CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Purifier® HEPA Filtered Enclosure or Purifier® Class I Filtered Enclosure. Your enclosure provides personnel protection through superior containment. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years experience in manufacturing fume hoods and more than 30 years experience in manufacturing filtered enclosures.

These enclosures will effectively contain toxic, noxious, or biohazardous particulates when properly installed and operated. Each enclosure uses a single HEPA filter, which is rated at least 99.99% efficient for 0.3-micron particles. Additionally, an accessory Odor Control carbon filter may be added to adsorb nuisance odors from organic vapors, formaldehyde or ammonia and amines. The Purifier enclosures offer many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and energy savings. To take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how high performance HEPA filtered enclosures operate, please review Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions before you begin working in the enclosure. Even if you are an experienced user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your HEPA Filtered Enclosure, which describes the Purifier features so that you can use the filtered enclosure efficiently. For hazardous biological applications requiring user protection but not product protection, Labconco recommends the purchase of a Class I enclosure, which includes a UV light for general surface decontamination. For general hazardous biological applications,
