Product Overview
3Professional Product Overview
The ALC-SCIENTIFIC Laminar Air Flow Cabinet is a clean-air workstation designed to protect non-hazardous products, samples and processes from airborne particulate contamination. Room air is drawn through a pre-filter and passed through a high-efficiency HEPA filter before entering the working chamber as uniform horizontal or vertical unidirectional airflow. The cabinet is suitable for clean assembly, media preparation, non-hazardous aseptic procedures, PCR reagent preparation, electronics work and other contamination-sensitive applications. Depending on the selected configuration, it may include airflow monitoring, digital controls, stainless-steel construction, UV lighting, electrical sockets and service ports. Final specifications must be confirmed for the selected ALC-SCIENTIFIC model.

Airflow Technology
8Working Principle
A Laminar Air Flow Cabinet creates a particle-controlled working environment by passing room air through filtration stages and supplying the cleaned air uniformly across the work surface. Room air is drawn into the cabinet by an internal blower. A pre-filter removes larger dust particles and helps reduce loading on the main HEPA filter. The air then passes through the HEPA filter and enters the work chamber as unidirectional airflow. This clean-air stream helps remove particles introduced by the surrounding room, equipment or operator.
Horizontal Airflow
In a horizontal clean bench, the HEPA filter is normally installed behind the work chamber. Filtered air travels from the rear of the cabinet toward the front opening and operator.
Vertical Airflow
In a vertical clean bench, the HEPA filter is normally positioned above the work chamber. Filtered air moves downward over the work surface and exits through the front opening or grille arrangement.
