Table-Top HEPA purifier? Work for LFH?
    #14116210 - 03/13/11 08:25 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Anyone know and/or have firsthand knowledge if any of the table-top HEPA purifiers will work for a flow-hood? There is one in particular that claims 99.97% effectiveness- but doesnt give a min particle size filtered. It does also employ an ion generator and UV light- and its $50.
I need only small scale equpitment- but a purifier that does not totally purify would be counter productive. Prob be good to have in cleanroom- but not to put my petris in front of!
Anyway- has anyone had success using anything cheaper than a full-on laminar hood? (besides a glovebox!)Are these home use purifiers not worth checking into? What min particle size should a unit filter out?

The purifier in question...

Anything but a true laminar flow hood would be counterproductive. That thing is just going to blow mold spores and bacteria all over the place.

Why not just make a decent still-air box? They're cheap and easy to put together and they work great for small-scale work if you don't want to throw a load of cash down for a flow hood.
