Consistent Air Flow in Benchtop Experiments
Fully equipped with advanced sensor technology, set of filters, stainless steel tray, and UV lighting
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
A simple-to-use system, the Ossila Laminar Flow Hood, provides a uniform clean air environment for sensitive samples. The benchtop cabinet is portable and easily fits into your exisiting lab, making it the perfect choice for small-scale experiments.
Designed to be interchangeable, you can switch between a horizontal and vertical configuration to choose the best setup for your experimental needs:
- In the horizontal orientation, achieve clean laminar air flow with minimal turbulence for enhanced sample protection against external contamination.
- The vertical orientation can accommodate bulky equipment and reduces cross contamination between samples that are easily disturbed, like powders.
Standing apart from other systems, laminar flow hoods from Ossila arrive complete with a compatible HEPA filter, pre-filter, sensors, control system, and tray. Plus, the built-in UV light helps to maintain the cleanliness of the work surface.

Laminar Flow Hood Features
High Purity Air
The H13 grade HEPA filters capture over 99.99% of all airborne particulates. High air purity is easily achieved and maintained, with ISO classifications as low as ISO Class 5, using our smart air sensing technology.
Smart Air Sensing Technology
A range of sensors monitor air quality and pressure to provide live updates about the environment and filter saturation. The smart technology allows the motor to operate at an optimal speed, alert you to upcoming filter changes, and warn you if the air flow changes.
Low Operating Costs
Equipped with low energy lighting, infrared motion sensors for running in standby mode, UV LED with variable timer settings, and back pressure sensing to monitor HEPA filter saturation. Together, these features keep energy usage to a minimum and reduce operating costs.
Fully Equipped and Flexible
Unlike other manufacturers, our laminar flow hood is equipped with all the useful components as standard—there are no hidden costs or charges before you have a working system. Plus, our interchangeable design means you no longer need to decide between a horizontal or vertical setup.
