Abstract:
A sterile laminar airflow device useful in obtaining a workspace substantially devoid of airborne particulate contaminants, said device comprising a hollow body divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated from the upper chamber by a filter; the upper chamber having at least one pre-filtration member mounted thereon, a motor mounted inside the upper chamber between a top face and the filter, a fan driven by the motor for creating a flow of air going into the upper chamber through the pre-filtration member and out of the upper chamber into the lower chamber through the filter; and the lower chamber provided with a selectively openable front panel having adjustment members to secure the lower front panel in a variety of positions allowing selective adjustment of a width of an aperture of the lower chamber, whereby the aperture provides access to the lower chamber, a removable platform located on a base face of the lower chamber and a perforated plane located on the removable platform inside the lower chamber, wherein the air flow exits the lower chamber through the perforated plane.
