Method and apparatus for testing the operation of an alarm for a ventilated enclosure, such as a fume hood or bio-safety cabinet. Flow of gas being exhausted from the enclosure may be adjusted to a known value below or above a threshold value at which the alarm provides an indication that flow is unacceptably low or high. Adjustment of flow to the known value may be performed without requiring a manual measurement of flow, e.g., by performing a traverse in a duct leading from the enclosure.

A biosafety cabinet has an air bypass system. The air bypass system reduces air noise and static pressure in the biosafety cabinet, and continues a supply of air to the blower, when the view screen or door is fully closed by providing an alternate path for the air entering the cabinet. The air bypass system further includes an armrest provided on the door sill. The armrest may have perforations on the front and rear surfaces of the armrest to allow the air to travel under the armrest, through an air inlet. The air bypass system additionally blocks germicidal light generated inside the biosafety cabinet from escaping when the view screen or door is fully closed.

An improved system and method for monitoring contamination loading of a filter in a biological safety cabinet comprising a housing defining a work chamber and a filtration chamber, a system for circulating air between the work chamber and the filtration chamber via a fan which draws air under negative pressure from the work chamber and delivers the air under positive pressure through the filter and into the filtration chamber. The filter monitoring system determines a pressure differential between the negative and positive air pressure at opposite sides of the fan, and evaluates the degree of contamination loading of the filter on the basis of the pressure differential. An air flow baffle is disposed within the filtration chamber adjacent the fan for dividing the pressurized air delivered by the fan and partially redirecting a portion thereof for more uniformly delivering the air to the filter.

A biosafety cabinet includes at least one cable port disposed in a wall of the cabinet that allows small tubing and/or cables to enter the cabinet through the walls. The cable port eliminates problems associated with running the tubing and/or cables through an open door at the front of the cabinet. The cable ports enable the user to fully close the view screen door, while maintaining the ability to connect various tubes and/or cables to devices in the interior work area of the cabinet. The biosafety cabinet further includes a double wall configuration with negative pressure air space between the two walls. Air and byproducts or contaminants attempting to escape from the cabinet into the room or enter the cabinet from the outside environment is captured in the negative pressure area between the walls and transported directly to an air filter.

A biosafety cabinet includes one or more air filters below the work surface and a system for holding, sealing, replacing and disposing the air filters through the work access opening of the biosafety cabinet.

Instead of a mechanical clamp, the perimeter of the air filters are sealed using a gasket and a tape, eliminating the accumulation of the contaminants around mechanical clamps. The air filters may be accessed through the work access opening of the biosafety cabinet, packaged for disposal and removed from the biosafety cabinet without being exposed to the exterior environment. A filter cover with an adhesive surface is used to cover and lift the used, contaminated air filter within the biosafety cabinet.
