Laminar Air Flow/Biosafety Cabinets

Abstract

Laminar flow is mere an indication of the direction of movement of air entering a closed compartment meant for aseptic processing of formulations or at working desk to avoid contamination. The air supplied is via ``High-Efficiency Particulate Air`` (HEPA) filters. These are filters with pore size of 0.45 μ and having an air velocity of 99 km/s. Laminar air can be supplied in the desired area horizontally, vertically, or curvilinearly. It has a UV lamp used for sterilization of working desk.
