Vertical Laminar Flow Design:
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter: Cleanroom-grade, 99.97% efficient at 0.3µm particle diameter. Optional Ultra-Low Particulate Air (ULPA) Filter: 99.999% efficient at 0.12µm particle diameter.
Meets or exceeds ISO 5 / Class 100 for cGMP, IEST, ASTM and ISO 14644-1 standards. Select optional ULPA filter for ISO 4/Class 10.
Positive pressure laminar airflow sweeps away particle contamination from the work area.
Vertical flow configuration fits a smaller footprint, encompassing less work space. It can also be easier to configure for tall equipment or processes requiring more vertical space.
Hood Assembly and Frame:
Includes: Hood frame, fan filter unit, LED lighting.
BioSafe® design eliminates cracks and crevices for easy cleaning and sterilization. 304 stainless steel frame supports easy disinfection, wipedown, and sterilization for medical device or biotechnology use.
Operation status indicator (OSI) light glows continuously when filtration unit is plugged in and turned on to confirm unit is operational. The OSI blinks when the unit is plugged in but switched off.
Recessed LED lighting and a hinged access shield allow for high visibility and easy sample introduction.
Low-noise WhisperFlow® FFU reduces background noise, registers under 50 dBA at 12" (305 mm) from filter face for easy communication and minimal disruption.
Solid stainless steel offers cleanliness, durability, and easy decontamination when working with sterile or contamination sensitive materials such as non-hazardous pharmaceutical compounding. The solid panel design simplifies cleaning by minimizing cracks and crevices where particles or germs can collect.
NOTE: Full stainless steel frame does not have removable side or rear panels.
Optional Accessories:
ErgoHeight automatic height adjusting table: perfect for workstations holding heavy or fragile equipment that require frequent height adjustment.
ULPA filter removes 99.999% of particles measured at 0.12µm or larger.
Filter replacement alarm prevents costly operational interruptions and avoids damage to fan blower caused by excessive backpressure from long overdue filter replacement or other abnormalities.
UV germicidal lamp to inhibit microbial growth in and around hood.
Ionizing bar for ESD-sensitive applications.
Turnkey fan filter unit system with built-in LED light and ionizers.
Two-piece vibration-isolated stand and work surface ideal for microscopes or other vibration-sensitive equipment.
NOTE: Laminar flow hoods are not appropriate in the presence of biohazards. Only an approved containment system, such as a Class II, Type A2 biosafety cabinet, should be used in applications requiring Biosafety Level (BSL) 2 or 3 containment.

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.
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).

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.
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.
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.
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.
