Aerosol Containment System for BSL-2 Samples
•
When sorting human material, or other potentially hazardous samples, the Aerosol Management System must be used.
•
The sort door must be closed when you are actively sorting.
•
The power strip on the desktop turns the aerosol management system on and off.
•
The units should not be turned off manually using either power button on the unit itself.
•
If it has been manually turned off, ensure the main power button at the back of the evacuator is on and then press the
POWER button on the membrane panel of the evacuator.
•
When using the aerosol management system:
1.
Ensure that the suction control rate is set to 20%. (Do not set the suction control rate above 20%, higher rates
could affect the stability of the side streams.)
2.
Verify that the filter flow gauge reads less than 2.4 inches.
3.
Sort as usual, keeping the sort collection chamber door closed while samples are running.
4.
If a clog occurs turn up the suction to 100% on the unit immediately. You must turn up % suction to evacuate
aerosols for several minutes before opening sort chamber!
5.
Remember to turn the suction
back down
before you resume sorting or it will affect sort streams.
6.
Remember to turn off power to aerosol management on power strip. The filters are very expensive!!
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE PURCHASE OF A NEW FILTER ($200) WHICH WILL
BE BILLED TO YOUR ACCOUNT!!!
