About Laminar Air Flow (LAF) - Vertical
Laminar Air Flow CabinetsETC-73 works on laminar flow principle involves double filtration of air through coarse Pre Filters (upto 5microns) 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.
Material - Inner SS and Outer SS, Inner SS and Outer MS
Available in following sizes :- Work area 4X2X2Prefilters:-DOP tested as per Standard BS: 2831 with efficiency 90% down to5 microns. Made of Washable synthetic material.
Hepa Filters:-Made of Microglass fibre with corrugated aluminium foil separators. DOP tested as per US Standard 209B. Efficiency99.97% down to 0.3 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 Air Filtration with Vertical AirflowThe Vertical LAF provides class 100 cleanroom protection, achieving a consistent vertical airflow between 0.3-0.5 m/s. Its high-efficiency HEPA filtration captures airborne particulates down to 0.3 micron, creating a particle-free workspace essential for sensitive procedures.
Ergonomic and Durable DesignFabricated with high-grade stainless steel (SS 304) for its work surface, this LAF integrates a transparent counter-balanced door and sturdy side panels for visibility and safety. Accessibility and maintenance are further enhanced by lockable caster wheels and an easy-to-clean washable pre-filter.
Adaptable for Multiple IndustriesEngineered for versatility, the Vertical LAF serves pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratories, electronic assembly, and research facilities. Its robust construction, optional UV light, and precise airflow control accommodate diverse sterile environments requiring contamination control.
FAQs of Laminar Air Flow (LAF) - Vertical:
Q: How does the vertical airflow in this Laminar Air Flow (LAF) unit provide contamination control?
A: The unit directs filtered air downward in a vertical pattern across the work surface, minimizing cross-contamination and protecting samples from airborne particulates. The HEPA filter system ensures a continuous supply of clean air over your workspace.
Q: What maintenance steps are required to keep the LAF performing optimally?
A: Routine maintenance includes washing the synthetic or HDPE pre-filter, monitoring the HEPA filters efficiency, cleaning the stainless steel work surface, and checking the function of the UV lamp (if equipped). Periodic inspections will help sustain class 100 cleanliness.
Q: When should the optional UV germicidal tube be used?
A: The UV light can be activated before and after critical procedures to reduce microbial contamination on work surfaces. However, it should be switched off during sample handling to prevent UV exposure to users and sensitive materials.
Q: Where is this LAF unit best suited within a facility?
A: This unit is ideal for cleanroom environments such as laboratories, pharmaceutical production areas, electronics assembly lines, or research institutions where sterile work conditions are essential.
Q: What benefits does the stainless steel 304-grade work table offer?
A: SS 304 provides a robust, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-sanitize surface, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring long operational life even under frequent cleaning or chemical exposure.
Q: How does the control panel or manual operation enhance usability?
A: Operators can choose between user-friendly manual controls or a comprehensive control panel, depending on workflow requirements, granting flexibility and ease of use in different application settings.
