What are Vertical and Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods?
Laminar flow hoods or clean benches offer filtered airflow across the work area, protecting the sample from contamination. Laminar Flow hoods are ideal for a range of applications that demand clean air and a sterile environment, such as numerous medical and research laboratories, sterile equipment assembly, and electronic device assembly.
The majority of laminar flow hoods come with either horizontal or vertical airflow. Clean filtered air travels downward from the filter surface on top to the work surface in vertical flow hoods. Clean air travels from a filter behind the work surface toward the operator in horizontal laminar flow cabinets. The kind of procedure, operator safety, and clearance requirements all influence airflow direction.
Multi-Zone heating system
Excellent uniformity is achieved thanks to ten distinct zones with their own heating elements and sensors. The heating system will prioritize power distribution automatically to provide accurate temperature regulation and quick recovery. The temperature regulation of MIRI® chambers is always on in models with MIRI® chambers, independent of mode.
- Multiple independent heating zones, each with its own heating elements and sensors, with no crossover heating across zones.
- The heated glass stage has its own independent heating zone further to enhance the temperature control and recovery in this zone.
Microscope integration provision
- Provision to integrate the most popular stereoscopic and inverted microscopes.
- The work chamber’s integrated stereoscope allows users to keep culture dishes at a constant temperature while observing and manipulating them. Accidents will be less likely with fewer movements.
Touchscreen monitor
Fully functional Windows PC with a touch screen provides real-time information on all work area parameters e.g. zone temperature performance, gas pressure, and flow rate. Here are the touchscreen monitor’s full and detailed specs:
- Displays the temperature of the heated surface, as well as the gas flow and pressure.
- Reports of these parameters can be generated.
- Observe and record culture behavior in real-time via microscope camera function.
- Enable teleconference calls with colleagues in other sites for real-time collaborative work.
- Note: Webcam is not supplied.
Superior Air Cleanliness
Esco cabinets deliver ISO Class 3 air cleanliness within the work zone, which is much cleaner than the competition's Class 4 designation.
Less Noise, Less Vibration
The Esco Multi-Zone ART Workstation offers cutting-edge design and features that result in extremely low noise and vibration levels, making it ideal for sensitive microscopic work.
