Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet
Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet designed to deliver a sterile, particle-free working environment, ideal for applications where product protection is critical.
These cabinets use a downward (vertical) laminar airflow system, where HEPA-filtered air flows from the top of the cabinet directly over the work surface. This consistent airflow helps prevent contamination while reducing the risk of particles being blown toward the operator.
Unlike biological safety cabinets, vertical laminar flow units are not intended for hazardous materials, as they do not provide operator or environmental protection.
Key Features & Benefits of Vertical Laminar Flow CabinetÂ
- Provides ISO Class 5 or 4 clean air environment
- Vertical downflow laminar airflow for contamination control
- High-efficiency H14 HEPA filtration (99.995% @ 0.3µ)
- Designed for product protection (not containment)
- Reduces airflow toward the operator
- Compliant with BS EN ISO 14644-1 standards
- Energy-efficient EC fans with variable speed control
- LED lighting for clear visibility
- Stainless steel work surface for easy cleaning
How It Works
- Air is drawn into the cabinet and filtered through HEPA filters
- Clean air flows vertically downward over the work surface
- Contaminants are pushed away from the product and work area
- Maintains a sterile, controlled environment
This airflow design ensures consistent cleanliness while minimising turbulence and contamination risk.
