AAF’s Clean Air Center provides testing and analysis services designed to help organizations confirm filtration performance, understand real-world contaminants, and make data-based filtration decisions.
From routine filter performance validation to advanced bioaerosol analysis, our laboratories help transform what is captured in your air into practical guidance that supports cleaner, safer, and more efficient environments.
When you should consider testing
Testing can provide valuable answers when:
Media & Materials Analysis
Understanding what is being captured by your filtration system can provide valuable insight into environmental conditions and system performance.
Common applications include:
Filter Performance Testing
The CAC’s filter lab includes multiple test ducts capable of evaluating performance to recognized industry standards. Customers use this service to validate performance, investigate field issues, and support product development or system optimization.
Testing may include:
Bioaerosol & Biological Testing Laboratory
AAF’s Bioanalytics Program operates a biosafety‑level 2 (BSL‑2) bioaerosol laboratory equipped for microbiological, molecular, and biological‑performance testing. This laboratory supports agriculture, industrial, and commercial customers by providing high‑rigor evaluation of biological contaminants and filtration performance in environments where bioaerosols pose operational risk.
Laboratory capabilities:
Bioaerosol & Biological Concern Testing
When biological contaminants are a primary concern, AAF's Bioanalytics Program provides targeted testing and interpretation through a biological lens to help customers understand real-world performance and risk.
Services include:
