{"id":243,"count":6,"description":"Laminar Hood (Biological Safety Cabinet) and Its Functionality\r\nOne of the most widely used laboratory devices is the Laminar Hood (Biological Safety Cabinet). Many laboratory experiments must be conducted in a safe and controlled environment to minimize the risk of contamination.\r\n\r\nA Laminar Hood is essentially a linear airflow hood, which serves as a physical enclosure for ventilation. Depending on the type of the device, it can protect personnel, products (materials inside the hood), and the work environment.\r\n\r\nThese hoods utilize a specialized filter called the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter functions by drawing contaminated air into the hood through built-in fans. The air is then forced through the HEPA filter at a specific pressure, ensuring that clean, particle-free air is released into the hood in a smooth and controlled manner. This cycle continues as long as the laminar hood\u2019s fan remains operational, ensuring a continuous flow of sterile air inside the chamber, thereby creating a contamination-free environment.","link":"https:\/\/azotechco.com\/en\/p-cat\/laminar-hood\/","name":"Laminar hood","slug":"laminar-hood","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azotechco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azotechco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azotechco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/azotechco.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
