Germfree s class ii laminar flow biological safety cabinets combine product operator and environmental protection.
Vertical laminar flow hood chemotherapy.
A vertical flow hood will move air from the top of the unit through filters and down to the work surface.
These hoods use a vertical or horizontal airflow design.
This is an in house training video intended to provide visual aid along side our process and procedure.
Germfree s bvbi series of laminar flow hoods provide an efficient platform for preparing non hazardous compounded sterile preparations csps.
Please review your own company s process and procedur.
A vertical laminar flow hood works in mostly the same way but the air is blown from the top of the hood straight down.
Laminar flow hoods protect the working environment from dust and other airborn contaminants by maintaining a constant unidirectional flow of hepa filtered air over the work area.
Laminar flow hoods are available in horizontal or vertical airflow configurations.
The laminar flow hood that is ideal for your compounding workflow.
A horizontal flow hood will move air from the back of the unit through hepa or ulpa filters and to the front of the work surface.
The flow can be horizontal blowing parallel to the work surface or it can be vertical blowing from the top of the cabinet onto the work surface.
These biosafety cabinets also referred to as chemo hoods are designed for the safe handling of cytotoxic agents and other hazardous drugs in pharmacy and oncology settings as well as in other compounding operations.
Laminar flow hoods also called laminar flow clean benches force air through a hepa or ulpa filter to create a clean work area free of nearly all contaminating particulates including bacteria mold spores and many viruses.
