Testing and Certification

BSC testing should be performed following equipment installation, relocation, any major maintenance activity, and at least annually, including HEPA filter replacement, to verify proper containment performance and operational integrity.

Testing includes:

  • Downflow Velocity Profile Test
  • Inflow Velocity Test
  • Airflow Smoke Pattern Test
  • HEPA/ULPA Filter Leak Challenge
  • Site Installation Assessment Test

All procedures are performed in accordance with NSF/ANSI 49, ASHRAE 110, and manufacturer specifications.

Restore Performance. Minimize Downtime.

Unexpected performance issues surrounding BSCs, Fume Hoods, and Animal Transfer stations can compromise containment integrity, disrupt laboratory operations, and create unnecessary safety and compliance risks. MarathonLS provides responsive repair and decontamination services designed to quickly identify and resolve airflow, filtration, motor, alarm, and contamination issues across these critical systems.
