Laminar Flow Hood Mycology Vertical Laminar Flow Clean Bench Workstation for Phone LCD Repair Tissue Culture Seedlings - H-E-P-A Filter

I wanted a clean environment to install screen protectors on several devices. I’m retired from a job where we have clean laminar flow benches that work great for it. The problem is I no longer have access to that equipment. I finally had a chance to use and it worked great. It’s small enough to store away easy but big enough to get the job done

For purposes of mycologic transfers you don't need true laminar flow. This device provides a stream of filtered air with an overhang that prevents most airborne contaminants on your work space. Granted that space is small. For example a one pint jar and lid fits nicely however a quart jar though fits (barely) is hard to work with when dealing with the lid. Agar plates no problem. My first order of the "Hood" was damaged though the seller quickly replaced it, no problem. Will probably last me forever but would certainly buy again if needed.

I used this in mycology and it works. The air is a bit more turbulent than I would have wanted but the price is great. I am curious if there is a way to add a pre-filter in order to reduce the air flow enough to create a steady laminar flow. I also need a wire rack to lift the plates about 3 inches above the bottom. that is where I found the closest steady air flow that doesn't kill the flame.I have a still air box for my agar plates and I also have this. This has so far been a great help and my 20 plates have been clean. No issues. Yay.

A little smaller than I expected. Not a true hepa filter.

Not laminar flow, but I did modify it to be laminar.When testing the unit, my roommate noted that there was air coming out the top...I didn't believe them, and held a lighter up, then burned my hepa and part of the prefilter....Ok, so they are half right upon further inspection.The DC fans have a large gap between the fan blade top and the duct.I replaced the fans with Noctua high static pressure fans, this helped a lot.Then I was sitting looking at the unit, trying to figure out how to get less turbulent airflow across the work area.It occurred to me that I could relocate the HEPA to the front oriented vertically I tried it and got a smooth flame bent at 45 degrees...just need a bit of RTV to seal the top and a little bit of higher work space above the blue silicone mat.If I had to do it again, I would just make my own unit....but this is pretty decent for small work area.Heres the link for the replacement filter in case anyone needs it.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095WH84GB

I assembled the machine and followed the instructions, but still had some dust get under the first phone's screen protector I installed. I was hoping, for this high price, my dust problems were going to be finished. I'd say this machine reduces the amount of dust, but doesn't completely remove it.

Works great for mycology, at first I was reluctant to get it due to some reviews but pulled the trigger and I have a 0% contamination on agar plates(pour and transfers).For me, I wipe the whole unit down with 70% isopropyl alcohol and let it run for like 5-10mins on the lowest setting and it works great. This is also accompanied with good sterile tek(gloves, mask, wipe down work area and disinfect the air). Good cheap alternative to a flow hood, which I’m still going to buy when I get to that point(for more work space) but for now this does the job.Would definitely recommend.
