Hi to all!
Maybe some kind soul can help me out: ive recently bought a used laminar flow hood. Everything looks great, except the HEPA seems to have a huge humidity stain (i don´t know if thats the right word... it has a big sort of brown stain)...
as the vendor told me, its been sitting in a garage for like 15 years... everything works great and it was a real bargain, im just wondering if i should change the hepa for a brand new one or the stain will not be a problem...
i can post a photo too... please help! it will be greatly appreciated! excuse my english :P
best regards
Youll know if u try, for what will u use it?
Since it's been sitting in a garage for 15 years, I would clean it really well and get a new filter.
cugak= ill be doing sterile work in the hood!
dub504= i think ill have to... they´re pretty expensive over here :((( ... upon further examination, it seems more like a red stain than a water/humidity stain... maybe chemical spill or some kind of accident :P...
i think i´ll just do a test run... maybe pouring agar in plates and see what happens
Id def go along with what dub has stated.
PW
thx for the feedback! ill give the hood a test run! (keeping my fingers crossed :))
thanks!
