Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Cabinet
- In this cabinet, the air enters from the outside environment to the inside cabinet from the rear side of the workstation.
- After air entrance, the blowers enforced the air towards the HEPA Filters for the removal of dust and all other airborne particulates.
- The filtered air after circulation moves out from the cabinet as discharging air and dissipates in a horizontal flow pattern at a workstation.
- The horizontal laminar airflow is always parallel to the workstation that is beneficial to clean the environment at continuous and constant air velocity.
- But its drawback is that discharged air directly moves out towards the operator resulting in the mitigation in its protection rate.
Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet
- In a vertical laminar flow cabinet, the direction of the air is from the top side of the cabinet to the bottom side that is vertical to the workstation.
- The air is also drawn towards the HEPA Filters by blowers or through the fans for filtration.
- The workbench in vertical cabinets does not require more space, not depth. This makes an easiness in vertical airflow without making any hurdle in downstream airflow.
- The discharged air does not pass over the workbench as in horizontal cabinets but it vertically moves downward.
- One of its benefits is that it does not dissipate the air directly towards the workers’ face limiting its side effects on human health.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Cabinet
How is a Laminar Air Flow Cabinet Different from Biosafety Cabinet?
Biosafety Cabinet
- A biosafety cabinet is designed to protect the specimens and other material from contamination by outside air.
- Recirculation of the airflow pattern is configured inside the cabinet to deal with airborne particulates.
- Discharged air is dissipated from the cabinet through the exhaust hood present on the top side of the cabinet.
- Both the material and the operator remain safe while working in the biological safety cabinet.
Laminar Air Flow Cabinet
- It is also used for material protection and aseptic specimen distribution under controlled conditions as compared to outside contaminated environments.
- A laminar airflow pattern is followed inside the cabinet that is directed to dissipate instead of recirculation as in safety cabinet class 2.
- There is no biological safety hood to discharge the air from the laminar cabinet but instead, some of the air discharged out from rare perforation but a high amount of air discharged out directly contacting with operators face.
- Only specimen is remained protected inside the Laminar Air Flow Cabinet, not operator as compared to the biosafety cabinet.
