Vertical Laminar Air Flow

Clean Air · Manufactured to order in Chennai

Vertical laminar air flow cabinet with white body, blue fascia, pressure gauge and lit stainless work tray behind a glass sash

A unit we built, photographed in our own works. Shown as an example — yours is made to your sizes, material and finish.

Vertical downflow arrangement, where filtered air passes over the work from above rather than across it from the rear. Built this way where the operator needs to lean into the work zone.

Questions about this instrument

What is a vertical laminar air flow used for?
Vertical downflow arrangement, where filtered air passes over the work from above rather than across it from the rear. Built this way where the operator needs to lean into the work zone. Typical uses include plant tissue culture, sterile dispensing, electronics and particle-sensitive assembly, research laboratories.
What is fixed before a vertical laminar air flow is built?
Every unit is made to order, so these are agreed with you before fabrication starts: Working size, Overall size, Air velocity, HEPA filtration (0.3µ efficiency), Pre-filter, Illumination, UV germicidal lamp, Blower, MOC, Power supply.
Can I get a vertical laminar air flow in a non-standard size?
Yes. We fabricate in our own workshop in Kodungaiyur, Chennai, so a one-off size is a normal order rather than a special case — the unit is built to suit the room instead of the room having to suit the unit.
Do you install and service the vertical laminar air flow?
Yes. SMS Lab Instruments installs the vertical laminar air flow in Chennai, across Tamil Nadu and elsewhere in India. Commissioning checks and ongoing maintenance are agreed for the equipment and services in your drawing. Send the instrument details and site address so we can confirm the service scope.
