Flow Hood... Fail Safe???
    #27078393 - 12/08/20 08:47 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hola, I recently had the opportunity to acquire a flow hood for $100.00. I have to replace the pre-filter and the hepa filter, clean it and then put into operation. So the question, is a flow hood the alpha and omega when it comes to working contam free? Obviously, one must also flame sterilize loops/scalpels, wash hands, etc... I plan on building a "clean room" this weekend in my basement as I will be supplying my local farmer with oysters, lion's mane, etc. What I supply myself is nobody else's business. HAHA Anyway, I will post pics of my new lab once I complete it.

People are getting great results with a SAB, so I wouldn't say its alpha and omega with a flow hood, but a flow hood does make everything a lot easier. I hated working inside a SAB.

$100 might be too much depending on which flow hood it is and what condition it is in.  Some of the replacement filters could drive the overall cost higher than just purchasing a new 4x2 FFU for $759.

There is a reason most people in this hobby move to flow hoods once they can afford it...it's not just for bragging rights.

I built a 2x4 slightly imperfectly and then ordered a MyersMushroom's 2x4 because I felt inconvenienced by the rebuild necessary for my home build.  Mine cost ~$600 and theirs cost me ~$800. I'm still going to fix my build, but I've work to do. That said my 200qt SAB still has it's uses that a FH or FFU cannot manage.
