i don't remember where i read this but for some reason i always thought you're supposed to leave your flow hood on for 1-2 hours before getting to work in front of it. is that really necessary?

In theory I think it should blow off any spores that may have settled on the fins of your filter, or any other parts on the front of your hood itself, so they don't blow into your work.

right, but how long should you leave it on for before you start working in front of it?

I don't think super long is really necessary, I never did more than a half hour.  Not sure if there's a concrete number.

I do only 5 minutes. Never have contamination problem. Just clean table in front of flowhood with wet paper towel. Actually I have flowhood on the floor now.
