Verifying HEPA Filter Integrity


The HEPA filter is shipped installed with the gasket on the downstream side. The
HEPA filter is leak checked at Labconco. A second leak check is recommended
before using the enclosure and at least annually thereafter. Consult your Safety
Officer and Chapter 6 for the HEPA Filter Leak Test. See Figure 4-2 for HEPA
filter location, HEPA filter gasket, and filter clamp bolts. All seams downstream of
the HEPA filter are jacketed by positive pressure. This intrinsically safe design
ensures Class 5 conditions and a particulate free environment for PCR
experiments.
