Laminar flow hood For sale is The Lab16 horizontal laminar flow hood. It's been designed with three separate parts and made from lightweight rigid foam for easy countertop use, transportability, and storage. Perfect for the amateur hobbyist. Read on for the description of the three parts. Benefits: Lightweight (cheaper to ship and easy to transport or use for a short time and then store away. Designed to fit HEPA filters bought from your local hardware store. Instead of paying $300 for a new HEPA filter these cost $15+. This encourages you to replace the filter more often ensuring a highly sterile environment. Vertical laminar flow hoods, are hoods whose fan source is located above, forcing air down into the workspace before the air then travels horizontal to exit the hood. This design may encourage turbulent or billowing air coming out of the hood. This billowing air can actually draw in contaminated air from outside of the hood. Air that's flowing in a straight line is essential in a successful flow hood design. The Lab16 is designed to create clean air flowing straight out of the hood pushing all bad contaminated air out. The first of the three parts of this hood is the fan in the very back of the hood. The hood is designed to fit a powerful in-line fan with a 4 inch output. The billowing air coming out of the fan then travels into the filter box portion of the unit. This airtight box consists of two filters. The first filter is in the center of the filter box and primarily removes large contaminants and secondarily begins to move the turbulent air in a straight fashion through the box. At the end of the box and beginning the inside of the work space is the HEPA filter. This filter removes all microscopic contaminants including dust, mold spores, smoke, etc. The third part is of course the work space portion where you would do your sterile microbiology or mycology inoculations or allow your painted craft item to dry in a dust free environment with good air circulation.
