Vertical Laminar Flow Hood Chemotherapy

The laminar flow hood that is ideal for your compounding workflow.

Vertical laminar flow hood chemotherapy.

Considerations for purchasing a laminar flow hood. Laminar flow hoods are available in horizontal or vertical airflow configurations. Germfree s class ii laminar flow biological safety cabinets combine product operator and environmental protection. This prevents hazardous chemicals such as chemotherapy chemicals from being directed at the person working at the hood.

The units have an extra deep work area 28 with vertical laminar flow. The flow can be horizontal blowing parallel to the work surface or it can be vertical blowing from the top of the cabinet onto the work surface. Germfree s bvbi series of laminar flow hoods provide an efficient platform for preparing non hazardous compounded sterile preparations csps. Laminar flow hoods protect the working environment from dust and other airborn contaminants by maintaining a constant unidirectional flow of hepa filtered air over the work area.

These biosafety cabinets also referred to as chemo hoods are designed for the safe handling of cytotoxic agents and other hazardous drugs in pharmacy and oncology settings as well as in other compounding operations. This is an in house training video intended to provide visual aid along side our process and procedure. Please review your own company s process and procedur. A vertical flow hood will move air from the top of the unit through filters and down to the work surface.

These hoods use a vertical or horizontal airflow design.
