Features and Benefits

Long Running FFU Motors

Terra’s filter fan unit motors are rated for 5 years of continuous, 24/7 operation, if the HEPA filters are consistently replaced. To accurately monitor your HEPA filter’s saturation levels, purchase Terra’s audible and visual filter replacement alarm system.

BioSafe® WhisperFlow Hoods: One-Piece Design With Seamless Tracks

BioSafe® Whisper Flow Hoods feature a one-piece design free of cracks or crevices that harbor microbes and contaminants. Surface are easy to wipe down, resistant to alcohol-based cleaners and harsh biocides.

Recessed LED Lighting Illuminates Work Area

Laminar flow hoods include long-lasting LED lighting to illuminate the work area. The LED strip is flush-mounted for easy disinfection.

Versatile Removable Panels

Removable side-panels increase the versatility of your hood by improving visibility plus simplifying equipment access. The side-panels are lined with foam gasket and slide into the hood’s frame for a simple yet effective seal. Each panel is easily removed to simplify cleaning and disinfection.

Tilt-Up Sash

Tilt-up sash enhances laminar airflow and prevents air from blowing directly at the operator’s face. Static-dissipative PVC material resists chemicals and eliminates particle attraction from static charges.

Integrated Status Indicator Light

Operation status indicator (OSI) light glows continuously when hood is plugged in and turned on to confirm filtration unit is operational. The OSI blinks when the unit is plugged in but switched off.

BioSafe®: Terra's Ultimate Cleanliness Rating

Terra's BioSafe products are designed for the most critical applications: no gaps and crevices where microbes colonize, rounded corners for easy disinfection, won't produce contaminants during sterilization, and exceeds cGMP, IEST, ASTM and ISO 14644-1 requirements.

HEPA Fan Filter Unit with Integrated LED Light and Ionizer

FFU with built-in, flush-mount LED and ionizing bar provides HEPA filtered air and neutralization of static charges. Eliminates hard-to-clean, exposed light fixture and ion bar. Includes internal baffling plate and diffuser panel.

WhisperFlow Quiet Operation Reduces Distracting Background Noise

Exposure to loud noises can lower the ability to focus on work and listen selectively, which may also lead to safety issues. Typical AC units can be annoyingly loud, measuring in the range of 70 dB (comparable to a vacuum cleaner). Terra’s WhisperFlow design produces far lower noise levels for a quiet environment comparable to a library. At 90 ft/min output, units measure under 50 dB from only 1 ft away (roughly 75% quieter than 70dB).

Highest Standards For Electronic Components

Terra’s electronic components are designed and built to the highest standards required by defense and semiconductor industries for long-term reliability and protection against damage, injuries, and electrical hazards.

  • HEPA Fan Filter Unit with Integrated LED Light and Ionizer

    FFU with built-in, flush-mount LED and ionizing bar provides HEPA filtered air and neutralization of static charges. Eliminates hard-to-clean, exposed light fixture and ion bar. Includes internal baffling plate and diffuser panel.
  • Vibration-Isolated Work Surface and Stand for Benchtop Hoods

    Two-piece stand creates a vibration-isolated work surface underneath a benchtop hood, ideal for use with microscopes or other vibration sensitive equipment. The outside stand supports only the hood to isolate vibration from the blower unit. The inside workbench nests within the outer stand without touching it, thus minimizing transmission of vibration from the hood.
  • Lighthouse Handheld Airborne Particle Counters

    Lightouse portfolio of handheld airborne particle counters ensure accurate readings of cleanrooms and critical environments
  • Ionizing Bar with Installation Kit

    Ionizer emits equal quantities of positive and negative ions to neutralize static charges within the work area, system requires no calibration or adjustments.
  • UV Germicidal Lamp

    The V-Ray germicidal UV lamp is installed within a Terra hood to inhibit microbial growth on the work surface
  • Removable Rear Plenum for Exhaust or Recirculation

    An optional adjustable rear plenum mounts on the back wall of a benchtop laminar flow hood to exhaust or recirculate air (flexible ducting not included). Rear exhaust helps minimize turbulence and optimize laminar airflow in the work area.
  • Benchtop ISO 5 Vertical Laminar Flow Hood with Automatic Height Adjusting Table

    Vertical laminar flow hoods provide a HEPA-filtered work area for protection from particle contaminants. Benchtop laminar flow hoods can easily mount to an automatic height adjusting table (28”-43”H). Perfect for workstations with heavy or fragile equipment.
  • Multifunctional Stainless Steel Base Cabinet

    Base cabinets are also suitable for supporting Terra Universal benchtop laminar flow or fume hoods. Use self-tapping screws to fasten the hood's frame to the cabinet's tabletop.
  • Fan Filter Unit with External UPS Battery

    Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system provides backup battery power to keep critical equipment running without interruption when utility power is unavailable. The separate system can be retrofitted to an existing 2’x4’ FFU. Stainless steel model available.
