• What is the primary function of a laminar flow safety cabinet?

  Its primary function is to provide a clean, particle-free work environment, protecting the product or process from airborne contamination. It achieves this through a continuous, unidirectional flow of HEPA-filtered air.

• Is this unit suitable for handling hazardous biological materials?

• What maintenance is typically required for these cabinets?

• How does this cabinet conform to BSEN ISO 14644 standards?

• Can this cabinet be easily relocated?

Laminar flow cabinets maintain strong reputation for maintaining sterile work environments in research and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically prioritize airflow integrity and HEPA filter condition when purchasing used units, as filter replacement represents significant operational cost. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with documented maintenance history. Common strengths include reliable contamination control and longevity when properly serviced. Prospective buyers should verify airflow velocity and request certification records before purchase.
