Air Velocity/Volume
Correct air flow values as recommended by the equipment manufacturer, are essential to the proper functioning of containment control equipment. CON-TEST can test these values to ensure that they meet manufacturer specifications.
Decontamination
Equipment or systems which are contaminated will require special protocols for the protection of service personnel, test instruments and the environment prior to service and/or certification. CON-TEST has the expertise and the equipment to carry out these procedures.
Electrical Safety
To measure polarity, electrical leakage, ground circuit resistance and the correct operation of electrical control components, appropriate tests are applied.
Pressure Testing
If equipment or systems utilize plenums or ductwork which are under positive pressure with respect to surrounding spaces and which carry potentially contaminated air, these must be tested to locate any leaks by which contaminants might escape. Most containment cabinet test protocols require that such areas be tested to verify the integrity of the system.
Records and Reports
Upon successful completion of performance testing, a certification label is affixed to the equipment also indicating the next date for re-testing. A complete report of test results and other pertinent information is provided for each item of equipment which is certified. These results are discussed with users.
User Instruction
An important part of the complete service provided by CON-TEST is the instructional session offered to users.
All users of equipment must understand how it functions and how to exploit its potential. This information session is always offered prior to our departure from your location.
Seminars, slide presentations and information sessions on biohazard containment and contamination control are always available from CON-TEST.
Our Cleanroom Seminars can be customized to a clients' or associations' requirements.
Please contact us, our years of experience may help in your problem solving.
Other Tests
Tests to determine lighting levels, sound emission and equipment vibration may be performed. These tests and others, using visible smoke to illustrate air current direction, can be applied as appropriate.
