BIOTECHNOLOGY
CLEAN AIR SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTH INNOVATIONS
In the field of biotechnology, scientists and other personnel regularly handle pathogenic agents like viruses, parasites and bacterial microorganisms. Containment filtration systems play a vital role in helping safeguard both the people within the lab and the broader public. AAF’s custom clean air systems are designed to reduce and contain harmful microbes while helping prevent product contamination. That can allow the work to improve lives to take place in a safe and sterile environment.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PRODUCTS
VariCel® VXL
The VariCel VXL is the highest-performing and longest-lasting box filter in the HVAC filter line. This filter was developed to offer the lowest cost of ownership thanks to its unique combination of features. The V-bank design and dual-density fiberglass media provide excellent performance under difficult operating conditions.
MEGApleat® M9
The MEGApleat M9 filter is the longest-lasting and strongest pleated prefilter available. Its service life is 3 to 4 times longer than standard pleated filters. The low initial resistance and high dust-holding capacity help reduce energy use to lower operating costs.
DriPak® GX
The DriPak GX bag filter was designed to maximize filter life and reduce energy use. It uses microfine fiberglass media in a proprietary tapered-pocket design. Choose it for pre- or final filtration in central air handling systems as well as prefiltration for cleanrooms.
HEATMOS®
The HEATMOS high-temperature HEPA filter is designed to maximize productivity and minimize downtime. It offers exceptional ramp speed and H14 performance to meet the requirements of EN1822, even after repeated heat cycling.
MEGAcel® II
The MEGAcel II mini-pleat eFRM media HEPA filter is designed to help increase cleanroom uptime and reduce risks associated with pharmaceutical manufacturing. In addition to its durability, high particulate filtration efficiency and lowest pressure drop, the MEGAcel II eFRM is the industry’s first and only eFRM media compatible with polyalphaolefin (PAO) for HVAC validation.
MEGAcel® I
The MEGAcel I eFRM is our highest performing HEPA filter. It’s designed to be an industry leader, made with AAF’s expanded FluoroResin Membrane (eFRM) media and innovative tapered aluminum separator design. These filters help optimize system efficiency and integrity while minimizing operational expenses in the most demanding applications.
AstroClean™
AAF offers unidirectional airflow modules designed for cleanliness levels of ISO Class 5 or above. These modules supply clean air to processes and equipment for freeze dryers, vial filling systems and cell culturing. A wide range of options, sizes and configurations are available to create a solution for virtually any facility.
AstroHood® S-I
The AstroHood S-I is a fully welded terminal filter supply hood for cleanrooms that offers the lowest operating cost of any of our units. Its zero-pressure boundary penetrations help reduce risk and reduce energy use.
AstroFan™ EC FFU
The AstroFan EC FFU is whisper-quiet and can be networked and controlled for increased ease and efficiency. Industry-leading low filter resistance and our rigorous in-house testing ensure system integrity and economy.
INDUSTRY-LEADING BENEFITS
Helps protect against HEPA filter failure
Traditional HEPA filters are made of glass. If they’re damaged, there may be failure during HEPA integrity testing. AAF uses rugged eFRM polymer instead of glass in our MEGAcel I filters for HVAC systems and MEGAcel II filters for terminal systems — which have a <1% failure in the field. AAF also helps reduce leaks and failures with HEPA filters that have ceramic seals and stainless-steel separators to reduce expansion and cracking.
Helps limit wasted energy and resources
Cleanrooms are extremely demanding of natural resources. That’s why AAF designs indoor air systems to support sustainability goals for these high-tech facilities. MEGAcel I and MEGAcel II HEPA-ULPA filters are created to use less energy and lower resistance, which can help reduce your total costs of ownership. To optimize system integrity and efficiency, pair AAF’s AstroClean unidirectional flow cleanroom module with AstroHood S-I terminal supply hoods.
