![]() In a vertical type, the air is blown from the top over the working area and moves out through the base I have carried out extensive study and came out with a design for constructing a Horizontal type Laminar Flow Hood, making use of a vacuum cleaner for the blower and press board / Plexiglas for the hood body thus reducing the cost considerably. In a horizontal type, the purified air is blown from the back and moves towards the front of the working area. There are two main types of Laminar Flow Hoods : Horizontal Airflow and Vertical Airflow. The alternative.? Construct your own equipment. large corporations, universities, and research institutions can afford this but individual hobbyists like me can not. the one with the very lowest specifications costs more than one thousand US Dollars. However, the cost of the simplest form of the equipment is very prohibitive. A Laminar Flow Hood provides a small sterile work area, where you can carry out all your culture works without the risk of contamination, simply by flowing completely purified air at a specified rate. ![]() One equipment I wanted most but beyond my reach was a Laminar Flow Hood. My interest in Mycology and Tissue culture started long back which led me to collect few laboratory equipment like Petri dishes, test tubes, weighing equipment, measuring glasses and also chemicals like Hydrogen Peroxide, Agar-agar and Potassium Permanganate.
