Straddle Laminar Airflow units are used to provide product and process protection for large scale applications that would not be possible inside a standard laminar flow hood. Additionally, Straddle LAF units can be used to house robotic machines, such as those used for aseptic vial filling, closing, and capping. In many applications, use of a Straddle LAF can eliminate the need for an ISO 5 or better cleanroom.

The LAF Series Laminar Flow Hood is designed for safe, unencumbered handling of non-hazardous materials in a sterile working environment. The work area is maintained under positive pressure to protect against particulates. A HEPA filter is positioned above the work area and is protected by a removable, perforated metal diffuser. The laminar airflow utilized by the LAF Series Hood consists of moving individual streams of unidirectional, ultra-clean air along parallel lines with minimal turbulence.
