Did You Know?
Fan/Filter Units Do More Than Meet ISO Requirements—they also prevent infection.
Most cleanroom professionals understand that FFUs capture contaminants that degrade particle-sensitive samples. But they also remove bacteria and many viruses and mold spores 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
- Escherichia coli: Gastrointestinal infection
- Bacillus anthracis : Anthrax
- Aspergillus brasiliensis: Sinus infections
- Francisella tularensis: Tularemia
- Bordetella pertusis : Whooping cough
- Mycoplasma pneumaoniae: 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

Ionizing Bar; 22"L, with Installation Kit, for 24 x 24 Fan/Filter Unit
Ionizing bar, mounted to Fan/Filter Unit, provides a balanced stream of ions to the work area below to neutralize static charge and prevent electro-static discharge; 22" bar shown installed on 2' x 2' FFU. -
FFU Mounting Frame; Stainless Steel
Stainless steel Fan Filter Unit (FFU) mounting frame supports FFU on drywall or other rigid ceiling material, viewed from above ceiling panel (FFU not included). -
Night Service Saves Energy, Extends Filter Life!
Night service switch, shown mounted on Modular Hardwall Cleanroom panel, puts FFUs in low-energy mode during off-hours; saves 25% of fan operating costs and extends filter life. -
Filter Replacement Alarm
The filter replacement alarm monitors filter backpressure and issues an alarm when filter needs replaced (requires selection of fan filter unit with challenge port, order separately). -
Fan Filter Unit Control System
Provides room-by-room monitoring and control of Smart WhisperFlow FFUs to maintain target pressure differentials for ISO classification; temperature, humidity and particle monitoring and data logging, as well as dynamic fan set-point control, also available. -
Power Distribution Modules for Cleanroom FFUs and Lights
UL-listed power distribution modules include all breakers, transformers and other electrical components for FFU/light connections; allows fast addition or relocation of FFUs or lights without the need for rewiring. -
Filter Covers Allow Ceiling Wash-Down
Ceiling panel covers allow wash-down and sterilization of cleanroom walls and ceilings without damage to filter medium; requires BioSafe glass or stainless steel wall panels, which stand up to biocides. -
Challenge Port for Fan Filter Unit
Challenge port for Fan/Filter Units simplifies filter leak testing and connection of Filter Backpressure Alarm (shown with optional pressure gauge; must be ordered with FFU).
