Recommendations for storing and using the filters
New filter shelf life and storage conditions:
New activated carbon molecular filters must be stored flat in their original packaging at a temperature of b10°C / 50°
F and +50°C / 120° F and a humidity level < 85% RH.
If these conditions are adhered to, the maximum time a filter can be stored before use depends on the type of carbon used:
- AS type carbon molecular filter
2 years from the date of delivery
- BE+ type carbon molecular filter
2 years from the date of delivery
- BE type carbon molecular filter
1 year from the date of delivery
- F type carbon molecular filter
1 year from the date of delivery
- K type carbon molecular filter
1 year from the date of delivery
If the maximum shelf life is reached, we recommend to not install filters.
Predicted service life of a filter once put into use:
The service life of a molecular filter depends on lab air quality as well as the conditions of the environment in which it is used.
We recommend replacing the filter annually (if used 24/7).
Failing that and/or in the absence of information regarding device usage:
ERLAB is unable to provide any guidance as to the predicted service life of the filter(s).
In such cases, we strongly recommend:
• That the molecular filters are replaced at least every 12 months and that a regular filter saturation checking protocol is put
in place (please contact us for individual advice on this subject)
