Did You Know? HEPA/ULPA Filters Do More Than Meet ISO Requirements - they also prevent infection.
Most cleanroom professionals understand that HEPA and ULPA filters capture contaminants that degrade particle-sensitive samples. But they also help remove bacteria, mold spores, and many viruses that contribute to a host of infections.
Most common bacteria are contained by the 0.3-micron pore size of high-efficiency particular air (HEPA) filters. Ultra-Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filters, which are rated 99.999% efficient at retaining particles of 0.12 microns and larger in diameter, capture ultra-fine contaminants, including many large viruses and mold spores.
These filters also remove aerosol-born pathogens - germs that hitch a ride on larger particles and liquid droplets that are captured in a HEPA or ULPA filter. HEPA- or ULPA-based Fan/Filter Units (FFUs) thus can play an important role in infection prevention in surgical theaters, ICUs and other medical settings.
Additionally, HEPA filters can help filter pollen, tiny insects, bacteria, mold, and other fungal spores that might be present during plant tissue culture or cannabis production. Contaminants such as these can find a way in via personnel or normal HVAC units and can blight crops and reduce yields. HEPA Filters help increase crop yields, pass inspection/meet regulations, and reduce contamination.
Here is a list of common human pathogens that HEPA/ULPA filters capture and remove from circulation:
Pathogens: Bacteria and Diseases
SARS-CoV-2: Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Escherichia coli: Gastrointestinal infection
Bacillus anthracis : Anthrax
Aspergillus brasiliensis: Sinus infections
Francisella tularensis: Tularemia
Bordetella pertusis : Whooping cough
Mycoplasma pneumoniae: Pneumonia
Chlamydia pneumoniae: Bronchitis
Clamydia psittaci : Psittacosis
Klebsiella pneumoniae: Opportunistic infections
Haemophilus influenzae : Meningitis
Coxiella burnetii: Q fever
Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Opportunistic infections
Actinomyces israelii: Actinomycosis
Legionella pneumophila: Legionaire's disease
Thermoactinomyces sacchari: Farmer's lung
Alkaligenes: Opportunistic infections
Streptococcus pyogenes: Scarlet fever
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis
Safely Mount FFU’s Above Floor for Horizontal Laminar Airflow
The portable FFU base stand can be easily positioned to supply Class 100 horizontal laminar flow into a room or enclosure. It can also be positioned next to sensitive equipment/materials that are mounted close to the floor.
Horizontal Flow Module Ideal When Overhead System is Unsuitable
Horizontal flow wall modules are ideal when ceiling space is unavailable or an overhead system is unsuitable. The portable base stand safely supports the FFU’s above the floor for easy maintenance.
