The booth is a self-contained system with blower, filters and controls to provide a safe working (100 µg/m³) environment for powdered APIs and Excipients, while sampling, weighing and dispensing.  The booth is supplied with lights, alarms, monitors and temperature control. The ceiling plenum is designed with HEPA filters and stainless steel diffuser panels (90 fpm airflow) and supplied with lights with a 5-15% bleed air discharge. The exhaust system consists of (1) HEPA bank. These filters are DOP testable units for certification. Pre-filters are provided in the return grilles.
