Application Note: Hypoxia Workstation with HEPA-Filtration Option Demonstrates Enhanced Containment to Protect User
9 July 2015

This white paper explains a process of modification of the Ruskinn hypoxia workstations to offer enhanced containment and better protection for the operation. Hypoxia workstations are kept at a high pressure to the environment to prevent outside contamination but this can lead to exposure of the operator to microbiological aerosols generated from inside their workstation. Limiting this exposure allows biosafety professionals to accurate complete their risk assessment.
