The Certifiers Pocketbook

Lab Equipment Spec Guide for Biosafety Technicians

Instantly look up downflow, inflow, exhaust airflow ranges, measurement areas, and compliance data for biosafety cabinets, compounding aseptic isolators, animal changing stations, and more.

Why The Pocketbook

Stop searching. Start certifying.

The Old Way

Manually hunting through outdated paper guides, searching the internet for discontinued manuals, or calling manufacturers from the field. Hours wasted before work even begins.

  • Paper binders that are outdated the day they arrive
  • Hunting for manuals on the manufacturer’s website
  • Calling tech support from the field and waiting on hold
  • No single source of truth across your team

The New Way

A pocket-sized, continuously updated database that provides instant parameters for field certification and site assessments. Always current. Always in your pocket.

  • Search by model, manufacturer, or equipment category
  • Specifications verified against OEM documentation
  • Access from any mobile device in the field
  • One subscription covers your entire team

USP Compliance & Cleanrooms

Primary and Secondary Engineering Controls (PECs and SECs) for sterile, non-sterile, and hazardous drug compounding under USP 797 and 800.

Broad Equipment Coverage

Data you can trust

Every specification in The Certifiers Pocketbook goes through a rigorous verification process. Our data is sourced directly from OEM documentation, manufacturer technical bulletins, and verified against published certification standards.

OEM-Sourced Data

Specifications are extracted from original manufacturer documentation, installation manuals, and technical data sheets.

Regular Audits

Our team conducts periodic reviews to ensure accuracy and incorporates updates when manufacturers release revised specifications.

Community Feedback

Field certifiers can flag discrepancies directly from the app, which are reviewed and corrected by our data team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the app on multiple devices?

Each user account is locked to a single device at a time. This strict single-device policy ensures license compliance and security. If you need to switch devices—for example, when upgrading your phone—your manager can instantly unlink the old device from the dashboard, allowing you to register the new one.

How often is the data updated?

Our database is updated on a rolling basis. New equipment models are added as manufacturers release them, and existing specifications are reviewed quarterly. Critical corrections are applied immediately when identified.

Do you cover discontinued equipment models?

Yes. We maintain specifications for discontinued and legacy models because many labs still operate older cabinets and workstations. If a model was manufactured by a major OEM, chances are we have it in our database.

What standards does The Certifiers Pocketbook support?

The Certifiers Pocketbook provides data to support NSF/ANSI Standard 49 for biosafety cabinets, USP 797 and 800 for pharmacy compounding, and general ASHRAE guidelines for laboratory ventilation equipment.

How does team billing work?

Managers subscribe to a plan that includes a set number of seats. They can add or remove team members at any time. Billing is centralized—individual technicians never see an invoice.
