At Universal Safety Associates, Inc., we focus extensively on the testing and certification of biological safety cabinets, clean benches, and chemical fume hoods to ensure they operate at peak performance. For over 30 years, our accredited technicians have conducted precise airflow measurements, HEPA filter integrity tests, containment assessments, and overall functionality checks to verify that each device meets current industry and regulatory standards. By delivering meticulous, science-driven evaluations, we help laboratories maintain safe work environments, protect personnel and products and uphold the highest levels of service.

An NSF 49 certification is a critical assurance that a biological safety cabinet meets rigorous standards for performance, containment, and personnel protection. This certification verifies that the cabinet has been tested according to nationally recognized criteria for airflow, filtration, and construction integrity, ensuring it can safely support work with biohazardous materials. For laboratories, an NSF 49-certified cabinet provides confidence in both regulatory compliance and day-to-day safety, protecting staff, research integrity and the surrounding environment.
