High-Efficiency Filtration SystemThis Laminar Hood is equipped with a pre-filter capturing 95% of particles at 5 micron, followed by a HEPA filter with 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 micron. This dual-stage approach ensures superior airborne particle retention, maintaining a contaminant-free environment ideal for sensitive laboratory processes.
Customizable to Fit Your WorkspaceAvailable in a range of capacities from 2 to 6 feet working area, the Laminar Hood can be tailored for standalone or benchtop installation based on your laboratory needs. Choose between horizontal or vertical airflow and select display and lighting options to fit your application requirements.
Ergonomic and Reliable OperationConstructed from chemical-resistant Grade 304 stainless steel and powder-coated mild steel external panels, the Laminar Hood is designed for durability and user comfort. Low noise, minimal vibration, and adjustable leveling feet make it suitable for long hours of laboratory work.
FAQs of Laminar Hood:
Q: How does the Laminar Hood ensure a clean working environment?
A: The Laminar Hood utilizes a pre-filter with 95% efficiency at 5 micron and a HEPA filter with 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 micron, significantly reducing airborne contaminants. Its ISO Class 5 performance guarantees optimal particle retention for critical laboratory and pharmaceutical processes.
Q: What are the core components and materials used in this Laminar Hood?
A: Main construction features stainless steel (Grade 304) for the work table and body, powder-coated mild steel for external panels, dynamically balanced blower motor, pre and HEPA filters, fluorescent/LED lighting, optional UV germicidal lamp, and a digital or analog display.
Q: When is it recommended to use the UV light function?
A: UV light is recommended for periodic sterilization of the work area, especially before starting sensitive operations or after handling biological samples. It helps reduce microbial contamination and maintains aseptic conditions inside the hood.
Q: Where can this Laminar Hood be installed?
A: The Laminar Hood supports both benchtop and standalone installations, offering flexibility to suit various laboratory layouts. Its adjustable leveling feet ensure stable placement wherever clean air conditions are required within laboratory, pharmaceutical or research settings.
Q: What benefits does the low noise and vibration-free design provide?
A: Operating at less than 65 dB and designed for minimal vibration, the Laminar Hood offers a quiet and stable environment. This enhances user comfort during prolonged use, reduces distraction, and prevents disturbance to delicate experimental setups.
Q: How do users operate and monitor the Laminar Hoods essential functions?
A: The control panel features toggle or touch switches for the blower, lights, UV, and power. Users can select either analog or digital displays for monitoring air flow, filter status, and other operating parameters, ensuring reliable and simple operation.
