Flow Hood Question
    #20258936 - 07/11/14 05:50 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hello! i've been lurking quite a while now but it's my first time posting. hopefully this is the correct forum!

I have been doing Still Air Box work so far and having good luck but I have the opportunity to buy a flow hood.

this is the model but not the unit i would be buying

http://www.acelabsystems.com/images/access/70628/NUAIRE%20NU-408FM-200.htm

the flow hood is pretty small, however. does anyone have experience working with a small flow hood vs. a still air box? the specs show the work access opening to be 8in. Is it worth it? i can get the same unit for $250



thanks!

So you've only got an area of 8 square inches to work in? That'd be pretty useless. The smallest hood I would use is a 12" x 12" but that's still barely big enough to do 1-2 G2G at a time. It'd be a complete bitch trying to inoculate a bag in front of it.

For just a little more than your $250 you could build a hood big enough that moving it would suck.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.

:whathesaid:
I use a 12" x 12" and its a giant pain in the ass.  I have to sit it up on blocks to g2g the large spawn bags, or keep the bag to the side of the flow and bend the opening over into (and keep it in) the sterile flow.  But it's pretty damn handy to have around for small batches of petri dishes and other agar work as you can see much easier than through a SAB.
