Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Purifier® HEPA
Filtered Enclosure or Purifier® Class I Filtered Enclosure. Your
enclosure provides personnel protection through superior
containment. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years
experience in manufacturing fume hoods and more than 30 years
experience in manufacturing filtered enclosures.
These enclosures will effectively contain toxic, noxious, or
biohazardous particulates when properly installed and operated.
Each enclosure uses a single HEPA filter, which is rated at least
99.99% efficient for 0.3-micron particles. Additionally, an
accessory Odor Control carbon filter may be added to adsorb
nuisance odors from organic vapors, formaldehyde or ammonia
and amines. The Purifier enclosures offer many unique features to
enhance safety, performance, and energy savings. To take full
advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and
keep it handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how
high performance HEPA filtered enclosures operate, please review
Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions
before you begin working in the enclosure. Even if you are an
experienced user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your HEPA
Filtered Enclosure, which describes the Purifier features so that
you can use the filtered enclosure efficiently. For hazardous
biological applications requiring user protection but not product
protection, Labconco recommends the purchase of a Class I
enclosure, which includes a UV light for general surface
decontamination. For general hazardous biological applications,

Before you install the filtered enclosure, you need to prepare your
site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and
of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical
power should be located near the installation site to power the
filtered enclosure, and other apparatus. Additionally, the enclosure
should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient
workflow.
Carefully read this chapter to learn the requirements for your
installation site:
• The support, vibration and movement requirements.
• The location and air current requirements.
• The exhaust and blower requirements.
• The electrical power requirements.
• The space requirements.
Refer to Appendix B: Purifier Dimensions for complete enclosure
dimensions.
Refer to Appendix C: Purifier Specifications for complete filtered
enclosure electrical and environmental conditions, specifications
and requirements.
