Services Con-Test Provides CON-TEST’s specialized technicians across Canada test, certify, and maintain equipment for highly-controlled environments.
Air Quality Assessment
The concentration of airborne particulate contamination in controlled environments can be determined using laser based optical instruments which measure the size and quantity of particles in the air. Highly trained technical personnel are available to perform the tests, evaluate the data and report on conditions and equipment function.
Laboratory Instrument Services
Con-Test provides on-site calibration and preventative maintenance for a variety of lab instruments using certified test equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability. Services include functional testing, calibration, repairs, and annual maintenance to keep your equipment performing at its best.
Air Velocity/Volume
Verification of air flow values as specified by equipment manufacturers and industry standards, is essential to the proper functioning of both containment and contamination control equipment. CON-TEST can evaluate equipment and system air flows to ensure that they meet all applicable requirements.
Fume Hood & ASHRAE 110 Tracer Gas Testing
Fume hood performance is typically evaluated qualitatively by subjecting the hood to smoke tests and measuring the velocity profile. The most accurate and quantitative standardized fume hood test protocol available today is the ASHRAE 110 test.
Very few companies in North America can offer this test due to the specialized equipment and skill required. Con-Test has been performing ASHRAE 110 tests for customers across Canada for many years and we are proud to be one of those very few companies with that capability.
Class I & II Biological Safety Cabinets
Con-Test provides expert certification and maintenance for Class I & II Biological Safety Cabinets, backed by 30+ years of experience and national accreditation. We service all major brands and ensure fast, reliable support with stocked HEPA filters across Canada.
Cleanroom Testing & Certification
Con-Test is a trusted Canadian leader in air clean room classification. We provide the design, testing, certification, and commissioning for pharmaceutical, medical, research, and high-tech facilities.
Containment Laboratory Commissioning
Con-Test provides expert commissioning of containment laboratories to ensure compliance with regulatory safety standards before operations begin.
Decontamination
Equipment or systems which are biologically contaminated often require special protocols for the protection of service personnel, test instruments and the environment, prior to many service and/or certification procedures can be safely undertaken. CON-TEST has the expertise and the equipment to carry out these procedures.
Justice and Forensic Lab Testing
Con-Test provides certified testing for forensic labs and detention facilities, including fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, evidence lockers, and HEPA systems. Trusted by police forces and justice departments across Canada, we help ensure safety, compliance, and contamination control.
Patient Care Services
Con-Test offers specialized testing and maintenance for healthcare facilities, including HEPA filter changes, performance testing for isolation rooms, and monitoring air exchange rates. We ensure proper containment and airflow in patient care areas, including isolation and operating rooms, to maintain safety and compliance with health standards.
Pressure Testing
Equipment or systems with plenums or ductwork under positive pressure, with respect to surrounding spaces, and which carry potentially contaminated air, must be pressure tested to locate any leaks by which contaminants might escape. Most containment cabinet test protocols require that such plenums or ductwork be tested to verify the integrity of the system.
Viable Sampling for Microbial Analysis
Our expert technicians carefully collect air and surface samples to detect living microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and mold spores. This advanced technique helps assess microbial contamination levels in critical environments such as cleanrooms, pharmaceutical facilities, and food production areas. Once collected, samples are sent to a specialized laboratory for incubation and detailed analysis, ensuring precise identification of recovered microbes for contamination control and compliance.
Technicians You Can Trust
At CON-TEST, safety in the laboratory and workplace is fundamental to everything we do. Our highly skilled technicians have completed specialized laboratory safety training from prestigious institutions such as Health Canada and the Harvard School of Public Health.
