Flowhood all the way. I built a SAB a similar size to the one PussyFart posted, but taller. Still not a fan. The workflow with a SAB is far too slow when you have a lot of work to do. Sure you can use a SAB to g2g a dozen jars in a somewhat reasonable amount of time. But when you have to do multiple dozens of jars and Large substrate bags AND heat seal the bags a SAB just doesn't cut it.

When I used a SAB my contam rate was fairly low. Now with my 4'x2' flow hood it's nonexistent. The only contams I've seen were from bad LC syringes from a vendor. I can leave an open petri dish in front of my flow hood for over a day and it won't get contaminated. Theres a thread on here where someone tested the amount of time they can leave petris open in their SAB. I believe they couldn't get away with having the dish open for more than a couple minutes without them getting contamed.

Nowadays when I use my SAB, I only use it for cleaning up dirty cultures on agar. I also no longer prep my SAB like most people do. I don't chem bomb my SAB with lysol like some do. It is prepped in front of the running flow hood. The SAB is simply wiped down with alcohol and then put up against the flow hood to blast the filtered air through it for about 5 minutes. While this is happening, in front of the hood, I wipe down whatever is to go into the SAB with alcohol. Then I tip the SAB over and place everything it it and close it up, all while still in front of the flow hood. Then i shut off the flow hood and I do not waste any time after that waiting for the air to settle in the box. That air is already very clean and is settled enough before the work begins. Works much better this way when I need to use it.

If you can have both, do it. They each have their place in this hobby.

It's kind of hard to keep the same precision when your movement is limited.



Then make one that doesn't limit your movement:cookiemonster:



Heres a statement from Pussyfart about his own SAB in his SAB thread.
