quantified, and this establishes the efficiency of the filter. The HEPA filters used in the
Axiom 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 and vapors will
pass through the filter.
ULPA Filters
Optional ULPA filters may be used to replace the standard HEPA filters in the Axiom.
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 in size.
