LAMINAR AIR FLOW MANUFACTURER
WHAT ISLAMINAR AIR FLOW?
A laminar air flow workstation is a closed cabinet fitted with HEPA filtered air flow system. Here, laminar means unidirectional constant flow of air with almost no or minimal turbulence. The air flow velocity remains between 0.3 m/s to 0.5 m/s. The purpose of using such workstations in laboratory is to create particle and bacteria free working environment to carry out specialized work. As these units discharge air towards user, they provide no personal protection but product protection from room contaminants. LAF is short form of laminar air flow.
LAMINAR AIR FLOW APPLICATIONS
Laminar air flow systems are used in various applications such as life science research, mushroom cultivation, microbiology, IVF, IUI and histopathology / pathology lab, plant tissue and cell culture and pharmaceutical and electronics industry and many more.
TYPES OFLAMINAR AIR FLOW
There are two different types of laminar air flow cabinets are constructed; horizontal and vertical. The difference between vertical and horizontal laminar flow hoods is direction of air flow and placement of HEPA filter. These cabinets are made with either horizontal or vertical air flow systems and have two stages filtration. It is the type of application which decides which is most suitable to use.
Vertical vs Horizontal Laminar Flow
Vertical Laminar Air flow
It is the most used type of laminar air flow. In vertical flow cabinet, room air is entered in working area through HEPA filter fitted on top of the cabinet. Thus, air flows downward (vertically) towards work surface and leaves the cabinet sweeping out particles and bacteria.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow
In horizontal air flow cabinet, room air is entered in working area through HEPA filter fitted on the back side of the cabinet. Filtered air flows horizontally towards the user creating sterile working environment.
