Protecting Product and Process With Laminar Airflow Units
Straddle Laminar Airflow units provide product and process protection for large-scale applications that wouldn’t fit inside a standard laminar flow hood. They can also house robotic machines, such as those used for aseptic vial filling, closing, and capping. In many applications, a Straddle LAF eliminates the need for an ISO 5 or better cleanroom.
The LAF Series Laminar Flow Hood is built for safe, unencumbered handling of non-hazardous materials in a sterile working environment. The work area is held under positive pressure to protect against particulates, with a HEPA filter positioned above the work area and shielded by a removable, perforated metal diffuser. The laminar airflow moves individual streams of unidirectional, ultra-clean air along parallel lines with minimal turbulence.
Suitability
Designed to meet the needs of multiple applications, Laminar Airflow Units are ideal for a wide range of industries and facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Straddle Laminar Airflow Unit?
A Straddle LAF unit provides product and process protection for large-scale applications too big for a standard laminar flow hood, including housing robotic machines used for aseptic vial filling, closing, and capping.
Does a Straddle LAF unit require a cleanroom?
In many applications, no, a Straddle LAF unit can eliminate the need for an ISO 5 or better cleanroom by providing its own controlled, HEPA-filtered environment.
How does the LAF Series maintain a sterile working environment?
The work area is held under positive pressure to protect against particulates, with a HEPA filter positioned above the work area and shielded by a removable, perforated metal diffuser, producing unidirectional, ultra-clean laminar airflow.
