FS11300 Model #ETA363024ABA Process Workstation
Manufactured by Flow Sciences, Inc.
(Leland, NC)
NanoSafe evaluated the containment
of aerosolized
nanoparticles by a Flow Sciences, Inc., FS11300 (Model # ETA363024ABA),
3’
Process Workstation with Bag-in/Bag-out, Dual HEPA Filtration. Testing
was
adapted from ASHRAE 110-1995, and involved traverse-testing of the
workstation
sash and HEPA exhaust during aerosolization of SiO2
nanoparticles
with a geometric mean diameter of 26 nm.
The test provides a useful measure of an enclosure’s
ability to contain
aerosolized nanomaterials.

Protector© Stainless Steel ULPA Filtered Glove Box
Manufactured by Labconco (Kansas
City, MO)
NanoSafe evaluated the containment
of aerosolized
nanoparticles by a Labconco Protector® Stainless Steel ULPA Filtered
Glove Box.
Testing was adapted from ASHRAE 110-1995, and involved traverse-testing
of the
glove box window, ULPA exhaust, valves, and transfer chamber doors
during
aerosolization of SiO2 nanoparticles with a
geometric mean diameter
of 26 nm. The test
provides a useful
measure of an enclosure’s ability to contain aerosolized nanomaterials.

Labconco XPert Nano
Manufactured by Labconco (Kansas City, MO)
NanoSafe, Inc. developed a testing
program to
independently evaluate the generation and containment of a controlled
nanoaerosol inside a Labconco XPert® Nano™ System. The purpose of the
evaluation was to compare nanoparticulate levels generated inside the
enclosure
via a specialized ejector to particulate levels around the enclosure’s
sash
opening and ultra low penetration air (ULPA) filtration exhaust. Test
methods
integrated aerosolization and characterization strategies described in
peer-reviewed studies and one existing test method developed for fume
hoods.
