Horizontal laminar flow hoods provide a constant flow of particulate-free air for Class 100/ISO 5 applications. Ambient air is drawn into the unit and passes through a prefilter. A blower directs the air through HEPA or ULPA filters horizontally across the workstation surface, providing a clean-air environment for media plate prep, plant tissue culture, electronics inspection, and pharmaceutical work. Horizontal laminar flow hoods or clean benches usually have a larger work area than vertical units, with room inside for instruments such as microscopes.
Features to consider when choosing a laminar flow hood include microprocessor controllers to monitor filter conditions (insufficient air flow, for example), seamless construction to minimize turbulence, easy-clean stainless steel versus rust-free polypropylene construction, and built-in lighting. Unlike biological safety cabinets, the air coming from horizontal laminar flow hoods goes back into the environment; thus, they are not for use with biohazardous substances.

| Description | AireGard™ ES (Energy Saver) model NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Flow Workstations (LAFW) utilize the newest technologies in laminar airflow design, materials and manufacturing processes. The clean workstation can be used where clean airflow per ISO 14644-1 is required for the preparation of AireGard™ ES (Energy Saver) model NU-340 Horizontal Laminar Flow Workstations (LAFW) utilize the newest technologies in laminar airflow design, materials and manufacturing processes. The clean workstation can be used where clean airflow per ISO 14644-1 is required for the preparation of injectable drugs, IV solutions, tissue culture, optics, microelectronics, etc. The clean bench should not be used for any work that involves biological agents assigned a level of Risk 1 through 4 as classified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, since the horizontal flow offers no personnel protection against these agents. The clean bench should only be used to protect the product from contamination. A significant number of design innovations give the NuAire Laminar flow equipment superior performance qualities in airflow, lighting, noise levels, and vibration.
HEPEX™ Zero Leak Airflow System
NuAire’s unique HEPEX™ Zero Leak Airflow System surrounds all positive pressure plenums by a vacuum relative to the room. The HEPEX™ System provides consistent static pressure on the HEPA filter resulting in consistent airflow velocity over the entire work surface. The flexible design reduces any vibration and noise transfer from the motor blower. ...
