HOW LAMINAR FLOW HOOD IS USED IN THE LABORATORY

The laminar flow hood in the laboratory,
hospitals, and quality control department areas
is of great significance. Laminar flow hoods for
the production floor in many industries form an
integral part of the design and safety
scenario.  A laminar flow hood works to provide
circulating filtered air through a small area to
significantly reduce the chances of exposure to
airborne contaminants. You find that these hoods
are used in applications where the air quality is
of supreme importance at places such as
pharmacies, food production and preparation, and
in operation theatres.

The laminar hood works to protect delicate
materials and samples, especially biological
samples, and saves them from contamination by
ensuring that the air circulated throughout the
unit is almost free of dust and other airborne
materials.    A laminar flow system creates a
disease-free, non-turbulent work environment
necessary for a variety of applications. With the
laminar flow technique, airflow particulate
cleanliness is achievable. There are two basic
designs of laminar flow hoods, namely vertical
laminar flow and horizontal hoods.

With a vertical flow hood, you have the facility
to channel the room's air through an intake.
There is a blower that directs it toward a HEPA -
high-efficiency particulate air filter. When some
of the air is eliminated via an exhaust vent and
leaves the area entirely, it is once again
filtered through the HEPA and then it flows back
into the room. Since the air flows constantly
through the room, in layers, the system is
extremely useful in laboratories and hospital
rooms. The laminar flow hood draws contaminants
off the person entering the area and immediately
cycles them through the HEPA.   Laminar
horizontal hoods are usually designed as
workbenches. You will find laminar flow hoods in
settings, including medical, scientific,
pharmacologic, robotic, industrial, and
aerodynamic applications.

For instance, where it is necessary to direct the
airflow in the room of a patient who must not
encounter contaminants, laminar flow is
considered the best choice. In addition, the
biological laboratories in which contagious
bacterial or viral germs must remain contained
use laminar flow hoods.    If you look closely at
pharmacological facilities in which environmental
control permits successful compounding of sterile
medications and biological testing laboratories,
laminar flow system is present.
