Laminar Air Flow

Special Features
The main objective of a laminar air flow cabinet is to provide a sterile and filtered air environment. To perform this function, it uses the listed parts:
  • Work surface
  • Enclosure
  • Blower/fan
  • Prefilter/filter pad
  • HEPA filter
  • UV lamp


These parts work together to construct a laminar air flow cabinet. The blower helps the device to suck in room air from the top or front of the device. The air goes through the filter pad that collects large dust particles from the air. Thereafter, the air passes through the HEPA filter which filters out the microbes and other particles. The filtered air touches the enclosure and washes over the work surface. It clears every type of suspended microbes and particles.

To sterilize the work area, you have the option to use the UV lamp to sterilize the work area. The device is constructed carefully so that the air flow is kept laminar. All portions of the enclosed air flow in straight lines parallel to one another in the same direction. The airflow type can be vertical or horizontal in a manner based on the purpose of the sterile hood. It will keep both the sample and the user safe in absolute terms.
