Laminar flow cabinets are a type of safety equipment used in laboratories and industrial environments to control air contamination and protect the products or samples being handled.

Laminar flow cabinets work by creating a uniform, unidirectional air flow that removes particles and contaminants from the air, creating a sterile area for sample or product handling.

There are different types of laminar flow cabinets, which can be classified according to their design and specific application. Some of the most common types are:

• Horizontal laminar flow cabinets: air moves from the back to the front of the cabinet, creating a sterile zone on the horizontal work surface.
• Vertical laminar flow cabinets: air moves from the top to the bottom of the cabinet, creating a sterile zone on the vertical work surface.
