination and to protect the operator and
the environment from microbial contamination hazards.
The dusted, filtered and sterile air passing through the main HEPA filter ensures optimum airflow laminarity
on the work surface, thanks to its even perforation and the frontal air barrier. The system is designed to
create a protective barrier and prevent exchanges between the internal, potentially biologically
contaminated air, and the outside.
SCS cabinets are Class II Biohazard cabinets, according to the definitions now adopted by all the main
international standards (example: EN 12469:2000) Suitable for the treatment of class CDC-2/3, DHSS-
B2/B1 micro-organisms, group 1,2,3 decree no. 626 “Safety in the work environments” and wherever a
product-personnel-environment cross-protection is required.
Especially suitable for applications such as:
– Manipulation of eziologic agents having a known pathogenicity on humans and animals.
Presence of high concentrations of biologic materials.
Presence of agents likely to cause genetic alterations or synergetic activities with other materials.
Oncogenic viruses.
Do not manipulate the products on the slotted part at the entry of the chamber, but in the middle of the work
surface.
The performances of the cabinets are detailed in the TESTING CERTIFICATE below, in compliance with
the requirements of:
– EN 12469 (2000)
Furthermore SCS cabinets fulfil the armonized standards EN 61010-1 as well as EN 61326 according to the
applicable European directives regarding the CE marking.
SCS cabinets comply with the above-mentioned standards ONLY if the instruments connected to the
electrical socket positioned inside the work chamber are "CE" marked or in any case it meets the above
mentioned standards aiming to avoid any electromagnetic interference.
All cabinets are provided with high insertion loss filters.
Cabinets can be supplied:
with supporting table. For stability reasons the instructions in the present manual must be followed, in
particular please see paragraph 4B. (SYSTEM and PERFORMANCES CONTROLS) and paragraph 5
(LIMITATIONS).-
without supporting table. In that case the customer must put the cabinet on a table or a supporting surface
suitable to assure its stability in all operating conditions, complying with all safety regulations presently in
force.

The company cannot be held responsible for malfunctions, damage to people or property due to
non-compliance, poor or no maintenance, or improper use of the cabinet.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 3

2 INSTALLATION

2.A INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECKS ON DELIVERY

Considering the critical nature of the use of the SCS cabinet and the need to keep it in optimum condition,
installation is very important.
SCS Biohazard cabinets are positioned on a pallet, wrapped in an extensible film and contained in a
package of multi-layer strapped cardboard.
After placing the cabinet in its site of use, opened the package and removed the extensible film, check that
the equipment has not suffered any dents or scratches due to transport or improper handling of the package.
In case of any further transport, packing and storage by the user after the initial period of use (e.g.: change
of laboratory or factory), contact the technical assistance service or the distributor for more accurate and
precise instructions or for assistance by specialized techicians.
SCS Biohazard cabinets, with or without package, should be always located in a room sheltered from rain.

2.B INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Install the cabinet away from drafts and heat sources (radiators, ventilators/convectors), to ensure proper
functioning. For instance, in a small room (<30 m 3), if an exhaust duct is used to expel air outside the
building, we recommend the installation of a grill in the room in order to provide an air supply equal at least
to the quantity entering the front of the cabinet to create the protective barrier.
- Install the cabinet in a well-ventilated room with a low degree of dust.
- The distance between the cabinet and the exhaust system (if present) should be as short as possible.
- Place the cabinet away from doors and windows, which may cause malfunctions
- Place the cabinet in places where there is little human traffic.
- The exhaust system should be installed on the roof or on a wall or through a window. Otherwise, it
can be connected to a chimney.
- The door of the room should be in such a position relative to the cabinet as to prevent drafts.
o Min. temperature: 5 °C
o Max. temperature: 40 °C
o Max. humidity: 80% at 31°C, linear drop in relative humidity down to 50% relative
humidity at 40°C.
o Pollution degree: II
The exhaust duct (optional), located on top of the cabinet, should be connected to the outside of the
building, in which case an anti-blowback shutter (code F72 799510) should also be installed on the exhaust
flange, as recommended by EN 12469.
Alternatively it is possible the connection with the conditioning plant, but the air must not be recycled.
If the cabinet is equipped with the exhaust motor fan it is possible connect this to a smooth channel with the
following features: diameter of 200mm and maximum length of 100 linear meters. The single-fan cabinet
can be canalized only with remote motor-fan and thought thimble connection (optional). Otherwise some
changes must be made in the extraction fan or a remote exhaust motor-fan must be installed. In both cases
the anti-blowback system and/or a thimble connection prevent air from flowing back into the extraction
channel.
Before connecting the cabinet to the mains power supply, check the necessary voltage and power indicated
on the plate near the power cable. The room must be equipped with an earth connection and connections to
the gas and/or vacuum networks, and an air exhaust duct must be installed outside the building.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 4

1. Exhaust air from the cabinet.
2. Air from the environment.
3. Bleed Air (100200 m3/h more than the exhaust air
1
flow rate from the cabinet) to a dedicated exhaust
fan (in the electronic board a voltage free contact is
available –see electrical diagram- to check when Microbiological Safety Cabinet
ventilation is ON).

For the connection to the gas and/or vacuum networks, read carefully chapter 2C.

The quantity of heat generated by the cabinet, if the air is not extracted ouside the room, is the following for
the eight models respectively:

SCS 1-3 400 kcal/h SCS 2-3 410 kcal/h

SCS 1-4 450 kcal/h SCS 1-4 460 kcal/h
SCS 1-5 500 kcal/h SCS 2-5 520 kcal/h
SCS 1-6 520 kcal/h SCS 2-6 540 kcal/h

This heat value must be added to the heat generated by any instrument (eg. connected to internal socket or
tap) used by the client in the work chamber.

ATTENTION: the installation must be done by technicians authorized or by the official distributor.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 5

2.C ELECTRIC/GAS CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION OF THE WORK SURFACE

The electrical connection of the SCS Biohazard cabinet is made by connecting the power cable located on
the upper of the right side of the cabinet to a suitable power point (see technical table) . When the cabinet
is connected, the green light on the control panel switches on..
When the cabinet is connected to the main supply it is compulsory to position the cabinet in order to reach
and disconnect the plug easily when needed, for example avoid to plug the cabinet using a socket
positioned behind the cabinet itself.
If stipulated by local legislation, insert upstream of the power line an automatic protection overload switch
provided with a differential relay, with a rated switching voltage no greater than 30 mA.

NOTE: regarding the electrical connection is necessary to use the cable supplied with the cabinet or a
suitable cable that can provide a 10A current.

The right side of the cabinet is can also be provided with two gas/vacuum intakes with manual taps one of
which is fitted with an electrovalve.
The size of the pipes for the gas connection is: 1/4”
The connection with the two gas/vacuum intakes is made according to the type of connection: town gas or
industrial gas (air, vacuum, nitrogen, etc.).
The cabinet must be connected by qualified staff to the town gas mains through an approved conduit for
safety reasons.;

NOTE: the gas that can be used with the standard tap configuration is methane, for other gas type it is
necessary change the tap model.
NOTE: No part of the cabinet is involved in explosion and/or burns/flames. Flammable gas is used (if it is)
by the customer under their own responsibility. Anyway the fuel gas is blocked by a solenoid valve in case
the air velocity is lower than the safety condition. E.g. the gas valve cannot be open if the safe air velocity is
not reached or in any case of air flow alarm.

For the installation of the work surface, proceed as follows:

- remove the protective paper from the work surface leant against the back of the cabinet, taking care
not to scratch its surface,
- open the safety front window,
- clean the work surface with a damp cloth soaked in alcohol or soapy water or with a commonly
available product designed for stainless steel,
- place the work surface into the work chamber, let the back to slide on the chamber's supporting bases
up to its back wall,
- close the safety front window.

2.D POSITIONING OF THE CABINET ON THE SUPPORTING TABLE

SCS-1/2 Microbiological Safety Cabinets can be supplied with the relevant supporting table, which they
have to be fixed to.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 6

After assembling the supporting table (see instructions at para. 15) put the supporting table on a flat not
sloping floor and be sure that all the parts of the cabinet, that can be opened (control board panel and sash)
are locked. Then position the cabinet on the table (See instructions at para. 16).

3 OPERATION PRINCIPLES

The following are the working principles of the SCS Biohazard cabinets.
The pressurized air pushed into the plenum of the main motor-fan passes through the absolute filter and
then downwards, in a laminar flow, into the working chamber.(A). From here, through the perforated
surface, having mixed with the external air (B) which enters the cabinet from the front opening, it is sucked
into the intake up channel situated at the rear and side of the work chamber (C). Part of the air is exhausted
(D) through the exhaust HEPA filter. This extracted air let air come in from the outside (front barrier)
ensuring the protection of the operator/environment from hazardous material manipulated in the work area.

4 OPERATION

4.A SCOPE

The biosafety cabinet SCS is manufactured in compliance with international standards for the protection of
the material, the operator and the environment against biological hazards of Class II and is suitable for the
manipulation of low- and middle- risk pathogenic agents (CDC-2/3, DHSS- B2/B1, NSF-1/2/3, D.L no. 626
group 1,2,3).
SCS cabinets are designed in compliance with the following standard:
- EN 12469 (2000) Microbiologial Safety cabinets

4.B SYSTEM AND PERFORMANCES CONTROLS

The SCS cabinet is provided with an automatic regulation system to keep the airflow speed in the work
chamber and the recycling air/extracted air ratio constant even with the progressive clogging of the two
HEPA filters up to the maximum pressure supported by the motor-fan.
The soft-touch control panel is microprocessor-controlled with a display showing all relevant data with
regard to the operating functions, the different alarms and the error messages.
The perforated work surface creates optimal airflow laminarity at working level, while the front longitudinal
slots create a protective air- barrier.
The vertically sliding safety glass sash is electrically operated. When the cabinet is running the work
opening must be 200mm; any moving of the glass activates an audible and visual alarm, which cannot be
silenced according to the EN 12469 standard.
When the cabinet is off the glass can be either opened up to the maximum opening or closed completely.
The front sash window can be closed and opened by pressing alternatively one of the two keys “arrow-up
and arrow-down” [8] – and the red safety key on the right (see paragraph 4E)
The further red key [16] is a safety measure for the operator, because the moving of the glass from the work
position is possible only if this key and one of the other two keys (arrow-up and arrow-down) are pressed at
the same time.

When the cabinet is on, any change of the work aperture invalidates the efficiency of the air barrier
protecting the operator, therefore if the operator presses the two keys at the same time he is
perfectly aware of the potential risk he is running

Furthermore a safety device is installed, which stops the motor-fans automatically when the cabinet is on
and the electrically operated sash window is completely closed.
To optimize the visibility inside the work chamber, the cabinet is ergonomically angled sloping-fronted (abt.
7 degrees sloping as to the vertical).
The CPU card is provided of a backup battery for the maintaining of the cabinet timer when a blackout
occurs. The battery model is: CR2032 3V

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 11

4.C REMOTE SIGNALS (OPTIONAL)

The electronic control board can be improved adding the following optional features:

Ventilation status (ON/OFF)

It is possible to obtain a 12 Vdc output to connect a led light or alternatively a Normally Open voltage free
contact to be connected to an external circuit.
There are two different working ppossibilities:
1 the signal starts when ventilation is turned ON and stops when ventilation is OFF.
2 the signal is flashing during the strart up phase of the ventilation and is ON when the correct air flow
conditions are reached.

Correct air flow conditions

It is possible to obtain a 12 Vdc output to connect a led light or alternatively a Normally Open voltage free
contact to be connected to an external circuit. That signal is closed when air flow rate is in the correct range
and it is open in case of any flow alarm.

External consent
On request it is possibile to allow ventilation to be turned ON by a remote volt free contact. When the
ventilation is turned ON the cabinet stay in stand by (start up) till the remote normally open contact is
closed.
If during normal ventilation the remote contact is open the following message will appear “REMOTE
CONTACT OFF” and the operator has to switch OFF ventilation as soon as possibile and then check the
reasons of the failure.

4.D INFLATABLE GASKET (OPTIONAL)

The optional inflatable gasket can be used to improve the sealing of the front glass during normal working
phase or during the sterilization of the unit.
The cabinet is supplied with a plastic pipe to be connected to compressed air line (at customer charge) or to
a compressor (available as option on request).
The gasket can be inflated only when the front glass is in working position or in completely closed position.
To inflate and deflate the gasket the “SET” [10] and “GLASS SAFETY” [16] keys have to be pressed at the
same time.
Since the gasket will be pressed against the front glass, in that case it is not allowed to move the glass and
the message “DEFLATE GASKET” will appear.
If the gasket is deflated, after 5 seconds, a pressure sensor will allow the front glass to be moved again.
In case the control panel is opened and the glass is moved, the gasket will deflate immediately if it is
inflated
The pneumatic circuit of the gasket is fitted with pressure switch in order to check the correct operation of
it.
In case of a pressure loss the alarm message “CHECK THE GASKET” will alert the operator.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 23

5 LIMITATIONS

PRECAUTIONS for the correct use of the cabinet

Listed below are the most important guideleines to be followed and the main substances to be avoided to
ensure the correct use of the SCS cabinet:
NEVER USE chlorine-based substances (e.g. sodium hypochlorite) as they are corrosive for the metal
structure of the cabinet, and in particular for stainless steel parts.
When the nature of the work carried out under the cabinet changes completely or following an accidental
spilling of pathogenic material, STOP working and start again only after having cleaned and sterilized the
cabinet,
DO NOT use ethanol as a sterilizing substance if a heat source is used under the cabinet,
DO NOT use cosmetic powders, nail polish, hairspray or cosmetics in general during work,
DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in the work zone,
AVOID substances that release explosive vapours.

In addition, when working with the cabinet, AVOID:

the introduction of extraneous material
the introduction of paper or cloth that might clog the holes of the work surface
working in the part of the work surface near the front opening of the cabinet (longitudinally slotted zone)
upstream contamination of the material, putting the hands or any object between the absolute filter and the
sterile material
working under the cabinet if the airflow has not yet been activated, i.e. when the display "STAND-BY"
appears, indicating that the motor-fans are not yet on. After the cabinet is switched on, and if the work
requires special sterile conditions, chemical sterilization of the work chamber must be carried out using a
cloth soaked in bactericide. Then wait for 20-30 minutes for the bactericide to take effect.
using in the work zone large-size bunsen burners, as the flame might damage the absolute filter located in
the upper part of the working area
manipulating pathogenic material not included in the categories indicated for Biohazard cabinets Class II
according to EN-12469.

Before opening the front window be sure that the inside of the cabinet has been properly decontaminated; in
fact this part can be potentially dangerous for the operator’s hands as well as for the laboratory air, which
comes directly into contact with, after opening the front window.

ATTENTION: the U.V. radiations emitted by the germicidal U.V. lamp can cause erythemas and
conjunctivitis. Avoid exposure of skin and eyes to direct radiation

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 24

6 OPERATING PROCEDURES

6.A PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before carrying out any type of work, the following conditions should be verified:
– that the cabinet power cable is connected to a power point at a suitable voltage and frequency as per
instructions shown on the label stuck near the electric cable
– that all alarm lights are off
– that the work area inside the cabinet is free from materials used during the previous session.

– that the cabinet has been sterilized in case of change in the nature of work to be carried out

6.B SWITCHING ON the SCS cabinet

To start the cabinet, proceed as indicated below:

1. turn on the light by pushing the blue button [7] (If the UV lamp [14] is on, it switches off)
2. be sure that the sash window is in the work standard position (see para. 4B.)
3. press the main key I/0 [1] (see chapter 4C.) and enter the password to switch on the cabinet. At first the
display shows “CHECK PANEL” and the corresponding control leds of the keyboard light up. Then the
message "STAND-BY" is displayed for about 40 seconds and the hour-counter starts operating
4. after 40 seconds of stand-by, the cabinet is ready for work. "STAND-BY" disappears from the screen
and the LAF and protection barrier velocities are displayed
5. wait for 20-30 minutes before starting work
6. during this period of time, introduce into the internal work zone of the cabinet only the materials which
are indispensable for the job at hand.

All movements made under the laminar air-flow cabinet should be parallel to the work surface, taking care
to work in the middle of the table to avoid upstream contamination (for instance, when taking a sample from
a bottle, hold the bottle gently but firmly with one hand, keeping it slightly inclined, and work with the other
hand, so that the air that comes into contact with the hand does not directly contact the inside, but rather the
outside of the bottle).

6.C SWITCHING OFF THE SCS CABINET

ATTENTION: Be careful that materials in the work area can be contaminated with pathogenic
material. Behave accordingly.
At the end of the work session, proceed as follows:
1. remove the material from the internal work chamber *
2. clean the work surface and the inside walls of the chamber, as indicated in the "Cleaning Instructions"
section (chapter 7A)
3. Let the laminar air-flow cabinet run for 20-30 minutes after the work is over (if no UV lamp is installed)
4. turn off the light by pushing the blue key [7]
5. press “I/0” [1] key switch and enter the password for switching off the cabinet (“up-arrow” for 5 times,
“down-arrow” for 4 times, then press “ENTER”).
6. slide the sash window completely down
7. In alternative to above point 6, if necessary, apply UV lamp (optional) on the back wall of the work
chamber, plug it into the internal socket installed on the right-hand side of the work chamber, slide the
sash window completely down and switch on the germicide lamp by pushing the "U.V." yellow key
[14].

7 MAINTENANCE

7.A INSTRUCTIONS FOR DAILY CLEANING OF BIOSAFETY CABINETS (by users)

Clean the outside of the SCS 1/2 cabinet, made of varnished iron-carbon sheet steel, using a damp cloth
soaked in soapy water or some other commonly available products for varnished metal surfaces. The
procedure to follow is:
switch off the cabinet and disconnect the feeding cable;
clean carefully all the varnished surfaces using a damp and squeezed cloth with soapy water or equivalent
product.
wipe all the surfaces using a soft cloth absolutely not abrasive.
Clean/sterilize the internal work chamber with a bactericidal agent chosen according to the type of
pathogenic micro-organism manipulated (e.g. hydrogen peroxide, ethyl alcohol, ethanol, phenolic
compositions, aldehydes, quaternary ammonium salts, etc.).
The procedure to follow is:
switch off the cabinet and disconnect the feeding cable;
protect your hands wearing gloves if required by the bactericidal agent you are using
spray the bactericidal agent on the side walls, the back wall and the work surface in a such uniform way to
avoid leaving not sprinkled zones.
do not spry the filtering upper zone to avoid damaging this part
wipe carefully all the sprinkled zones using clean blotting paper. Be sure to remove any residual of the
bactericidal agent.
If pathogenic material has been spilled during the work session, sterilize the work surface, then remove it
using the small handles mounted on the sides. Sterilize the spilled materials contained in the collection
basin located under the table and remove all spilled material by means of absorbent paper.
For thorough cleaning we suggest the use of a 70% ethanol solution or a solution of other bacteriostatic
agents.

WARNING: Never use solutions containing free chlorine (for instance, sodium hypochlorite),
which cause corrosion to steel and stainless steel, resulting in irreparable damage to
the cabinet structure.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 27

7.C INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FUMIGATION/STERILIZATION OF BIOLOGIC SAFETY

CABINETS

Procedure:
For gas disinfection, formaldehyde is evaporated in the tightly sealed sample chamber. The quantity of the
formaldehyde used depends on the sample chamber volume of the cabinet version to be disinfected (see
Technical Data).
Per cubic meter of sample chamber volume, at least 5 g formaldehyde must be evaporated with 20 ml
water (corresponds with 25 ml of a 20 % formaldehyde solution). The formaldehyde evaporates immediately
when its boiling point is reached. The required reaction time is at least 6 hours.
After the required reaction time, the formaldehyde should be neutralized by evaporating a 25 % ammonium
solution (10 ml per cubic meter of sample chamber volume).

Ambient conditions and accessories:

The temperature at the cabinet location should be approx 21° C, the relative
humidity should be between 60 and 85 %. To evaporate the solution, a heating
device with a container is required.

NOTE – Disinfection procedure!

A disinfection with formaldehyde must be performed in accordance with the specifications
of NSF 49/1992, Annex G. As this procedure has considerable risks, it must only be performed by
specially trained and authorized service personnel!

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 28

If you use a ENVAIR formalin vaporizer follow this propcedure:
1. after filling the two containers of the vaporizer according to the above-said instructions, the vaporizer
can be connected to the power point inside the cabinet.
2. set the timer at 6 hours.
3. cover the cabinet completely with a polyethylene sheet which is to be carefully sealed at the bottom with
adhesive tape (see enclosed picture 1); also the feeding cable of the cabinet must be sealed as shown
in the enclosed picture 2.
4. start the sterilization cycle by pressing SET and STATUS key together, digit the password (3 times
arrow up + ENTER). All the functions of the cabinet are deactivated except the power point. Now the
fans start working for 30 secs. at intervals of 15 min. for totally 8 hours.
CYCLE: abt. 1 hour of formaldehyde evaporation, 6 hours (time set with the timer) of fumigation
process, 1 hour of reagent evaporation. Total time : 8 hours.
5. when the sterilization cycle is over, the message “END STERILIZATION” is displayed
6. to go out of the programme press SET and STATUS key together, digit the password (3 times arrow up
+ ENTER)
7. At this point, after wearing protective gloves, protective musk and clothing the polyethylene sheet can
be removed and must be submitted to special waste disposal according to possible local regulations.
8. Aerate profusely the room in order to evacuate completely the residual gas and smell.

This fumigation operation is to be considered as a suggestion.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 30

Post-fumigation cleaning
Having performed fumigation, the manipulation of the filters is safe: however, this manipulation should be
carried out by technicians wearing protective gloves and clothing.
Before using the cabinet again any possible remains of the foregoing procedure of vaporization and relevant
neutralization (which can show, for example, as white dust) must be removed from the work chamber.

ATTENTION: for cabinets that are not connected to the outside, but recycling the air in the
environment, make sure that ambient concentration does not exceed 2.5mg/m 3, as
higher concentrations are harmful.

The company refuses all responsibility for the performance of such sterilization procedures or of
any possible consequences deriving from it, reminding that the full responsibility for the operation
lies only and exclusively with the properly trained operator-user.

7.D REPLACEMENT OF HEPA FILTERS (by technical assistance personnel)

10 TRANSPORT, PACKING and STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION: Disconnect the power and sterilize the unit before performing any of the following
operations

The following instructions are essential if the end user needs to transport, pack or store a cabinet after a
period of routine use (e.g. laboratory/plant relocation):
- Disconnect tubes for gas/vacuum
- If the cabinet exhausts to the outside of the building or is connected to the intake channel of the air
treatment system, remove the connection tube from the cabinet to the outside or cabinet to the air
treatment system. Be careful not to damage or cover with dust (or any other material) the exhaust filter
of the cabinet
- Remove the work surface and cover it with a protective film
- Close the cabinet front opening
If the cabinet is to be moved from one laboratory to another within the same building:
- on a table with wheels: it is sufficient to put the cabinet on the table; do not place it on one side or
on the back panel.
- by a forklift: put the cabinet on a pallet to ensure good stability and to protect the basin under the
cabinet and the front window against damage in transit
Take care not to damage protruding parts (e.g.: gas/vacuum taps, exhaust duct) when passing through
doors/windows
If the cabinet is be kept temporarily unused at final destination ,cover the cabinet itself with a protective film
(pluriball or expansible film) taking care to protect also the exhaust filter, especially from dust

12 TESTS PERFORMED ACCORDING TO EN 12469 STANDARD

12.A MEASUREMENT OF LAMINAR AIRFLOW VELOCITY

The LAF velocity is measured at 10 cm. over the bottom of the front window. The standard provides for the
reading in at least 8 points:

In our tests the readings are taken in 12 points as above-diagrammed. Each one of the 12 readings lasts at
least 1 minute. The velocity is measured with a hot-wire thermoanemometer with the following features:

Measure-Range 02 m/s

Precision (of the device including the probe) +/- 0.05 m/s +/- 5%

Working temperature from – 20 to + 70°C.

Resolution m/s

The average velocity is obtained by the following formula:

Average velocity = (V1 + V2 +…….+Vn) / n

n = number of readings points

V1, V2,…..Vn = velocities measured in the various points.
The average velocity must be within the range of 0,25 und 0,5 m/sec
Ensure that no single measurement differs from the average of all the measurements by +/- 20 %.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 46

12.B MEASUREMENT OF THE EXHAUST AIR VELOCITY

Measure the average velocity on the exhaust HEPA filter by means of an anemometer with the following
features :

Precision +/- 0.2 m/s +/- 5%

Working temperature from– 20 to + 70°C.

Resolution m/se

Being careful to set the device properly.

Report the reading of the average exhaust velocity (V) in the “Test Report” showing also the other data
requested i.e. the section (in m 2) of the exhaust duct (S1) and the section (in m 2) of the working aperture of
the cabinet (S2).
Now the air barrier velocity (VI) is given by the following formula:

VI = (V x S1)/S2

Also this value must be reported in the “Test Report”.

The air barrier velocity must be > 0.4 m/s

12.C MEASUREMENT OF THE NOISE LEVEL

For a correct testing the background noise in the laboratory with the cabinet off should not exceed 55 dBA.
The microphone of the phonometer must be placed at 1 m from the centre of the working aperture of the
cabinet between the glass and the work surface or 1m from any part of the cabinet.
The sound pressure level must not be over 65 dBA. (sound level according ISO 3746).
The measure taken must be reported in then "Test report".

12.D MEASUREMENT OF LIGHTING

Take the measure with a luxmeter placed inside the work chamber in the middle of the work surface.
Consider at least 4 readings points where the two side points should be 150mm away from the side walls
and the middle points will be spaced max. 300mm apart, if possible. Then calculate the average value,
which should be at least 750 lux.
Register the average value of the lighting in the “Test report”.

12.E MEASUREMENT OF VIBRATION

Take the measures with a vibration analyser, which is to be placed as follows according to the models:

– SCS 3 in the middle of the central section of the work surface

– SCS 4/5/6 : in the middle of the two central sections of the work surface

The test must be performed firstly when the cabinet is off and then when the cabinet is working.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 47

The difference of the taken values is the real datum of the cabinet vibration. This value should not exceed
0.005 mm RMS
Record the data in the “Test Report”

12.F CONTROL OF ALARMS

ALARM FOR MISFUNCTIONING OF MAIN MOTOR-FAN (LAF)

This alarm can be simulated by disconnecting the feeding cables of the main motor-fan. When the cabinet
is switched on and the “stand-by”period is over, check that the red light of the relevant alarm and the visual
and sound (buzzer) signals start.

ALARM FOR MISFUNCTIONING OF SECONDARY MOTOR-FAN (EXHAUST)

Also this alarm can be simulated by disconnecting the feeding cables of the main motor-fan. . When the
cabinet is switched on and the “stand-by”period is over, check that the red light of the relevant alarm and the
visual and sound (buzzer) signals start.

ALARM FOR REDUCTION OF THE EXHAUST DUCT CAPACITY

To verify this alarm, clog the exhaust duct gradually at the end of stand-by period and check that the red
light of the relevant alarm and the visual and sound (buzzer) signals start. Furthermore check that when the
clogged duct is cleared, the alarm stops.

ALARM FOR CHANGING THE STANDARD OPENING OF THE SASH WINDOW OF THE CABINET
To verify this alarm it is enough you move the front sash window from its standard work position by pressing
the relevant keys and check that the red light of the relevant alarm and the visual and sound (buzzer)
signals start. Re-position the sash window in its standard work position and check that the alarm stops.

ALARM FOR REDUCTION OF LAMINAR AIRFLOW VELOCITY IN THE WORK CHAMBER

During the normal working of the cabinet, cover the work surface almost completely with a PVC or
cardboard sheet and check that the relevant red light switches on. When the correct operating conditions of
the laminar airflow are restored, the alarm will stop.

OTHER ALARMS
With the help of technicians also the alarms for LAF and protection barrier velocity below the minimum
threshold or over the maximum threshold can be checked

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 48

12.G D.O.P TEST FOR MAIN AND EXHAUST HEPA FILTER

OBJECT AND PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST:

Check of the integrity of the HEPA filters through an analysis of the filtering system, able to find out possible
small leaks and/or defects altering the efficiency of the filters and at the same time to test leaks around
gaskets.
The HEPA filter system fitted to the cabinet is tested for leakage by subjecting it to an aerosol on the
upstream side and measuring passage of the aerosol to the downstream side

INSTRUMENTS TO BE USED FOR TESTING :

1. Aerosol generator
2. Photometer

REAGENTS:

Liquid aerosol agent composed of Emery 3004 or equivalent in concentration of 60 microg./l.

Suitable measures must be taken to prevent or reduce the operator’s exposure to aerosol.

TEST PROCEDURE:

The photometer must be used at a threshold sensitivity specific to the test aerosol of 0.0001 micro-g/l and
capable of measuring aerosol concentrations up to about 80 micro-g./l.
The test must be performed as follows:
– Place the aerosol generator in such a way that the aerosol produced is immediately catched by the
barrier airflow and then recycled into the intake channel
– Switch the generator on and adjust the photometer to give a reading of 100% when sampling this
concentration
– Ensure that the threshold of reading sensitivity of the photometer is 0.0001 microg./l.
– Operate the cabinet with airflow velocity as per specs.
– Using a sampling probe attached to the photometer scan the main and exhaust filter faces, seals and
construction joints, moving the sampling probe at not more than 30 mm/s
– Check the values read by the photometer constantly, in order to detect possible leakage.
– Acceptance criteria: downstream reading must be less or equal to 0.01%

12.H INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLEANING TEST OF BIOLOGICAL SAFETY
CABINETS

ATTENTION: Before carrying out the cleaning test wear the suitable rubber gloves to avoid direct
contact with parts potentially contaminated.

The first step of the test is to pour some drops of milk inside the work chamber on several points included
those more difficult because near the edges and corners.
Then the whole work chamber must be cleaned and brushed carefully, at first by using a lukewarm solution
of water and soap (for the cleaning use a sponge and in the most critical points a brush) and then, after
wiping the whole chamber, isopropylic alcohol.
The check that all contaminants have been removed can be performed by means of a microbiological test
called IGIENTEST HACCP 100, which is able to find out the presence of residual proteins and sugar, or
equivalent

Method:
1. Add a drop of B Reagent (included in the test kit) in a test tube already containing A reagent
2. Shake the test tube gently: the solution will become green. Move the test tube into its support inside the
kit
3. (N.B.: do not close the test tube with the thumb because the contact with the skin could
distort the result. Use the cap)
4. Take a pad, being careful not to touch the end. The pad must be used only once: its re-use gives wrong
results. If the surface to be tested is dry, add one or two drops of the hydrating solution included in the
kit. Do not use water to wet the pad
5. Pressing firmly, rub the pad on the surface which is to be tested repeatedly. Do not touch the end of the
pad in fibre in order not to distort the results
6. Move the pad into the test tube previously prepared. The pad must be well soaked in the solution. Wait
10 minutes for the reaction.
7. After about 10 minutes the reaction generates the colour, which is to be interpreted according to the
following table:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4

Green colour Grey colour Violet colour Dark Violet colour
0 micro-g proteins on 100 micro-g proteins 300 micro-g proteins 1000 micro-g proteins
the surface on the surface on the surface on the surface
Judgment Judgment Judgment Judgment
good At the limit unsatisfactory unsatisfactory

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 50

12.I EVALUATION OF PROTECTION FACTORS

The test shown here below can be performed when installing the cabinet.
The operator protection factor (Apf) is defined as the ratio of exposure of airborne contamination generated
on theopen bench to the exposure resulting from the same dispersal within the cabinet under test.
The expression for the protection factor becomes:

(N x V) / (104 x n)
where:

N = number of particles liberated

n = the number recovered at a sampling rate of V (dm 3/min)

The value of n is determined from an examination of the developped and dried filter membrane,
For a biological safety cabinet, which is to pass the containment test, the total number of spots of potassium
iodide on the membrane can be easily counted by examining each filter with x 10 magnifier at disposal
The N value (number of generated spots of potassium iodide) is calculated by the expression

N = 3.1 x 107 x M

where

M = quantity of potassium iodide expressed in ml dispersed by the aerosol generator (20 ml)

This expression incorporates the constant derived from droplet size, flowrate and velocity of disk rotation.
The sampling flowrate V is 100 dm 3/min when the vacuum on the air sampler is 8” of water column (200
mm of H2O)
Required tests: at least 5 consecutive tests must be performed, each of one must give a protection factor
not less than 105 estimated for each sampling.

BACKGROUND TEST
Before performing the test on Biological Safety cabinets make sure that the environment is not
contaminated by Potassium iodide.
Proceed in performing the tests in the same way as in the measurement of the protection factor.
A count of more than 5 spots in one of the two membranes during a 10 min test should be regarded as
unsatisfactory

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 51

KI-DISCUSS – TEST PROCEDURE
Pour 20 ml potassium iodide solvent into the mist generator.
Be careful that the needle valve is closed.
The suction fan is to be activated 30 seconds before the generator.
When the green light on the control panel is on (which shows that the disc runs at the correct speed) open
the needle valve from 1/10 to 1/12 turn anticlockwise allowing then the solution to feed on to the centre of
the spinning disc through the silicone rubber pipe and the hypodermic pipe.
The solution passing through the pipe as well as the mist generated by the spinning disc are visible.
The correct dimension of the particles is produced by the spinning disc when the quantity of potassium
iodide flow varies from 1 to 2 ml/min. It is important to check this change of flow measuring the time taken
to empty the container. This control ensures that the hypodermic pipe is not partially clogged.
When the test is over, a small quantity of solution usually remains in the hypodermic pipe, which is
responsible for the clogging of the pipe when it is filled in again and the needle valve opened. For this
reason it is advisable to squash the silicone pipe near the hypodermic pipe once or twice in order to clean it
and allow a constant flow. The cycle during which the potassium iodide solution flows on the spinning disc
should be over in abt. 15 min.
Turn the disc motor off but continue to run the fan for a further 5 min to recover any dispersed particle.
When the suction fan has completely stopped, incline the air samplers vertically, remove the cover of a
sampler, unscrew the brass cone and remove the filter membrane.
Place the membrane in the petri dish containing the palladium chloride solution, with the surface that has
been exposed to the airflow facing upwards.
Note the sampler from which the membrane was removed.
Within 30 s to 45 s the membrane will become saturated with palladium chloride and any potassium iodide
particles will become visible as brown spots. Remove the membrane and immerse in distilled water for 3 s
to 4s and then place it on a clean filter paper to dry.
The membrane must be kept in the suitable container waiting for the test.
Repeat this procedure with the filter membrane from the other air sampler. Replace cover over the
petri dish.

Be careful that the tweezers used for placing the membrane in the palladium chloride solution are not used
for loading the air samplers.

P0212EN – Rev. 12 – 11/2016 52

EXAMINATION OF THE FILTER MEMBRANES
Examine each filter membrane with x 10 magnifier and count the number of brown spots on the filter
membrane
If the number exceeds 50/100 it will be necessary to use a graticule with the magnifier and to count the
spots within a square or a convenient circle and to use an appropriate multiplication factor as per following
table:

GRATICULE CIRCLE (diameter) Y FACTOR

2,5 mm 77
2,0 mm 121
1,0 mm 483
0,9 mm 597
0,8 mm 756
0,7 mm 988
0,5 mm 1.935

SQUARE ON THE GRATICULE

1 cm2 3,8
Quadrato più piccolo 1.520

These factors take into account the percentage of the total surface of the membrane area on which the
particles can deposit.
