A laminar flow workbench is a bench with a customized hood that’s designed to keep the air in your work area free from contaminants and flow smoothly around the various tools.

A laminar flow workbench is a bench with a customized hood that’s designed to keep the air in your work area free from contaminants and flow smoothly around the various tools. These workbenches have a special hood on top that draws air through High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air filter and blows it away across work surface in unidirectional flow. From medical research in laboratories to electronic parts assembly, there are so many amazing uses of these workflow benches in laboratory. Some of these uses are listed here

1.      Medical and Research Laboratories

A laminar flow bench can be operated at a negative pressure of up to -0.5 inches of water to keep the samples and research material from contaminating the surrounding environment. It is made of stainless steel with a laminate cabinet and can be wall mounted. This custom hood is used in the cleanroom where you can maintain a negative pressure inside to keep it dust free and reduce cross contamination even when opening doors or windows.

2.      Tissue Cultures and Sterile Culture Rooms

A laminar flow bench helps to maintain a sterile environment in the culture room. It is used to handle the tissue cultures along with other laboratory equipment like microscopes and autoclaves. The cultures are kept in a laminar airflow so that they aren't prone to infection, contamination or invasion by high humidity, temperature or any other harmful element of the environment.

3.      Dry Storage Chambers

These benches are also useful in storing dry items inside a sterile chamber which is important for companies engaged in research and development as well as pharmaceutical manufacturing. The products could be medicines, chemical fertilizers or even bio-technological material.

4.      Electronic Parts Assembly and Testing

Most bench top workstations in electronics are not designed with proper containment. This can lead to contamination of the work surface and endanger the people working on the project. The laminar flow hood helps to prevent any such risk of contamination by creating a sealed environment around where you are working.

5.      Food Processing

Food processing requires complete control over the air flow. A laminar flow bench is used to open, process and package food in a safe manner without exposing it to any airborne contaminants from other sources which could spoil it or make it less nutritious for consumers. Many food packaging and manufacturing industries use laminar flow workbench on a large scale for safe production.

In conclusion, a laminar flow bench is an essential piece of equipment for any lab. It not only helps you in maintaining cleanliness and air quality but also provides a safe work environment. So, when you are working in the lab, make sure that your desk is equipped with one of these laminar flow benches so that you don't have to face any hassle while working.
