I have a flowhood!!!
    #26368127 - 12/08/19 12:18 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kinda...

A friend got one from some old lady, but he doesn't have anywhere to keep it so I said keep it over at my place!!



I'm super excited as I've never actually worked with one before, but apparently it hasn't been used in a while, so I have no idea how well it works.

I'm gonna try it out tomorrow by leaving a blank agar plate in front of it and see if anything pops up, but does anyone have any tips on making sure this thing is clean?

You should leave it running for a few hours before trying your test platesas if hasn’t been used for a while.  Maybe try a few open ones plates for different times, something like 5 seconds, 30 secs, a minute, five minutes. Also test the flow with a lighter, the flame should bend at least 45 degrees over the entire flow area.

Congratulations!!

It's my dream to own one someday.

Let it run a couple hours before you going to do the test plates!

No more SAB struggles :wink:

Haha yeah I looked at my SAB box today and chuckled hehe...

I think that old lady worked in a lab with the university but I'm not 100% sure on the backstory on how this thing came about but I'm glad its here.

I have it running right now and will test it tonight with some plates. The flow seems strong. It blows a lighter flame totally sideways but it might be too strong. Any idea on how to know if its laminar flow or turbulent flow?

Well that’s much better than no flow, is the pre-filter there and intact?

There's a filter on the top above the blower, but I don't know what it looks like under the blower, as I would have to take some stuff apart and haven't had the time, but I set out an agar plate in front of it for a minute on sunday and so far there hasn't been any growth... I'm getting impatient hehe I have some spores that I want to put on agar tonight and would prefer to use the flow hood but I'm sure its too early to know whether it's blowing clean or not... I guess i'll just SAB for tonight
