Laminar flow cabinets (also called cell culture hoods, tissue culture hoods or air flow cabinets) are portable, cost-effective alternatives to conventional cleanroom environments. Their technology eliminates the risk of sample contamination by producing HEPA-filtered laminar flow air, removing 99.97% of all airborne particles >0.3 μm in size. It's an energy-efficient solution designed to optimise the space inside your facility.
At TION, every cabinet is manufactured using virgin medical-grade welded polypropylene (metal variants are available) with no gaps or joints. The objective is to stop harmful particles, spores, and microbes from grouping inside your workspace and contaminating the sample. It’s also easier to clean.
A laminar flow cabinet draws air through HEPA or ULPA filters using a fan. This air is then exhausted vertically or horizontally over the workbench material to reduce turbulence and create a particle-free working environment. Due to the direction and velocity of the airflow, the sample is shielded from airborne particles, but the user is not. TION's LAF cabinets feature optional UV-C germicidal lamps to sterilise the workbench interior after each process, significantly reducing the time you spend on manual cleaning.
Our optional 316 stainless steel and multi-piece work surfaces can provide a greater degree of corrosive protection and simplify the cleaning process.
ISO 4 and ISO 5 standards are used to classify controlled workspace environments based on the number of airborne particles per cubic meter of air.
The level of protection you choose depends on your application or process.
Lighting is an important part of your laminar flow cabinet specification. Our energy-efficient 800 LUX LED lights provide excellent clarity and last longer than older fluorescent tubes.
Bench-mounted laminar flow cabinets are stationary units fixed to a pre-existing work surface. The products are ideal for laboratories short on space but lack the manoeuvrability of stand-mounted units.
Our upgradable 7" digital control panel is touch-screen ready, creating a seamless user experience. The programmable software tracks air inflow and downflow, annual commissioning dates and filter replacements. It's also equipped with a state-of-the-art red-light alarm system. This vital safety function visually notifies the operator if an airflow drop is detected.
