Microbiological Testing Esco performs testing in accordance with more than 10 of the world's most recognized standards for local, regional and international criteria. Testing in our micro-biology laboratory is conducted according to NSF49, EN12469, and JIS K3800. An NSF-accredited biohazard cabinet field certifier is available in-house full-time to supervise all testing work, using harmless Bacillus atrophaeus (formerly Bacillus Subtilis) bacteria that is used to challenge the cabinet, then incubated for 48 hours and the Colony Forming Units (CFU) are counted to determine the testing results. Increased microbiological challenge tests with objects inside the cabinet work zone, Bunsen burner, external airflow disturbance, and Human-As-Mannequin test adapted from Fume Hood development were performed to simulate real-world conditions. Personnel Protection Test The test objective is to evaluate the safety of the cabinet for the personnel operating on potentially hazardous samples in the cabinet work zone. • A nebulizer containing 55 mL of 5 to 8 x 10 8 spores/mL B.atrophaeus spores is placed inside the work zone, 10 cm (4") behind the front opening sash. • Target slit air samplers and impingers are placed outside the work zone to capture possibly escaping B.atrophaeus spores, then the sample is incubated. • Acceptance: The number of Bacillus atrophaeus CFU recovered from the agar plates shall not exceed 10 CFU per test. Product Protection Test The test objective is to determine cabinet protection to the product/samples inside the cabinet work zone from environmental contaminants. • A nebulizer containing 55 mL of 5 to 8 x 10 6 spores/mL B.atrophaeus is placed at 10 cm (4") in front of sash window. • Target agar plates are placed throughout the entire work surface. • Acceptance: The number of Bacillus atrophaeus CFU recovered from the agar plates shall not exceed 5 CFU per test. Comprehensive Performance Testing At Esco Cross Contamination Test The test objective is to evaluate cabinet protection from cross contamination of samples placed simultaneously inside the work zone. • A nebulizer containing 55 mL of 5 to 8 x 10 4 spores/mL is placed against one of the work zone sidewalls. • Target agar plates are placed 360 mm (14") away from the same side wall. • Acceptance: The number of Bacillus atrophaeus CFU recovered on agar plates shall not exceed 2 CFU per test. HPV Test Compliant: Safer Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination Compatibility Esco biological safety cabinets are Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor (HPV) compliant and decontaminatable cabinets approved by BIOQUELL for this patented process. HPV is a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional decontamination using formaldehyde (CH 20): • HPV is non-carcinogenic and odorless, while formaldehyde is carcinogenic, toxic and has pungent smell. • If there is a gap on the cabinet sealing, escaping HPV to the lab will decompose to become oxygen and water. Escaping formaldehyde, however, is harmful to people in the lab. Therefore HPV decontamination can be performed while people are working inside the lab, while formaldehyde decontamination must be performed with no one present in the lab. The HPV method improves safety, productivity, and reduces the time to seal the cabinet. • HPV biological efficacy is independent of environmental variables, whereas formaldehyde efficacy is dependent on such variables. • HPV has a better penetration capacity, resulting in a full decontamination of the cabinet. The formaldehyde method is known to result in incomplete decontamination. • HPV is more effective and rapid against biological organisms compared to formaldehyde. • HPV requires approximately 4-7 hours for set-up, decontamination, and tear-down, compared to a total of 12-15 hours needed to complete a formaldehyde decontamination process. • HPV decontamination effectiveness is independent of temperature and humidity. Formaldehyde requires temperature above 20°C and relative humidity above 65%. • For information on the BIOQUELL HPV methodology contact Esco or your Sales Representative. KI-Discus Containment Test According to EN 12469:2000 (Operator Protection) Esco is currently one of the few companies in the world equipped to perform the KI-Discus test for our customers. The KI-Discus test is defined in the European Standard for microbiological safety cabinets, EN12469:2000, as a test method for validating the operator/personnel protection capabilities of the cabinet. • The KI-Discus test shows excellent correlation with the microbiological test method for operator protection, and is useful for validating the actual containment performance of the cabinet on-site. • The KI-Discus takes only 45 minutes as opposed to 2 days for microbiological testing. • Thus, each Esco Infinity FC2 model is factory tested using the KI-Discus method for operator safety. Every Infinity model manufactured by Esco is individually tested, documented by serial number and validated with the following test methods. Inflow/downflow velocity PAO Aerosol challenge for filter integrity Light, noise and vibration Airflow pattern visualization Electrical safety to IEC61010-1 KI-Discus containment Esco builds quality from the inside out. Additional microbiological testing is performed on statistical sampling basis. 11
