Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Service Line Requirements
All utility service lines should be ¼ inch O.D., brass, copper, or stainless
steel, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve. If the service
line pressure exceeds 100 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator
to reduce the line pressure.
Note: The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in the
Biosafety Cabinet. Open flame in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow
in the cabinet and may damage the HEPA filters. Flammable gases or
solvents may reach explosive concentrations in the cabinet or ductwork. If
you feel that the procedure requires the use of an open flame or flammable
materials, contact your institution’s safety office.
The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may
seriously disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.
User-Supplied Microscope Requirements –
Purifier Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with
Scope-Ready™ Package Only
If installing a microscope, locate the Stand-Still™ Isolation Platform in a
separate box shipped with the cabinet. The Stand-Still Isolation Platform
supports the microscope on top of the stainless steel work surface to
eliminate up to 94% of vibrations and to promote safe airflow. If using a
stereoscope with a forward extending base, the extended Stand-Still XL
Isolation Platform should be ordered from Appendix D: Accessories. Figures
from Appendix F should be used to assist your set-up.
On models with the Scope-Ready package, the Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet
includes a clear, disposable Pure-Vu™ Seal that can be altered to
accommodate most microscope’s eyepieces. Utilize the Punch Kit
(#4027801), supplied with your cabinet, to cut the two eyepiece holes at
approximately 2.75" (69.9 mm) spacing to match the height of your scope.
As a convenience, pre-cut Pure-Vu eyepiece seals can be ordered from
Appendix D: Accessories. The pre-cut accessory Pure-Vu Seals are based off
the nominal height from the base of the microscope to eyepiece centerline
and can save you valuable time modifying the seal shipped with the Cell
Logic. If using a stereoscope with a forward extending base, one of the PureVu XL Seals should be ordered from Appendix D: Accessories. Figures from Appendix F should be used to assist your set-up for all Pure-Vu Seals.

Table 3-2
Note: When installing the Cabinet on the hydraulic lift base stand, ensure that
the hydraulic lines and the electrical cord are clear of any obstructions before
installing the cabinet on the stand or operating the lift system.
Connecting the Biosafety Cabinet to Utility
Service Lines
Note: Some models have a solenoid valve connected to the service valve on
the right side, rear position. The solenoid prevents gas from flowing to the
service valve when the unit blower is off. It is the only service valve position
that can be fitted with a solenoid valve. Connect the gas service to the
solenoid valve.
The service lines (if any) should be connected to the tube fitting(s) on the
outside of the liner wall as shown in Figure 3-3. To install the tubing, follow
these steps:
1. Ensure that the tubing is ¼ inch O.D., soft metal, and that the end has
been completely deburred.
2. Route the tubing from the rear of the cabinet, ensuring that it will line up
with the slot in the back of the side panel. The slot is located from 8 ¾ to
11 ¼ inches (222 to 288 mm) from the bottom of the cabinet.
Note: Make sure that the tube routing will not contact any electrical wires.
DO NOT loop service line tubing within the side panels of the Cabinet.
3. Make sure that the nut on the tube fitting is loose, but do not remove it.
Look inside the fitting to make sure the tube ferrule is there.
4. Push the tube into the fitting until it is properly seated. The tube will go
approximately ¾ inch (19 mm) into the fitting.
Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Optional Exhaust System Connections
All Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinets are shipped to recirculate their
HEPA filtered exhaust air back into the laboratory.
Certain applications such as working with odorous products or volatile toxic
materials will require the connection of the Biosafety Cabinet to an exhaust
system.
Note: The canopy connection, also referred to as a thimble or air gap
connection, allows single or multiple biohazard cabinets to be connected to
an exhaust system. During operation, the exhaust system draws all of the
cabinet’s exhaust air, plus a volume of room air (through the slots in the
canopy) into the exhaust duct. Canopy connections function as a “shock
absorber” allowing the system to function properly during changes in room
air pressure.
For information on selecting a canopy connection, go to Appendix D:
Accessories.
Warning: If the research involves the use of toxic compounds or volatile
materials, contact the facility’s safety officer or Labconco to ensure that the
Biosafety Cabinet and its exhaust system are compatible with the materials
you will be working with.

Note: The work surface is heavy. Use caution when handling it.
1. Lift the work surface out of the Biosafety Cabinet by lifting on the knobs
at the front of the work surface. Steady the work surface while pulling it
straight out the front of the cabinet.
2. Using a putty knife, remove and discard the stainless steel cover that is
sealed over the drain mounting holes. Scrape out remaining sealant that
is around the holes.
3. Apply a light coating of silicone sealant (user supplied) to the mounting
surface of the drain assembly. Attach the drain assembly under the
bottom of the cabinet as shown in Figure 3-4. Wipe off any excess sealant
from the cabinet bottom. Ensure that the center drain hole is
unobstructed.
4. Make sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
5. Reinstall the work surface.
6. Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least eight hours before exposing
it to liquid.
NOTE: The drain valve
assembly attaches to the
underside of the cabinet
bottom.
Apply a light coat of silicone
sealant to this surface of the
connector, aligning the three
holes in the connector with
the three holes in the

Note: The tube inserts prevent the tubing from collapsing at
connection points and must be used.
4. Plan, route and cut the tubing from the two elbows on the left side of
the cabinet to the circulator.
5. Locate the quick connect fittings (3/8" tube x 1/8 NPT, 3/8" tube x 1/4
NPT, and 3/8" tube x 3/8 NPT) and install the appropriate fittings to the
user-supplied circulator with appropriate pipe sealant or Teflon tape.
6. Place tube inserts in all ends of the cut-to-size tubing.
7. Cut and install the insulation around the cut tubing lengths.
8. Insert cut tubing lengths into the elbows on the cabinet and then
install both tubing lengths into the circulator to complete the water
circulator loop.
9. Read and follow the circulator instructions before operating. The
circulator should have a minimum flow rate of 0.5 GPM (1.9 LPM).
In all cases, the temperature of the circulator will not equal the
temperature of samples on the Temp-Zone. Factors such as the
sample vessels, sample sizes, aluminum tube racks, and length of
tubing connecting the circulator to the Temp-Zone can influence the
sample temperature. Circulator settings to hold heated incubator
sample temperatures may require 0.3-2.0°C higher temperatures than
the desired sample temperature. Furthermore, circulator settings to
maintain chilled refrigerated samples may require 0.3-3.0°C colder

temperatures than the desired sample temperature. Experimentation is
necessary to achieve proper sample temperatures.
10. For chilled applications, the Temp-Zone work area comes with a drain
line installed that can be routed to the cabinet’s drain valve, if desired.
This Temp-Zone drain line installation is optional for chilled
applications should excessive condensation occur under the work
surface. Simply snap in the supplied press-fit elbow to the drain valve
shown in Figure 3-4. Follow the diagram from Figure 3-6 to finish

Initial Certification
Prior to use, a qualified certifier should certify all Biosafety Cabinets. Under
normal operating conditions, the Biosafety Cabinet should be recertified at
least annually and when relocated or serviced. The certifier should perform
the following tests, as recommended in ANSI/NSF International Standard
Number 49 in effect when the cabinet was manufactured:
• Downflow Velocity Profile Test
• Inflow Velocity Test
• Airflow Smoke Patterns
• HEPA Filter Leak Test
• Vibration Test *
• Noise Level Test *
• Lighting Intensity Test *
*These tests are user comfort related tests and may be omitted at the
user’s or certifier’s discretion.
If you have any questions regarding certification agencies or need assistance
in locating one, contact Labconco’s Product Service Department at 1-800522-7658 or 816-333-8811.

All Purifier Series Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets operate using the following
principles:
• Filtration and retention of particulates by High Efficiency Particulate
Air (HEPA) filter(s)
• Laminar airflow
• Directional airflow
The major components in a Biosafety Cabinet are:
• The HEPA filter(s) or optional ULPA filters
• The motor/blower to force air through the Cabinet
• Cabinet air intakes (grilles), ductwork and air balance controls
The two major package options of a Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet are:
• The Scope-Ready™ package option to allow a user-supplied
microscope to be integrated into the cabinet.
• The Temp-Zone™ package option that includes a temperature
controlled work area when connected to a user-supplied circulator.
HEPA Filters
HEPA filters are disposable, dry-type particulate filters. The filter material or
media is typically made of borosilicate microfibers formed into a thin sheet,
in a process similar to the production of paper. This sheet is folded, or pleated
to increase its surface area. The pleats are held in place by aluminum
diffusers or by beads of glue that add rigidity to the media pack. The pack is
then set into a frame, and sealed as shown in Figure 4-1.
Product Service 1-800-522-7658
19
Page 25
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
The HEPA filter manufacturer establishes the efficiency of the filter by
challenging it with an aerosol of known particle size. The number of particles
that penetrate the filter are quantified, and this establishes the efficiency of
the filter. Thus, the filters used in the Purifier Cell logic Biosafety Cabinets
are at least 99.99% efficient in removing particles 0.3 micron.
Note: The HEPA filter media is very fragile. DO NOT touch the media. If
you think the media of a HEPA filter is damaged, DO NOT USE THE
CABINET. Have the HEPA filter integrity tested by a certifier before using
the cabinet.
Note: HEPA Filters are only effective against particulate material. Gases
will pass through the filter.

ULPA Filters
Optional ULPA filters may be used to replace the standard HEPA filters in
the Purifier Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets. ULPA filters have the same
properties as described above except they are rated at least 99.999% efficient
in removing particles 0.1-0.2 or 0.2-0.3 micron.

Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
Laminar Airflow
Laminar airflow is defined as the movement of a body of air in a single
direction, with a uniform velocity. In practice, the laminar downflow of air in
the cabinet captures any aerosol generated in the work area of the cabinet,
and directs it to the HEPA filters. In order to be true laminar downflow, a
number of individual downflow velocity test points (The Downflow Velocity
Profile) must be +/- 16 feet per minute (0.08 m/s) of the average of all the test
points. This is illustrated in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2
Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Page 27
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
Directional Airflow
Directional airflow also plays a key role in biosafety cabinet performance.
Air is drawn into the front of the cabinet at the front grille. This “curtain” of
air makes it more difficult for aerosols to escape out of the work area of the
cabinet and into the outside environment. This airflow is often calculated and
referred to as the Inflow Volume or Average Inflow Velocity. This is
illustrated in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3

Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Page 28
Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
Motor/Blower
The motor/blower assembly pulls room air into the front of the cabinet, and
re-circulates it internally. During its recirculation, the air is split into two
separate streams. One path leads through the exhaust HEPA filter and out of
the unit. The second path flows through the supply HEPA filter, which then
flows down through the work area, as shown in Figure 4-4. The motor in the
Purifier Cell Logic Cabinet is an electronically commutated motor (ECM).
The ECM is a brushless DC motor that includes its own power supply to
convert the incoming alternating current to direct current, as well as its own
microprocessor to control and measure the motor’s operation. The motor is
preprogrammed to deliver a consistent volume of air, even as the HEPA
filters load over time.

Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
Cabinet Air Intakes (Grilles), Ductwork and Air
Balance Controls
The location, size, and pattern of the grilles at the front and rear of the work
area affect cabinet containment and performance.
Note: Never block or obstruct the grilles of the Biosafety Cabinet.
The internal ductwork of the Biosafety Cabinet conveys the air from the work
area to the blower, and then from the blower to the filters. The positive
pressure rigid plenum of the Biosafety Cabinet is designed to deliver a more
uniform airflow to both HEPA filters, optimizing filter loading and
operational life.
Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp
Note: The Ultraviolet (UV) lamp is not recommended or readily available for
Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with the Scope-Ready Package because the
sash cannot be safely closed with the microscope in place. Good surface
disinfection is the preferred method. Furthermore, the following factors
cause concern with UV and microscopes:
• The microscope creates a shadow where the UV light cannot reach.
• Removing the microscope is often undesirable.
• Running UV light with the microscope inside will degrade the
microscope.
The optional UV lamp generates a primary wavelength of light of 254nm. A
secondary emission is in the visible (blue) wavelength, resulting in the
characteristic blue color while operating. UV light with a wavelength of 254
nm is biocidal, primarily by creating thymine dimers in DNA. These dimers
prevent the correct transcription of the DNA into RNA, resulting in cellular
death or viral inactivation. In order to be effective, the UV light must directly
strike the nucleic acid, and its effectiveness can be diminished or negated by
dissolved proteins or metals, or by other UV-opaque substances protecting
the target nucleic acid.
Because of its limitations, UV light should be used as an adjunct to good
surface disinfection practices. In order to get optimum performance from the
UV light, it should be replaced after 6,000 hours of operation or less, and the
exterior surface of the lamp should be kept clean and free of dust.
Note: The Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet records the number of hours of
operation of the UV light. You can program in the number of hours (in 100hour increments) it will operate before a replacement message is displayed.

Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
Note: UV irradiation is absorbed by the tempered safety glass of the sash.
Independent research has shown that the level of UV irradiation on the
outside of the cabinet’s sash is equal to background radiation levels.
Note: The UV sensitivity of a target organism varies, depending on the UV
output of the lamp, the genus and species of the organism, the medium the
agent is suspended in, etc. Contact the facilities Health and Safety Officer at
your facility for UV light use and recommendations.
Scope-Ready™ Package Option
Models with the Scope-Ready package option allow a user-supplied
microscope to be integrated into the safety cabinet. On these models, two
features work together to assure containment and reduced vibration:
• The Pure-Vu™ Seal includes a 7" wide x 10.5" (267 mm) high sash
cutout that accommodates most microscopes’ eyepieces. The clear
disposable eyepiece seal prevents contaminants from escaping while
providing ergonomic visibility into the cabinet. The easy removable
seal attaches tightly to an aerodynamic, epoxy-coated steel collar.
The unique teardrop shape of the aerodynamic collar design keeps
contaminants contained with the microscope in place. The Pure-Vu
Seal conforms to both ASHRAE 110 and NSF 49 testing criteria.
• The Stand-Still™ Isolation Platform supports the microscope on the
cabinet’s work surface and removes up to 94% of vertical and
horizontal vibrations. ASHRAE 110 and NSF 49 testing confirms
this unique elevated, aerodynamic base ensures safe airflow.
Constructed of seamless Type 304 stainless steel, the isolation
platform is non-porous, easy to clean, and autoclavable. Important Note: Always remove the rubber isolation feet prior to autoclaving.
The spacious 12" (305 mm) wide x 18.75 (476 mm) deep platform fits
most microscopes. See Appendix D: Accessories for ordering an
extended Stand-Still XL Isolation Platform for use with microscope
bases that extend over the front of the lower work surface.
Temp-Zone™ Package Option
Models with the Temp-Zone package option include a temperature controlled
area 10.5" (267 mm) wide x 12" (305 mm) deep (7" (178 mm) wide x 12"
(305 mm) deep on 3' models). Samples heated in an incubator or chilled in a
refrigerator may be transferred to the Temp-Zone and kept at optimum
temperature. Quick connection fittings on the left side of the cabinet attach
to a user-supplied circulator that continually delivers heated or chilled water
through channels located underneath the Temp-Zone area of the worksurace.
Uniform temperature distribution is maintained on the Temp-Zone area of the
work surface. Temp-Zone work area temperatures of 0.3-0.5°C are
maintained with the circulator heated to 37°C and within 0.3-1.6°C with the
Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
circulator chilled to 3.7°C. Actual set points will vary depending on
variables such as sample tube rack, sample size, and length of tubing.
Safety Precautions
WARNING: The Biosafety Cabinet Biohazard Cabinet should be certified
by a certification technician before its initial use. The cabinet should be
recertified whenever it is relocated, serviced or at least annually thereafter.
Do not assume that filter integrity and airflow performance have not been
compromised during shipping.
Some internal components of the Biosafety Cabinet may become
contaminated during operation of the unit. Only experienced personnel
competent in decontamination procedures should decontaminate the cabinet
before servicing these components. If you have any questions regarding
certification agencies, or need assistance in locating one, contact Labconco’s
Product Service Department at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811.
DO NOT load more than 50 lbs. (23 Kg) in the work area. Exceeding this
limit may damage the work surface and its supports. Excessive weight in the
cabinet may increase the risk of it overturning, or failure of hydraulic lift
stands, resulting in the cabinet and stand overturning. If your application
requires loading more than 50 lbs., contact Labconco’s Product Service
Department at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for assistance.
Ensure that the Cabinet is connected to electrical service in accordance with
local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or
electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the Biosafety Cabinet from electrical service.
Avoid the use of flammable gases or solvents in the Biosafety Cabinet. Care
must be taken to ensure against the concentration of flammable or explosive
gases or vapors. An open flame should NOT be used in the Biosafety
Cabinet. Open flames will disrupt airflow patterns, burn the HEPA filter
and/or damage the filter’s adhesive. Gases under high pressure should not be
used in the Biosafety Cabinet, as they may disrupt its airflow patterns.
HEPA filters only remove particulate matter. Operations generating volatile
toxic chemicals or radionuclides must be evaluated carefully.
The media of HEPA filters is fragile and should not be touched. Avoid
puncturing either HEPA filter during installation or normal operation. If you
suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO NOT use the cabinet;
contact a local certification agency or Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-3338811 for re-certification information.
The HEPA filters in the Biosafety Cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne
particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the cabinet.
The rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the room air,

operating time and the nature of work being done in the cabinet. The Filter
Gauge accurately displays the amount of filter life remaining.
Proper operation of the cabinet depends largely upon its location and the
operator’s work habits. Consult the Installation and Normal Operation
sections of this manual for further details.
Avoid direct exposure of plastic or coated materials to ultraviolet (UV)
radiation. Never bypass the UV safety interlock that only allows the UV
light to work when the sash is closed. When surface disinfecting the
Biosafety Cabinet:
• Avoid splashing the disinfecting solution on skin or clothing.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Carefully follow the disinfectant’s safety instructions.
• Always dispose of disinfecting solutions in accordance with local and
national laws.
• DO NOT allow disinfectants with high concentrations of free chlorine
to contact the stainless steel components of the Biosafety Cabinet for
a long period of time. Free chlorine will corrode stainless steel after
extended contact.
The electrical receptacle cover may be removed to facilitate surface
decontamination. In the event of gross contamination, the cover should
be removed, sterilized and/or decontaminated as required and discarded.
Order Replacement Receptacle Cover #1287900. See Appendix A: Components for a list of service parts.
Biosafety Cabinets should be decontaminated for any of the following
reasons:
• Before maintenance work requiring entry into contaminated areas.
• Before HEPA filter changes.
• Before performing certification tests requiring entry into
contaminated areas.
• Before relocating the cabinet.
• Before changing research programs.
• After the gross spill of biohazardous material or toxic chemicals.
The Biosafety Cabinet has a system reset switch for resetting its
microprocessors. The switch is located on the front of the electronics module,

Airflow Alert
The airflow patterns in the cabinet have changed, resulting in a sudden
change in the motor speed. This is most likely due to a blockage of the
grille or the exhaust filter outlet. It may also be caused by removal of the
work surface while the cabinet is in operation.
System Error
The motor and display circuit board are not communicating properly.
DO NOT USE THE CABINET UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN
CORRECTED.
Data Area
The Data Area displays the Filter Gauge. This bar graph displays the percent
of remaining filter life. When the cabinet is new, or after the HEPA filters are
replaced, the gauge will be “full”, or display approximately 100%. As the
filters load, or if the grille or exhaust discharge are blocked, the bar graph
will show a reduced filter life.
The graph is user-selectable as a bar graph with percentage displayed, a bar
graph only, or a semi-circular graph showing filter life remaining.
Various factors such as temporary obstructions to airflow, temperature and
barometric pressure can cause the displayed percentage to vary slightly.
Ignore short term changes in the Filer Gauge’s value. As the Filter Gauge
approaches 20% remaining capacity, consider having the cabinet filter
replaced.
When the optional airflow sensor is installed and calibrated, the inflow and
calculated downflow velocities are also displayed during operation.

Operating the Sliding Sash
The counterbalanced, anti-racking sash mechanism requires only a few
pounds of force to move the sash up or down. You can open or close the sash
smoothly with one or two hands positioned on either handle.
Note: Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinets with Scope-Ready Package will not
allow for easy movement of the sash with the microscope eyepieces installed.
The blower and safety interlock system will typically work in manual mode
for these models unless the microscope is disengaged from the Pure-Vu Seal.
The sash position alarm and safety interlock system senses the sash position
and acts appropriately. The Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet has been
programmed to operate at a 9-inch (229 mm) sash opening, depending on
model. Raising the sash above its operating height will activate the audible
and visual alarms. The audible alarm can be temporarily muted (for
approximately five minutes) by depressing and releasing the Mute/OK
button. Closing the sash back to its operating position will reset the alarm and
defeat the muting of the alarm. The safety interlock system senses when the
sash is closed and allows the optional ultraviolet (UV) lamp to operate only
when the sash is closed, to protect the operator from irradiation.

The secondary serial tag is located on the front of the electronics module on
the top right side of the cabinet. The first two digits of the serial number are
the year of production, the next two are the month. The next 5 digits are the
sequence of production, and the letter following the serial number is the
revision level of the cabinet.

Figure F-1 is an aid to show the proper installation of the pure-Vu Seal for
the Cell Logic Biosafety Cabinet with Scope-Ready Package. Figure F-1
also shows the proper placement of the Stand-Still Isolation Platform.
Figure F-2 is an aid to show the Pure-Vu Seal fully installed with the
eyepieces extended and sealed. Figure F-2 also shows the microscope moved
forward into proper position on the Stand-Still Isolation Platform.
Stereoscopes with forward extending bases and frequent eyepiece height
adjustment typically require the selection of a Pure-Vu XL Seal and StandStill XL Isolation Platform. Figures F-3 through F-10 are an aid in setting up
the pleated Pure-Vu XL Seal. Figures F-11 and F-12 show typical complete
installations of stereo microscopes and proper placement of the Stand-Still
XL Isolation Platform. Listed next are instructions for setting up the pleated
design of the Pure-Vu XL Seal.
1. Per Figure F-3, with the outer aerodynamic collar removed, place the
Pure-Vu XL Seal over the inner aerodynamic mounting collar.
Locate the top five holes and secure with transparent tape as shown.
Pure-Vu XL Seals allow for eyepiece height flexibility of +/- 2.0" (51
mm).
Figure F-3
2. Per Figure F-4, form the first pleat and secure with transparent tape.
The seal shown has pre-cut eyepiece holes (Labconco #4027811) and
is designed for the upper portion of the glass cutout. This upper
portion of the glass cutout is used frequently with stereoscopes.
However, should you need a pleat at the middle or lower position of
the glass cutout, then the pleat can be moved lower when setting up
the Blank Pure-Vu XL Seal (4027810). See Figure F-4.
3. Per Figure F-5, form the second pleat and secure with transparent
tape.
Figure F-5
4. Per Figure F-6 and Figure 3-5, place the Outer Aerodynamic collar
over the Pure-Vu XL Seal and lightly secure in place with the 14
Phillips mounting screws. Do not tighten.
Figure F-6
5. Per Figure F-7, remove the transparent tape and then tighten the 14
Phillips mounting screws.
6. Per Figure F-8, move the microscope forward through the holes in the
Pure-Vu Seal and install the eyepiece. A tight seal should be formed
around the eyepiece.
Figure F-8
7. Figure F-9 shows the finished installation.

8. Per Figure F-10, adjust the scope eyepiece height for proper focus for
the specimen range.
9. Figure F-11 shows the completed installation of the Pure-Vu XL Seal
and Stand-Still XL Isolation Platform for one scope manufacturer.
The Pure-Vu XL Seals extend 5.5" below the aerodynamic collar.
