In controlled environments where safety, sterility, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, the efficacy of your ventilation and filtration systems can’t be left to chance.
At VaLogic, we bring over twenty years of hands-on experience supporting GMP-regulated environments for life sciences companies. Our nationwide team of technicians delivers reliable testing and certification services that meet rigorous industry standards and exceed client expectations.
Whether you manage one lab or oversee multiple sites, VaLogic is your trusted partner for hood certifications that are essential for safe, compliant workflows.
We offer complete performance testing and certification services for all major laboratory hoods—chemical fume hoods, laminar flow hoods, and biosafety cabinets. Each type of equipment plays a different role in safety and compliance, and we test them all according to the latest industry standards.
Chemical fume hoods are designed to protect lab personnel from hazardous fumes, vapors, and air particles. These ventilated, enclosed workstations use exhaust fans to trap and pull contaminants away from the user and into the atmosphere.
Fume hoods allow employees to work with volatile substances like corrosive acids, toxic gases, flammable solvents, and reactive materials. They’re an essential feature in any chemical processing lab, university research facility, or pharmaceutical development center.
To maintain effectiveness and remain compliant with OSHA and ASHRAE 110 standards, fume hoods should be tested annually or anytime they’re moved, modified, or repaired.
VaLogic’s certification includes:
Laminar flow hoods, also known as clean benches, are ideal for processes that require clean environments but involve non-hazardous materials. This type of hood protects your products from contamination with HEPA air filters and unidirectional airflow, pushing particles vertically or horizontally away from the work area.
Common applications include aseptic media preparation, electronics assembly, tissue culture work, and other sterile operations. Laminar flow hoods do not protect lab personnel or the surrounding area, only the product inside the hood.
We recommend clean bench testing and certification on an annual basis, or sooner if filters are changed or units are relocated. Our tests include:
Biosafety cabinets are designed to contain and filter biological hazards such as microorganisms, biotoxins, and other infectious materials. Used widely in infectious disease labs, hospital settings, and high-containment facilities, BSCs protect personnel, the environment, and the products being handled.
Biosafety cabinets fall into three categories: Class I, II, and III
BSC testing and certification should be completed every 6 to 12 months, as well as after maintenance or relocation.
VaLogic’s BSC testing meets NSF/ANSI 49 standards and includes:
