If you’re struggling to understand the differences between horizontal vs vertical laminar flow hoods, you’re not alone. Understanding laminar airflow and fluid dynamics can bring back painful memories of high school physics classes, and in truth, it’s not necessary to understand so much information in...
Imagine losing millions of dollars over a few specks of dust. In many manufacturing industries, small particles can ruin entire batches of products, lead to recalls, and worse. As a result, cleanrooms, and an important part of them, HEPA filters, have been instrumental in preventing...
In the world of cleanrooms, air quality can make or break an operation, whether it's in manufacturing or scientific research. But when it comes to choosing between ULPA and HEPA filters, how can you be sure which one is right for your space? In this...
Have you ever entered a stuffy room, where your first impulse was to open a window? What you were trying to do, without realizing it, was replace the stale air with outdoor air. That heavy air you experienced? It was likely due to poor ventilation,...
Laminar airflow is an important element in many highly-controlled cleanrooms, including operating rooms, semiconductor fabrication plants, biotech labs, and more. But what exactly is it? And how does it contribute to cleanliness in cleanrooms? In the simplest terms possible, this article covers the basics of...
