REREQUISITES
Before you install the enclosure, carefully examine the location. You must be
certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated
source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the
enclosure.
Carefully read this chapter to learn the requirements for your installation site:
• The support requirements.
• The location and air current requirements.
• The electrical power requirements.
• The space requirements.
Support Requirements
At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet and
chemically resistant work surface. A mobile stand or cart is allowable. See
Chapter 7 for accessory work surfaces, stands, mobile stands and cabinets.
Location and Air Current Requirements
The Purifier Passive PCR and Purifier Tissue Culture Enclosures have been
designed to reduce cross drafts and air circulation with the sash and UV sash
closure panel installed. However, as a precautionary measure of safety and a
higher level of quality management, it is recommended that the enclosure be
placed in such an area away from:
• High traffic areas where walking might cause an air disturbance.
• Overhead or wall HVAC diffusers, fans, radiators or other lab equipment
producing air currents.
• Next to doorways or windows that may be opened.
