Laminar Flow Cabinets

A Laminar Flow Cabinet, also known as a Laminar Flow Unit or Laminar Flow Hood, uses laminar airflow to remove contaminating particles from an enclosed space with a primary function of providing a controlled, clean environment for handling materials, samples, or products that are sensitive to contamination. It is a crucial piece of equipment utilised in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, microbiology, electronics, and food processing.

New and improved features

Perforated back panel

The perforated back panel optimises airflow distribution within the enclosure, ensuring consistent and efficient laminar flow. By minimising turbulence, this essential feature helps maintain a controlled environment for your sensitive processes.

Reduced contamination

The newly designed front sash reduces the ingress of contaminated room air, lowering the risk of external pollutants and enhancing the sterile environment within the unit.

Enhanced LED strip lights

Our upgraded LED lighting system delivers brighter, more uniform illumination within the enclosure, enhancing visibility and creating optimal working conditions.

Illuminated power switch

The newly illuminated power switch offers a clear visual indicator, enabling users to quickly and easily confirm the unit's operational status.

Illuminated lighting switch

The newly illuminated lighting switch allows users to easily control lighting, turning it on or off as needed.

3-speed fan control switch

The new 3-speed fan control switch provides precise airflow adjustment, allowing you to tailor settings to your specific requirements. Maintain compliance with stringent airflow standards for even the most demanding applications.

How does a Laminar Flow Cabinet work?

The Laminar Flow Cabinet works by directing filtered air either vertically or horizontally in a uniform, laminar (parallel) flow over the work surface. This airflow creates a barrier that prevents airborne particles, dust, and microbes from entering the workspace, thereby maintaining a clean environment suitable for tasks requiring a high degree of cleanliness.

Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinets

Our Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinets utilise a top-down airflow design, with HEPA-filtered air flowing evenly onto the work surface. This ensures a clean, controlled environment—ideal for sensitive applications such as cell culture work, PCR preparation, and electronics assembly.

Advantages:

  • Low turbulence on the work surface due to parallel airflow
  • Easy positioning of products and materials close to the filter on the work surface
  • Minimal contamination from hands or gloves as the operator remains downstream from the products and materials
