Convert any appropriate bench or workstation into a mini cleanroom environment with a BioSafe® benchtop laminar flow hood.

Ideal for science applications such as microelectronics, optics, cell culture, medical devices, non-hazardous sterile pharmaceutical compounding, micropropagation, genomics, proteomics, cell biology, and mushroom cultivation.

UL-listed Fan Filter Units (FFUs) are manufactured to the highest standards to reduce the risk of damage, injuries, and electrical hazards.

See performance data and submittal sheets for additional information on fan filter unit.

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.

Optional interchangeable panel kits are available for models with removable side and back panels. Application specific high-performance materials help support required conditions inside your laminar flow hood.

Optional Accessories:

Interchangeable panel kits: amber acrylic, black acrylic, white acrylic, polycarbonate, FM4910 flame retardant, and more.

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.

Removable rear plenum for exhaust or recirculation.

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

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).

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.
