Vertical laminar flow workstations with multiple heating zones that enable precise temperature control across the work surface, with the provision to have a built-in microscope and integrated MIRI® chambers. Available in different sizes and configurations.
What are Vertical and Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods?
Laminar flow hoods or clean benches offer filtered airflow across the work area, protecting the sample from contamination. Laminar Flow hoods are ideal for a range of applications that demand clean air and a sterile environment, such as numerous medical and research laboratories, sterile equipment assembly, and electronic device assembly.
The majority of laminar flow hoods come with either horizontal or vertical airflow. Clean filtered air travels downward from the filter surface on top to the work surface in vertical flow hoods. Clean air travels from a filter behind the work surface toward the operator in horizontal laminar flow cabinets. The kind of procedure, operator safety, and clearance requirements all influence airflow direction.
Applications
Personnel protection is not provided by laminar flow hoods or clean benches, as it is by biosafety cabinets. In the presence of harmful substances, they are ineffective. A biological safety cabinet should be utilized if your application concerns biohazards.
Multi-zone Assisted Reproductive Treatment Workstations are primarily used for Animal In Vitro Fertilization and Sample Handling and are generally suited for non-hazardous applications requiring a clean work environment. Positive-pressure, ISO 5 air is provided throughout the chamber and sash opening, keeping airborne particulates away from sensitive applications.
