Why to select laminar flow cabinets?

• In creating a particle-free working environment
  Laminar Flow Hood cabinets help a lot and it does
  it by projecting air through a filtration system.
• In simple words, there are numerous particles
  floating in the ambient air. They consist of
  microbes such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and
  many more. For any plant tissue culture
  laboratory they are a must-have as working
  sterile is the key to a successful culture.

Working of a laminar flow hood

• Working principle is basically based on the
  laminar flow of air through the cabinet. This
  simply indicates that air is moving at the same
  speed in the same direction.
• This device basically works by letting inward
  flow of air but at first it should pass through a
  pre-filter.
• Next, towards the HEPA filters the blower or fan
  directs the air.
• The filters then trap the bacteria, fungi and
  other particulate materials so that the air
  moving out of it remains particulate-free air.
• Then across the work surface the air passing
  through the filter is exhausted as a part of the
  laminar flow of the air.
• As the laminar flow hood cabinet is closed on the
  sides external air with contamination cannot
  enter.

Types of laminar flow cabinets

• Vertical laminar flow cabinets
• These cabinets even recalculate and filter the
  air from inside apart from filtering the air from
  outside the hood. However, over the workspace
  from the top clean air comes out in a downward
  direction.
• Horizontal laminar flow cabinets
• From outside the hood these cabinets filter the
  air and it blows the clean air from the back of
  the hood towards the operator. It creates
  horizontal airflow of particulate-free air. This
  type of cabinet is highly suitable as it gives
  the most control over contamination.

Things to avoid while using a laminar flow

• From the cabinet workbench any waste or other
  non-sterile items should be away. In the airflow
  these things create turbulence and can create
  contaminations.
• Around your hands and wrists you should not wear
  any jewelry/watches.
• Never place large objects near the back of the
  cabinet as they can result in disruption of the
  laminar airflow and create contaminations.
• The most important point to keep in mind is that
  inside the Laminar Flow Hood cabinet never uses
  non-sterile culture vessels.
