1｜Why Annual BSC Certification Is Essential

A Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) is critical for operator protection, sample integrity, and contamination control. Annual BSC certification ensures airflow, HEPA performance, and cabinet function meet Class II A2 requirements.

2｜READY’s BSC Testing Standards

READY follows QA/SOP or NSF guidelines to perform a full BSC performance test, providing raw data, pass/fail status, and recommendations.

3｜The 10 Required BSC Validation Tests

01｜Downflow Velocity Test

Ensures vertical airflow is uniform and within acceptable range.

02｜Inflow Velocity Test

Verifies safe inflow to protect the operator.

03｜Smoke Pattern Test

Confirms proper airflow movement with no backflow or turbulence.

04｜HEPA Leak Test

Identifies HEPA filter leakage or seal defects.

05｜Lighting Test

Ensures operation area illumination meets standards.

06｜Vibration Test

Prevents operational instability for sensitive sample handling.

07｜Noise Test

Evaluates sound level for safe long-term operation.

08｜Onsite Assessment

Includes cabinet condition, placement, power source, and airflow environment.

09｜UV Intensity Test

Checks sterilization capability of UV lamp.

10｜Particle/Settlement Test

Ensures cleanliness of the BSC working area.

4｜Common BSC Issues & Recommendations

READY provides diagnosis and solutions:

• HEPA leakage → Replace or reseal
• Low inflow → Adjust fan/airflow
• Uneven downflow → Check fan or duct
• Weak UV → Replace lamp
• Turbulent smoke pattern → Review room airflow or placement
