Bactericidal filter
The fan-powered Model 2002 Bio Plus electrically enhanced bactericidal HEPA filter uses half the power of the standard Model 3001B filter. Each filter is used with four terminal HEPAs in series for ISO Class 2-5 (Class 0.1-100) cleanrooms to result in an overall 99.999999+ percent filtration efficiency. No terminal HEPAs are necessary for ISO Class 6 (Class 1000) and above cleanrooms. The filter inhibits growth of bacteria on the filters, resulting in low to zero airborne bioburden.
