 Avoid using techniques or procedures that disrupt the airflow patterns of
the hood.

to three minutes undisturbed, to purge airborne contaminants from the
work area before shutting down blower.

decontaminated before removal from the hood.
 All open trays or containers should be covered before being removed from
the hood.
