hi~
Alpha Line Lab Business specializing in Lab Care management specializing in replacing and cleaning laboratories, hospitals, and clean bench clean bench filters and sterilizing highly pathogenic harmful bacteria!
What I'm going to show you in this post is the replacement of the clean bench filter used by Biocean. One of the aseptic workstations, the clean bench, is a device to protect experimental samples from external contamination and uses an air purification filter to make a certain space on the internal workstation sterile. The filter that goes in here is the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is an excellent air purification filter, but it is a consumable that has a long life, and if you use it for a certain period of time, you have to replace it with a new filter. The replacement cycle of the clean bench filter used in the approached, and we asked Alpha Line Lab Business, a company specializing in "replacement of clean bench filters and replacement of clean bench filters."
The key to maintaining cleanliness of the clean bench is the HEPA Filter. As much as you followed the replacement cycle well, the pollution level of the filter itself was not visible to the eyes. However, the damage to the filter was noticeable, and such a damaged filter could not be filtered properly, so there is a high risk of circulating contaminated air inside the workstation. 또 In addition, even if there seems to be no contamination of the filter with the naked eye, it is difficult to check fine dust or harmful bacteria, so you should never leave it unattended just because it looks clean. The air circulation structure of the clean bench purifies the air introduced from the outside through the HEPA filter and discharges it to the operator through the experimental sample. Since there is no safety net between the air of the workstation and the worker, accumulating contamination in the filter may threaten not only the contamination of the sample but also the safety of the worker, so you must check and replace the filter at regular intervals.
※It is recommended to replace it every 3,000 hours, usually once a year!※
Q. Why should I keep the clean bench filter replacement cycle?
The clean bench is a structure in which air passed through the HEPA filter is discharged to the worker, and if the HEPA filter is not replaced periodically, it causes continuous contamination of the experiment or infection of the worker, so keeping the replacement cycle is the first thing in the laboratory safety!
A pre-filter is a filter that is used on the clean bench air inlet surface to primarily purify the air entering the pre-filter.
The pre-filter helps increase the life of the main filter and maintain its cleanliness by removing particles larger than 10 to 30 that can harm the human body, such as air dust and floats entering the main filter's pretreatment process!!!
※Because the pre-filter is contaminated quickly, it is usually recommended to replace it every 6 months to 1 year, 800 to 1000 hours※
Alpha Line provides free Simple Validation when changing the filter.
The Validation must be carried out to derive the correct experimental results and safely use the equipment, but it is difficult to conduct it every year because of the high cost. When changing the filter, we provide a simple evaluation that reports and provides the results.
Installation Qualification Assessment Installation Qualification (IQ) field validation and documentation that the machine, facility, or system is installed to set criteria.
Operational Qualification Assessment Operational Qualification (OQ) Verifies and documents that a machine, facility, or system operates as intended within the predicted operating range.
Performance Qualification Assessment Performance Qualification (PQ) Validate and document that a machine, facility, or system can manufacture a product to set quality standards.
※ You can receive validation for Biological Safety Cabinet, Clean Bench, AutoClave, Freezer, Refrigerator, Incubator, Dry Oven, and Centrifuge equipment.
We have completed the calibration and certification of 2023 validation measuring equipment.
Alpha Line Lab Business specializing in evaluation of experimental equipment receives calibration certification of measuring equipment as of March every year to increase the reliability of measurement results.
Replacement of filter or cleaning & sterilizing care through alpha line
All clean benches are equipped with care stickers, so even if the manager changes later
You can easily see the management history, so it helps you manage the equipment easily.
Thank you.
