Validation Service

In adherence to industry regulations, Laminar Flow Hoods are required to pass certification assessments during installation and bi-annually. Furthermore, recertification must be administered following HEPA filter replacement, repairs, or relocation incidents. 

Primary Tests Include

  • Airflow Velocity

    This test is done to ensure that the airflow velocity within the cabinet meets the required standards specified by the manufacturer.

  • Particle Count

    This test verifies that the number of particles inside the cabinet is within acceptable limits and that the HEPA filter is capturing the majority of them.



  • HEPA Filter

    This test is done to ensure that there is no leakage in the cabinet's HEPA filter, which could potentially result in contamination.

  • Smoke Pattern

    This test is done to visualize the airflow pattern within the cabinet using smoke, which helps in identifying if there are any areas with poor air circulation.

  • Site Installation

    This test verifies the effectiveness of the alarms and evaluates the proper setup of the units.

Optional Tests Include

  • Light Intensity

    This test is done to ensure that the lighting inside the cabinet is sufficient for the operator to accurately perform their work.

  • Vibration

    This test is done to ensure that there are no vibrations that may interfere with the operation of sensitive equipment.

  • Sound Level

    This test is done to ensure that the cabinet operates at a safe noise level for laboratory personnel.

  • UV Light

    This test ensures the proper functioning of the UV lights.

  • Electrical Safety

    This test ensures that the electrical components are in good working order and pose no danger of electrical hazards.
