Alpha Line Lab Business, a laboratory safety integrated management company.
The work I will introduce this time is the replacement of the clean bench filter and
cleaning work requested by the Korea Maritime Resources Research Institute.
One of the aseptic workstations, the clean bench, is a device to
protect the experimental sample from external contamination
Air purification filters are used to make certain spaces on the internal workstation sterile.
The filter used at this time is the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter
is an excellent air purification filter
It is a consumable with a life span, and after a certain period
of time, a new filter must be replaced.
Also, when replacing a clean bench filter, it is most important
to replace the filter with the correct standard
If you use an off-the-shelf filter instead of an accurate filter,
there will be a gap between the equipment and the filter
Unfiltered air may enter through the gaps, causing
contamination in the experimental sample.
Therefore, you must measure the filter size accurately
and then proceed with production and replacement.
<HEPA Filter>
Replacing the HEPA filter, the main filter of the clean bench.
I didn't see much pollution Just because there is less
visible pollution does not mean that the filter is clean.
We have completed replacing the filter with a new one
before the contamination of the filter becomes serious.
HEPA filter is an abbreviation for high-efficiency particulate
air filter, and particles of 0.3( (micrometer) or larger, such as fine dust or
viruses, etc A high-performance air purification filter that removes up to
99.99%. In the past, it was mainly used in laboratories and hospitals
It is a filter that has become very familiar as it has recently
been used in household air purifiers.
All bacteria can be removed with a HEPA filter with 1-5 ultrafine dust of 2.5 or less.
Based on the general environment, the HEPA filter has a maximum lifespan of 2 years,
depending on the cleanliness of the laboratory, work content, and equipment usage time
Life expectancy may vary. According to the guidelines for bio-safety level 3 research
facilities of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, HEPA filters are up to two years
It is stated that the replacement cycle can be extended and that
a replacement is recommended once a year.
<Pre Filter>
It is a filter in charge of the pretreatment process of
the main filter, which can harm the human body, such as
dust and floating matter in the atmosphere
It is responsible for removing particles larger than 10 to 30 μm.
I'm in charge of filtering out big dust
The pollution rate is faster than the main filter, HEPA filter,
and the pre-filter that was replaced this time is also faster than the HEPA filter
The pollution had progressed considerably. It is recommended
to replace the pre-filter once or twice a year
If you use a filter with accumulated contaminants that have
passed the time to replace the filter, you will lose your function as a filter
It interferes with the air circulation, damaging the blower motor
and contaminating the main filter
It may occur, so periodic replacement is recommended.
<Cleaning Care>
After replacing the filter of the clean bench, we proceeded with cleaning care.
When using laboratory equipment, contamination occurs
continuously, and even laboratory safety
It can have an impact. Therefore, it is recommended that
equipment be cleaned regularly by a professional company.
The Alpha Line Lab business is designed to clean up
the invisible inside of the equipment
After disassembling the equipment as much as possible
we will proceed with cleaning to the inside.
If you change the filter regularly and take care of the cleaning,
it will not only maintain the performance of the equipment
You can even save on equipment acquisition costs.
<Sterilizing Care>
After cleaning care, Sterilizing Care is carried out to
suppress the growth of harmful bacteria.
The sterilizing disinfectant of Alpha Line Lab Business is
an ultra-fine steam spray method that is hypoallergenic, colorless, and odorless
It kills 99.99% of all harmful bacteria and viruses within 30 seconds of spraying
After disinfection, it is reduced to water by contact with
sunlight and air, so there is no residue left
It is convenient and suitable for laboratory sterilization
because the equipment can be used immediately without any extra waiting time to wait.
The effect of sterilization care is about 3 months
and over time, it returns to the contaminated state
Periodic management is required, and it is usually
recommended to proceed once a quarter and four times a year.
<Simple Validation>
Simple validation, a free signature service, will be provided
when replacing the clean bench filter or cleaning care.
Simple validation means that the equipment consistently produces
results that meet the set values through professional personnel and equipment
A solution that provides verification measurements and documentation of the results.
Verification and measurement of items equivalent to IQ
qualification evaluation, which is the same as the paid validation
The results are provided in the form of a report.
※ Simple validation can be used for internal management
of own equipment and cannot be submitted outside.
Once all work is completed, we will attach the work history to the equipment.
Your management history is written down, so even if the person
in charge of equipment management changes, it is easy to check
We will provide you with a unique number so that you
can manage it systematically in the future.
All fieldwork for the Alpha Line Lab business is done
by a professional, skilled and experienced field manager
Accompany them to follow the safety guide manual and supervise the site.
Alpha Line Lab Business is a laboratory management company with 29 years of experience
With years of know-how and technology, we always prioritize
the safety and convenience of researchers
We offer the best solution. Thank you.
