Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, BFE
This test is conducted to determine the filtration efficiency of filtration materials when challenged with a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus. Items such as face masks, surgical gowns, caps, air filters, and other barrier materials can be tested.
Optional Tests for Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, BFE
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) with other challenge organism ASTM F2100, ASTM F2101, Military spec, MIL36954C
This test is conducted to determine the filtration efficiency of filtration materials when challenged with a biological aerosol, organisms used in testing are subject to approval by management. Items such as face masks, surgical gowns, caps, air filters, and other barrier materials can be tested. Filtration efficiencies can be evaluated up to >99.9%.
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) at increased challenge level Based on: ASTM F2100, ASTM F2101, Military spec, MIL36954C
This test is conducted to determine the filtration efficiency of filtration materials when challenged with a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus. Items such as face masks, surgical gowns, caps, air filters, and other barrier materials can be tested. Filtration efficiencies can be evaluated up to >99.9999%.
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) w/ Differential Pressure, EN 14683 w/ pre-conditioning EN 14683
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) test w/differential pressure ASTM ASTM F2100, Military spec MIL36954C, ASTM F2101
This test is conducted to determine the filtration efficiency of filtration materials when challenged with a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus. Items such as face masks, surgical gowns, caps, air filters, and other barrier materials can be tested. Filtration efficiencies can be evaluated up to >99.9%.
The differential pressure test determines the air exchange differential of porous materials. The differential pressure test was designed after Military Specification 36954C and is commonly requested for samples which are submitted for bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) testing.
Bacterial filtration efficiency test, (BFE) only ASTM ASTM F2100, Military spec MIL36954C, ASTM F2101
This test is conducted to determine the filtration efficiency of filtration materials when challenged with a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus. Items such as face masks, surgical gowns, caps, air filters, and other barrier materials can be tested. Filtration efficiencies can be evaluated up to >99.9%.
