Laminar Air Flow

Laminar air flow is the movement of air at the same speed and in the same direction, taking place along constant streamlines; not turbulent. Laminar air runs parallel with no cross over of airstreams. In contrast with laminar airflow, turbulent air flow is directionally inaccurate, creating swirl-like wind patterns, leaving particles in array, creating random and unpredictable air flow. Laminar air flow is used in a controlled environment to limit particulate and contribute to an aseptic environment.

Laminar Air Flow – keeping your controlled environment particulate free

Laminar airflow separates volumes of air, keeping the laboratory clean and preventing particulate and contaminants from entering the production area. Laminar flow hoods, laminar flow benches and laminar flow cabinets are used to oust contaminants, particulate and harmful microbes from entering a controlled environment where cleanliness is a necessity. Laminar air flow is required in cleanrooms where medical, science, electronics, nanotech, biotech, pharmaceutical and medical products and devices are created.

Laminar Air Products

Laminar air keeps a laboratory work area free of contaminants, particulate, bacteria and microbes that can be harmful to the production of products that require high levels of cleanliness. Many medical and research laboratories require sterile working environments in order to maintain successful business operations. Laminar flow cabinets or hoods provide the perfect environment for maintaining a cleanly work environment.

Why Laminar Air Flow?

Laminar air flow allows for a particle-free working environments by projecting air through a filtration system and exhausting it across a work surface in a laminar or uni-directional air stream. Laminar air flow products create a particulate free work environment and can achieve the protocol necessary for your laboratory operations.
