A laminar flow cabinet is designed to prevent contamination of the sample being worked on. The cabinet's airflow configuration draws air through a main filter, typically a HEPA or ULPA filter. The filtered air is then blown towards the user in a laminar flow pattern, protecting the sample. The main filtration system can trap microair particulates and/or microbes from the ambient air, providing only clean and sterile air to the working zone. The laminar flow cabinet is also designed with stainless steel material, which has no gaps or joints that can accumulate microbes and promote their growth.

Why Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet?

Vertical laminar flow cabinets are widely used in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) laboratories and the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). The MIRI® laminar flow cabinet ensures a constant and reliable flow of HEPA/ULPA filtered air into the working zone, which flows unidirectionally downwards. This configuration ensures that sample handling can be protected throughout the process. The perforation system at the back wall of the MIRI® Laminar Flow Cabinet is designed to eliminate air turbulence and the possibility of dead air zones at the corners of the working surface.

Applications 

A laminar flow cabinet is designed to protect only the sample, not the personnel handling it. This means that laminar flow cabinets are unsuitable for handling pathogenic or harmful samples as they could pose a risk of infection to the personnel. Therefore, the MIRI® Laminar Flow can be effectively used to handle samples in the ART field.
