Sampling Booths
Controlled Sampling Booths with Negative Pressure, H14 HEPA Filtration and Isolator Glove System
A sampling booth is a dedicated containment cabinet used for sampling operations. Moreover, it is widely applied in laboratories, clean rooms, pharmaceutical plants, biotechnology facilities and sensitive production areas. As a result, sampling is carried out safely and with a reduced contamination risk.
Each unit is designed to protect the operator, the process and the exhaust air at the same time. Therefore, the standard configuration includes H14 HEPA filtration, negative pressure control and an isolator glove and port system. In addition, UV-C sterilisation, differential pressure monitoring and H₂O₂ resistant compact panels are available as options.
H14 HEPA Filter
Booth air and exhaust air are protected by 99.995% efficient H14 HEPA filtration.
Negative Pressure
A negative pressure regime can be created inside the booth for laboratory safety.
Isolator Glove System
Thanks to the glove and port design, the operator’s hands stay isolated from the process area.
What Is a Sampling Booth?
A sampling booth is a controlled workstation used when samples are taken from sensitive or hazardous products. Therefore, it helps protect the operator, the product and the surrounding environment. In addition, the negative pressure created inside the booth reduces the spread of particles and aerosols into the laboratory.
The isolator glove and port system allows the operator to work without direct product contact. Furthermore, HEPA filtration, UV-C sterilisation and differential pressure monitoring are combined in one unit. As a result, both safety and traceability improve throughout the sampling process.

Working Principle of Sampling Booths
Creating Negative Pressure
First, negative pressure is created inside the booth. Consequently, the escape of contaminants is reduced.
Isolated Working
Next, the operator performs the sampling task through the isolator gloves.
HEPA Filtration
Then, booth and exhaust air pass through the H14 HEPA filter for particle control.
Sterilisation and Monitoring
Finally, UV-C sterilisation and differential pressure monitoring keep working conditions safe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sampling Booths
Why does a sampling booth work under negative pressure?
Negative pressure keeps airflow directed into the booth. Therefore, dust and aerosols are less likely to reach the laboratory air.
Which filter class should be selected?
H14 HEPA filters are the common choice for pharmaceutical and cytotoxic applications. In addition, exhaust air can be filtered a second time when the risk level is high.
Can the booth be validated?
Yes. Airflow, filter integrity and pressure values can be tested and documented. Consequently, the unit fits into clean room qualification programmes.
Application Note
Several criteria must be reviewed together when a sampling booth is selected. These include product type, risk level, clean room class and negative pressure requirement. In addition, HEPA filter class, exhaust air control and UV-C sterilisation needs should be defined. Finally, the number of glove ports, H₂O₂ disinfection compatibility, automation level and validation requirements are evaluated.
Get Technical Support for Sampling Booth Selection
Sampling booths should be engineered project by project. Therefore, product risk level, booth pressure, HEPA filtration, UV-C sterilisation, glove port layout and clean room integration are all taken into account.
You can request a project based technical evaluation for sampling booths used in clean rooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical plants, biotechnology facilities and sensitive sampling processes.
