When to Replace your HEPA Filter – According to a Cleanroom Expert One of the most crucial elements in operating clean and sterile rooms is the use of HEPA filters, which are effective in capturing particles of almost all sizes. However, over time, HEPA filters lose their filtering capacity, which compromises the cleanliness of clean and sterile rooms or increases operational costs; therefore, their replacement is essential. The question is when? There is no exact answer, but KleanLabs' cleanroom experts shared their useful experience
