I doubt it. Does it say anything in the writeup about laminar flow? Just being designated 'HEPA' doesn't automatically make it suitable for mycology. RR

It looks to me like a cheap plastic household hepa stuck into the upper right section of that box. I don't see how that thing could produce laminar flow. They make the claim in the header, but not later. Unless they can produce paperwork from honeywell, I'd have to call BS on their laminar flow claims. RR

That one is laminar flow for sure. I like that it has a magnehelic to read static pressure. It's 14 years old. You won't know how clogged up the filter is until you buy it. However, with the magnehelic only reading .65 inches of static pressure, it doesn't seem like it should be too clogged up though, provided the gauge is accurate. Of course that also assumes they took the picture with the unit powered up, and it's not just stuck on that figure. RR
