BSC (Biological Safety Cabinet) Validation Service｜9-Point Testing Complete Solution ｜ READY Biotech

Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) serve as critical containment devices in laboratories, protecting personnel, the environment and experimental material. Any malfunction in airflow, filtration or cleanliness can compromise safety and sample integrity.
At READY Biotech, our NSF/ANSI 49 certified field engineers conduct comprehensive validation of BSCs, performing the following tests aligned with the standard.

Testing Items

1. Down-flow Air Velocity Test – Verifies uniform and stable downward airflow in the work area.

2. Inflow Air Velocity Test – Measures face velocity at the sash opening to ensure proper personnel protection airflow.

3. Smoke Pattern Test – Uses visible smoke to evaluate airflow patterns and identify potential dead-zones or backflow.

4. HEPA Filter Leak Test – Assesses the integrity and sealing of HEPA filters to maintain filtration performance.

5. Illumination Test – Measures light intensity in the work area to ensure adequate illumination for operators.

6. Vibration Test – Checks for structural or surface vibration that might affect work stability.

7. Noise Test – Measures operational noise levels to ensure comfort and safe working conditions.

8. UV Intensity Test – For units with UV lamps, assesses UV sterilization effectiveness.

9. Site Installation Assessment – Reviews installation conditions such as ducting, power supply, and facility integration.

10. Particle Count Test – Measures airborne particles in the work zone to assess cleanliness levels.

11. Microbial (Sterility) Test – Utilizes contact plates or settle plates to verify absence of microbial contamination and sterile performance.
