Laminar Flow Cabinets

Eliminate Contamination Within Your Workspace

TION's laminar flow cabinets create sterile workspaces to eliminate sample contamination. Our products protect particle-sensitive materials using HEPA-filtered laminar flow air and stainless steel worksurfaces.
Laminar Flow Cabinets

Cost-Effective Cleanroom Alternatives

Our Laminar flow cabinets create ISO 5 (Class 100) cleanroom conditions using high-quality H14 HEPA filters and advanced UV technology. These filters remove 99.97% of all airborne particles >0.3 μm in size, eliminating the risk of sample contamination within your workspace. With horizontal and vertical models available, we offer a series of portable, cleanroom alternatives designed to optimise the space inside your facility and reduce operating costs.

ISO Standards

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.

  • ISO 5/Class 100 has a maximum of 3,520 particles at 0.5 microns or larger per cubic metre.
  • ISO 4/Class 10 has a maximum of 352 particles at 0.5 microns or larger per cubic metre.

The level of protection you choose depends on your application or process.

Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Sealed LED lighting offers eco-friendly, cost-effective 800 LUX illumination.

The Benefits of Using LED’s

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.

Height Adjustable Stand & Casters

Height Adjustable Stand & Casters

Both benchtop and height adjustable stand-mounted cabinets are available with lockable casters for mobility.

Mounting Options

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.

Laminar Flow Cabinet Datasheet
A laminar flow cabinet is a self-contained workbench designed to protect particle-sensitive materials from contamination. It's often used for semi-conductor wafer manufacturing, trace metal metal analysis and biological testing where sample isolation is critical. Usually, the cabinets are manufactured from either stainless steel or polypropylene with no gaps or joints to prevent spore collection. However, stainless steel is expensive to produce and lacks the durability of modern polypropylene products. Polypropylene is also easier to clean and maintain.
A laminar flow cabinet works by streaming particle-free air over the workbench at a smooth, uniform velocity. The cabinet uses HEPA or ULPA filters to remove airborne contaminants and create ISO cleanroom conditions, minimising the risk of contamination. It's important to note that laminar flow cabinets, unlike PCR cabinets, also use pre-filters as an additional line of defence.

So, how is it built? The product features three enclosed sides with a frontal access port and a centrifugal fan located at the back (horizontal) or top (vertical) of the cabinet. The type of unit you choose should depend on the needs of your application. For example, the horizontal system reduces turbulence on the work surface, making it ideal for small-scale samples.

Laminar flow cabinets can use HEPA and ULPA filters. However, the type of filter you choose depends on the process taking place inside your cabinet. While ULPA filters are more accurate, HEPA filters are a cost-effective and widely available alternative commonly used throughout the industry. For more information on the benefits of HEPA filters, please visit "What Are HEPA Filters and How Do they Work?".
No. Laminar flow cabinets are designed for use with passive, non-toxic materials. The cabinets only protect the sample, not the user. Common applications include semiconductor testing, media preparation, mycology and plant tissue culture. For more information visit "What Are Laminar Flow Cabinets Most Commonly Used For?"
A laminar flow cabinet can take between two to four hours to install. It's designed as a simple plug & play system, allowing engineers to position and commission the unit without the need for external ductwork.
A laminar flow cabinet will cost between £4,000 to £6,000, depending on the complexity and size of the unit. Our laminar flow cabinets include HEPA H14 filters as standard.
While PCR cabinets use UV to sterilise the environment, LAF cabinets use an air-cleaning filtration system (HEPA or ULPA). The technology removes any particles on the work surface, ensuring a contamination-free environment. There are two separate models available:
  • Horizontal Laminar Flow Hood – Air is projected horizontally across the work area directly out of the front of the cabinet.
  • Vertical Laminar Flow Hood – Air is projected downward, and then across the work surface and out of the unit.
Remember, laminar flow cabinets are produced to protect materials inside the workspace. They do not protect laboratory technicians and are not suitable for working with biohazards. To do this, you would need a class II biosafety cabinet.
Modern Control System With Red Light Alarms
Our Pro range is equipped with a 7" touchscreen control system with audible and visual alarms to protect your staff at all costs. The cabinet's state-of-the-art sensors detect temporary airflow drops and velocity failures, triggering a bright alarm beacon visible from a distance. It's designed to offer a high-tech, failsafe solution that guarantees staff safety and monitors the health of your product.
