Labconco’s Protector XVS connects to an in-house exhaust system for rapid removal of fumes from the classroom or lab.
Labconco manufactures large, floor-mounted fume hoods that can accommodate entire carts full of fume-producing materials.
NEC Class I, Division 1-compliant explosion-proof fan ventilates fumes through carbon filters for safe indoor release (for use with non-hazardous fumes; order work surface and vapor-sealed or explosion-proof light separately)
WhisperFlow® Vertical Laminar Flow Hoods provide an economical ISO 5-compliant enclosure for particle-sensitive processing (48"W model shown with static-dissipative panels; other sizes and materials available).
Stainless steel VLF Station provides HEPA-filtered airflow over a microscope workstation to prevent contamination of slide or optics; detached work surface isolates hood vibration for high-magnification viewing.
Operators can safely replace the HEPA filter(s) within an RXPert hood without exposing themselves to contamination.
Static-dissipative PVC tilt-up shield on the ValuLine® Vertical Laminar Flow Station enhances unidirectional air flow and protects operator against chemical splashes.
ValuLine® Vertical Laminar Flow Stations accommodate multiple users and bulky process equipment (shown: 8-foot wide powder-coated steel models).
Touchscreen PLC panel controls operation of motorized shield, which optimizes laminar air flow and protects operator against chemicals
Labconco’s Protector ClassMate Series of fume hoods has a glass rear panel and sides for total visibility of the work area, ideal for educational labs.
Labconco’s Xpert Balance Enclosures can be customized to provide additional workspace and conveniences, such as bulk API access and waste ports.
Labconco’s Xpert Nano Series of ductless exhaust hoods features an ULPA filtration system for the highest level of protection against nanoparticulates.
Terra’s PCR Workstation features a built-in UV light for decontamination of the hood following DNA- and RNA-processing; availble in several materials.
Terra’s Benchtop Ductless Fume Hood offers a comfortable, sloped sash for better visibility of the workspace.
Labconco’s Protector XL Series of oversized fume hoods provides significantly more space for working or storage without compromising safety.
High-performance, low-volume and energy efficient benchtop with Upper Dilution Air Supply, Clean-Sweep™ Sash Handle, Rear Downflow Dual Baffle System, Opti-Zone™, Eco-Foil™ Air Foil.
Horizontal-flow clean bench includes multi-speed HEPA filter/fan units to meet ISO 5 cleanliness standards; take-up return slots minimize edge turbulence
Packing powders and gels into pills requires a sterile workspace free of airborne contaminants. A laminar flow hood with motorized shield will help protect both the pharmaceuticals and the operator during packaging.
Laminar is derived from the Latin lamina, a thin sheet of material. When used to describe a laboratory hood, the term "laminar flow" refers to air exiting a filter in parallel layers that move at the same speed and in the same direction, vertically or horizontally across the enclosure. Any particles introduced in a laminar flow of air during a work process are predictably swept in the direction of the flow and removed from the enclosure, downstream of critical processes.
Disruption to laminarity results in turbulence, a randomized flow that suspends particles in eddies rather than removing them. Because they can remain in the system, carried by "second-pass" air that swirls around the critical work area, contaminants are deposited unpredictably, often with disastrous results.
Vertical laminar flow (VLF) hoods position the fan filter unit on top of the hood, a space-efficient design that accommodates most facilities as long as overhead clearance isn’t a problem. Horizontal laminar flow (HLF) hoods position the fan on the back of the hood, necessitating as much as 18" or more additional floor or bench space for fan, filter and make-up air flow. In a cleanroom or lab where space is at a premium, that difference alone could determine your choice. Footprint Advantage: VLF Hood
VLF hoods often have an adjustable sash at the front of the hood to maintain the downward laminar air flow. HLF hoods are generally open at the front of the hood to ensure unrestricted horizontal air flow. The larger opening of an HLF hood makes placement of large objects and instruments easier when compared to a VLF hood although, without a sash to serve as a shield, chemical fumes or powders inside the work area may blow into the operator's face. Sash Advantage: VLF Hood (operator safety); HLF Hood (transferring large materials)
Although both hoods are effective at sweeping particles from the hood, air eventually encounters obstacles that disrupt laminar flow. In most VLF hoods, the work surface creates turbulence, so critical processes must be performed above the surface to avoid contact with "second-pass" air that could contaminate a sensitive operation. Some VLF designs include a perforated floor with sub-surface plenum to reduce this obstruction, but these measures add cost. HLF hoods generally minimize this airflow disruption. However, large objects placed on the work surface can cause swirling or contaminate downstream materials, so critical operations should take place adjacent to the filter face. Laminar Flow Advantage: HLF Hood
We end with a tie; your working conditions will help you determine which of these advantages matter most in your operation.
Safety Alert: Under no circumstances should laminar flow hoods be used in the presence of hazardous materials. Use a fume hood or biological safety cabinet for safe biohazard containment.
