Precision-Engineered Sterile Environments for High-Stakes Laboratory Applications
Free delivery in the UK.
The Union Biolabs Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is an economic professional-grade clean bench designed to provide up to localized ISO Class 5 (Class 100) environment (subject to background environment). Engineered specifically for high-risk operations such as sterile pharmaceutical compounding, microbiological research, and precision electronics assembly, this unit ensures your work is constantly bathed in “First Air”—unidirectional, HEPA-filtered air that eliminates 99.995% of airborne contaminants.
Core Performance Features
-
Grade A Sterility Standards: Complies up to EU GMP Annex 1 Grade A requirements, making it ideal for the filling of sterile vials, aseptic connections, and handling sensitive medical preparations.
-
High-Efficiency H14 HEPA Filtration: Equipped with a primary H14 HEPA filter rated at 99.995% efficiency for particles as small as 0.3μm, ensuring a virtually particle-free workspace.
-
Vertical Laminar Airflow: The top-down airflow pattern mimics cleanroom design, reinforcing the effect of gravity to sweep particulates out of the enclosure and away from your samples.
-
Advanced Microprocessor Control: A sleek digital interface allows for real-time monitoring of airflow velocity, filter life, and sterilization timing.
-
Integrated UV Sterilization: Built-in 253.7nm UV lamp provides deep decontamination of the work surface between sessions, with an automatic safety shut-off when the sash is raised.
Superior Construction & Ergonomics
-
304 Stainless Steel Work Surface: The interior deck is crafted from medical-grade, non-shedding stainless steel, designed to withstand rigorous chemical disinfection protocols.
-
Side Panels: 8mm UV-resistant toughened perspex offers maximum visibility and safety for the operator while maintaining the integrity of the pressure zone.
-
Ultra-Quiet Operation: High-performance centrifugal blowers operate at <60dB, reducing laboratory noise fatigue during long compounding sessions.
-
Universal Design: Available in both Compact Benchtop (for space-limited labs) and Floor-Standing (with integrated lockable casters) configurations.
Ideal Applications
-
Pharmaceutical Compounding: Preparation of sterile injectables, IV bags, and vials.
-
Cell Culture & Microbiology: Handling non-pathogenic cultures and media pouring.
-
Electronics & Optics: Assembly of dust-sensitive semiconductor and optical components.
-
Medical Device Prep: Sterile packaging and assembly of surgical or diagnostic tools.
