What is the Role of HEPA Filters in Biosafety Cabinet Class 2?
A HEPA filter is an efficient filter that traps 99.97% of particles of size 0.3 microns or larger than that. But this does not mean that the HEPA filter can’t trap particulates smaller than this size.
Because some HEPA filters do have a threshold lower than 0.3 microns so they can trap particles of size equal to their threshold size.
HEPA filters of your Biosafety Cabinet Class 2 make a complex web of fibers and trap the air contaminants. There are four different ways used by these filters to trap the particulate matter: Diffusion, Sieving, Inertial Impaction, and Interception.
For trapping large-sized contaminants sieving and inertial impaction trapping methods are used. In these methods, there is a collision between the fibers and the particles which results in their trapping.
Or, particles get trapped automatically when they try to pass through the web. The interception method is best for medium-sized particles because these particles by enclosed by fibers as they move through the filter.
Small-sized particles collide with the fiber and are dissipated during the fiber-crossing process.
