Vertical Laminar Airflow Cabinet ADVL-509

1. What is the primary function of the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509?

The Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 provides a sterile working environment by delivering a continuous vertical flow of HEPA-filtered air over the work surface. This laminar flow helps protect samples and products from airborne contamination. It is commonly used in microbiology, pharmaceuticals, and electronics industries. The vertical airflow pushes particles downward and away from the work area. This ensures a clean zone for sensitive procedures.

2. Does the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 offer HEPA filtration and what is its efficiency?

Yes, the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 is equipped with a high-efficiency HEPA H14 filter. It ensures 99.995% filtration efficiency for particles 0.3 microns or larger. This level of filtration meets ISO Class 5 cleanliness standards. The filter effectively removes dust, aerosols, and microorganisms. It provides maximum protection for both the sample and working environment.

3. Is the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 suitable for handling hazardous or biohazardous materials?

No, the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 is not designed for handling hazardous or biohazardous materials. It only provides product protection, not user or environmental protection. For hazardous materials, a biosafety cabinet or fume hood should be used instead. This unit is ideal for sterile operations like media preparation or aseptic assembly. Always choose the right cabinet type based on your application’s risk level.

4. What are the key features of the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 model?

The Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 features a stainless-steel work surface, HEPA filter, UV germicidal lamp, internal lighting, and low-noise blower system. Its vertical airflow design ensures uniform air velocity across the workspace. It includes a transparent front sash for visibility and user comfort. The cabinet is easy to clean and corrosion-resistant. These features make it suitable for cleanroom and laboratory environments.

5. How is the airflow in the Vertical Laminar Air Flow Cabinet ADVL-509 maintained and monitored?

The unit maintains a consistent vertical laminar airflow using an energy-efficient fan system. Airflow velocity is usually pre-set but may be adjustable depending on the model. It ensures constant pressure to sustain a sterile working environment. Some models may include a pressure gauge or airflow alarm system for monitoring. Regular maintenance and filter checks are essential to ensure optimal performance.

6. Why is unidirectional flow important in Vertical Laminar Airflow?

Unidirectional flow in Vertical Laminar Airflow ensures that air moves in a single straight path downward, sweeping away contaminants and preventing cross-contamination in the workspace.
