Horizontal vs Vertical Laminar Flow Hoods Laminar flow hoods are designed to protect samples and parts from particulate contamination. Air flows in a uniform direction with a constant speed within the enclosed bench with little to no crossover air streams.

Laminar flow hoods are available in horizontal or vertical airflow configurations. A horizontal flow hood […]
