LTS works with the cabinet user as a team to accomplish this process. Typically the user performs the first step that is surface disinfection and then LTS performs the second step that is gaseous decontamination. Gaseous decontamination is a process of using paraformaldehyde\/chlorine dioxide gas contained in a cabinet for a set amount of time to remove all contaminates. An industry standard decontamination procedure can be found in NSF\/ANSI 49 Informative Annex 2. CETA CAG-004 Biological Decontamination and Disinfection of Accessible Surfaces in Biosafety Cabinets is another document to help understand the process in its entirety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq_groups":[7],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewistestingservices.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/117"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewistestingservices.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewistestingservices.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewistestingservices.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewistestingservices.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq_groups?post=117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
