What are Horizontal Laminar Airflow Hoods, and how do they support sterile laboratory work?

Horizontal Laminar Airflow Hoods are specialized laboratory workstations designed to protect sensitive products and materials from airborne contamination. NuAire horizontal laminar airflow workstations use HEPA filtration to direct clean, unidirectional air horizontally across the work surface, creating an ISO Class 5 environment for critical procedures. These workstations are suitable for sterile, non-hazardous drug compounding, cell culture, media preparation, microbiological work, and other applications that require product protection. NuAire offers benchtop and console models with configurable designs to accommodate different laboratory layouts and workflow requirements. Their controlled airflow, ergonomic construction, durable components, and accessible work areas help laboratories maintain aseptic conditions, improve operational efficiency, and support compliance with USP <797> standards. Horizontal Laminar Airflow Hoods are intended for non-hazardous materials and should not be used when personnel or environmental protection from hazardous substances is required.
