Horizontal Laminar Air Flow
WEIBER Horizontal Laminar Flow workstations are designed to protect the product within the work area from airborne particulates in the ambient air. The regulated efflux of custom made laminar airflow supplies the work zone with ISO Class 5 air cleanliness to offer the best product production by a clean bench in the industry. The Horizontal Laminar Flow workstations pushes the air through a HEPA filter and directs the filtered air horizontally over the work surface at a constant speed, toward the operator.
Our versatile unit is useful for various works that require maintenance of the cleanness and purity like plant tissue culture, examination and experimentation of precision electronic parts, medical science, entomology, pharmacy, agriculture sector, seed science, veterinary science.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow generally have a taller and therefore a larger loading and working area. This allows for instruments, like microscopes to be placed inside. They are typically the preferred selection for plant tissue culture, media plate preparation, electronics inspection, medical device assembly and pharmacy drug preparation. Because they do not provide protection to the user, they should not be used in conjunction with biohazardous material, toxins or radionuclides. One of the key benefits is the absence of a sash, which is an advantage when placing instruments and equipment inside. This cabinet also known as Laminar Air Flow Cabinet.
How To Use Horizontal Laminar Air Flow?
A Horizontal Laminar Air Flow (LAF) is a clean air workstation designed to provide a sterile environment by directing filtered air in a horizontal path across the work surface. To use it, first switch on the unit and allow it to run for 10–15 minutes to stabilize airflow. Always sanitize the workspace with 70% alcohol before starting. Place only essential sterile materials inside to avoid contamination. Work at least six inches inside the cabinet, maintaining steady, minimal movements to prevent air disturbance. Avoid blocking airflow with hands or objects. After completion, disinfect surfaces and switch off the unit properly.
Applications
- Product Protection: Horizontal laminar flow cabinets provide a sterile, particle-free environment that protects sensitive products, materials, and experiments from airborne contaminants during laboratory or industrial processes.
- Contamination Control: The main objective of a horizontal laminar flow cabinet is to maintain a sterile, particle-free workspace that safeguards product integrity and prevents contamination during sensitive laboratory or industrial processes.
- Positive Pressure: Horizontal laminar flow cabinets maintain positive air pressure within the workspace to block contaminated room air from entering, ensuring a clean and sterile environment for sensitive operations.
Acmas Technologies’ Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet delivers ISO Class 5 air cleanliness, ensuring a sterile, particle-free environment for sensitive laboratory tasks. Equipped with high-efficiency HEPA filters, it provides uniform horizontal airflow across the workspace, minimizing contamination risks. Ideal for microbiology, pharmaceutical, and electronics applications, the cabinet ensures maximum product protection and process integrity. Its ergonomic design, low noise operation, and durable construction make it a reliable choice for precision work in controlled environments.
