Biosafety Cabinet Certification

TSS offers comprehensive testing, certification, and maintenance of biological
safety cabinets. Our skilled technicians are authorized to perform warranty repairs
for all major equipment manufacturers. All testing is performed in accordance with
established TSS standard operation procedures [SOPs], which are updated to
remain compliant with federal and international safety guidelines, current good
manufacturing practices [cGMPs], and our ISO 9001 certified quality system.
Biological safety cabinets [BSCs] are certified to meet NSF-49, OSHA, NIH/CDC,
and the manufacturers specifications.
Primary tests performed include
Inflow velocity measurements assures that a safe inflow is maintained to protect
the operator and product from contamination
Downflow velocity measurements documents that the air in the work area is
unidirectional, preventing cross contamination
HEPA filter integrity testing tests system for leakage or defects
Fluorescent and UV light testing assures fluorescent lighting levels are sufficient
to prevent operator fatigue and UV lighting operates adequately
Airflow visualization testing qualitatively verifies airflow direction
Site installation testing and alarm calibration assesses appropriate procedures
for the installation of units for NSF and OSHA compliance

Optional tests include

Non-viable particle counting
Electrical safety testing
Pressure decay and cabinet integrity testing
Vibration testing
Sound testing
