This paper addresses how to qualify a Biological Safety Cabinet(BSC) and includes a description for Installation and Operational Tests that should be included as part of the Qualification process.Despite having robust design and environmental monitoring, cleanrooms are at risk for several sources of contamination. In this case, BSCs, if purchased with much consideration, are the […]
