About Laminar Air Flow Cabinets Horizontal
Laminar Air Flow Cabinets- Horizontal ETC-73ALaminar Air Flow Cabinets works on laminar flow principle involves double filtration of air through coarse Pre Filters (upto 5 microns) and Hepa filters (down to 0.3 microns) for filtration of Biological & Particulate contaminants. A constant uni-directional air flows either Horizontally or Vertically, is drawn from atmosphere and passed through pre and Hepa filters on to the work surface. Fabricated out of reinforced pest and weather resistant Duro-board which is clad in from outside in laminated sheet and inner exposed areas are finished in Epoxy paint. Table top stainless steel sheet. Side panels are fixed and made of clear plexiglass. Front door is folding & made of clear plexiglass.
Prefilters:-DOP tested as per Standard BS: 2831 with efficiency 90% down to 5microns. Made of Washable synthetic material.
Hepa Filters:-Made of Microglass fibre with corrugated aluminium foil separators. DOP tested as per US Standard 209B. Efficiency 99.97% down to0.3 microns.
Blower Units:-Assembly of AU or equivalent motor workable on 220V AC 50Hzsingle phase, dynamically balanced blowers making the unit least vibrant with minimum noise level.
Features:-- Lighting : Fluorescent tube lights
- Sterilization : Germicidal Ultra Violet (UV) tube
- Manometer : Static pressure thick Acrylic block type
K-System:-The K-System encompasses the specialist requirement of ocyte, and embryo handling during procedures in both animal and human reproduction. The K-system is often built into a Laminar Flow Cabinet. The utensils are warmed by the heating of part of the table plate of the cabinet.
The transmitted light source and the regulation transformer for the stereo microscope are located under the stainless steel table plate, with a window for transmitted light built into the table plate.
Advantages of the K-System:-- Maximum working area in Laminar Flow Cabinet
- Handling of ocytes and embryos on one level
- All ocytes from one patient in one storage tray
- Ocytes stored in cabinet until insemination
- Cleaning is easy and sterilization possible
- Laminar with All Stainless steel body / Sealing / Wall Hanging can also be fabricated
- Suitable for Pharmaceutical Industries as per the requirement
Superior Filtration and Clean Air DeliveryEquipped with a high-efficiency HEPA filter and synthetic fiber pre-filter, the cabinet achieves 99.99% particle retention at 0.3 micron, ensuring ultra-clean environments for sensitive laboratory tasks.

FAQs of Laminar Air Flow Cabinets Horizontal:
Q: How does the Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Cabinet maintain a particle-free workspace?
A: The cabinet uses a combination of washable synthetic fiber pre-filter and a HEPA filter with 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 micron to create a unidirectional, particle-free airflow, meeting ISO 14644-1 standards for laboratory cleanliness.
Q: What materials are used in constructing the work surface and panels?
A: The work table is made from SS 304 grade stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning, while the side panels and sliding front door are constructed from clear acrylic, allowing maximum visibility during operation.
Q: When should the pre-filter be maintained or replaced?
A: The washable synthetic fiber pre-filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly, depending on usage frequency. Its washable nature allows for repeated use; replacement is recommended if physical damage or diminished filtration is observed.
Q: Where is this Laminar Air Flow Cabinet typically installed?
A: It is primarily installed in laboratory environments that require stringent contamination control, such as research institutions, biotechnology labs, pharmaceutical quality control, and electronics manufacturing clean rooms.
Q: What process does the cabinet use to achieve its high efficiency?
A: Air is drawn into the pre-filter, passes through the dynamically balanced blower motor, and then moves horizontally through the HEPA filter, ensuring distribution of purified air across the workspace with minimal vibration and noise.
Q: How is the air velocity regulated within the cabinet?
A: The cabinet maintains a controlled horizontal air velocity of 0.45 0.05 m/s, which is monitored via analog or digital displays, supporting precise airflow management for sensitive laboratory work.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this horizontal laminar flow cabinet in laboratory settings?
A: This cabinet provides a highly efficient clean-air environment through reliable particle retention, low operational noise, high illumination, and robust construction. Its compliance with ISO standards ensures safety and reproducibility for laboratory procedures.
