Clean Work Stations
Air is taken through a filtration system and then exhausted across a work surface in a laminar or unidirectional air stream. The filtration system comprises of a pre-filter and one or more HEPA filters. The air within the laminar flow hood is HEPA filtered, removing particles and creating a clean work zone. This protects the product only and should never be used where viable pathogens are concerned. The use of laminar air flow cabinets can be seen in many industries including the medical, pharmaceutical, scientific and electronic fields.
Applications include:
- Aseptic dispensing
- Assembly of electronics and optical components
- Cell culturing
- Media pouring
- Preparation of medical devices
