Abstract
A method of manufacturing a filter preferably for an anabolic chamber or incubator utilizing an activated carbon of the filter which has been vacuumed to remove contaminants. The assembly occurs in a clean room environment. Upon assembling the filter, vacuum sealing the filter in a bag further assures that the sterilization of the filter is maintained. Moreover, the method may subject the vacuum sealed filter to gamma radiation to kill any molds, germs and bacteria that may exist in the filter after the assembly process.
