Vertical Laminar Flow Hood for Consistent Air Flow
A clean and sterile environment, perfect for conducting sensitive experiments with ease and comfort
Overview | Specifications | Accessories | Resources and Support
We have designed the Ossila Vertical Laminar Flow Hood from the ground up to provide a simple-to-use sterile working environment. Built to accommodate bulky equipment (e.g., a spin coater and a UV ozone cleaner), it is suitable for a range of sensitive experiments.
Unlike other models, our laminar flow hoods come fully equipped with a pre-filter and HEPA filter, sensors, control electronics, and tray. With worldwide shipping and our free two-year warranty, you can get started straight away knowing the Ossila team are available to offer expert support.

Vertical Laminar Flow Hood Features
High Purity Air
The H13 grade HEPA filters capture over 99.99% of all airborne particulates. High air purity is easily achieved and maintained, with ISO classifications as low as ISO Class 5, using our smart air sensing technology.
Low Operating Costs
Equipped with low energy lighting, infrared motion sensors for running in standby mode, UV LED with variable timer settings, and back pressure sensing to monitor HEPA filter saturation. Together, these features keep energy usage to a minimum and reduce operating costs.
Smart Air Sensing Technology
With continuous particle count monitoring, instant feedback is provided on the current air cleanliness and filter saturation levels. With this data, the motor can operate at its optimal speed, reducing energy consumption. The system alerts to upcoming HEPA filter changes, so you can easily stay on top of equipment maintenance.
Fully Equipped
Unlike other manufacturers, our vertical laminar flow hood is offered with all the useful components as standard. The price you see is the price you pay for a fully operational laminar flow hood. There are no hidden costs or charges before you have a working system.
Included with the Ossila Vertical Laminar Flow Hood
Interchangeable Configuration
The interchangeable design lets you switch between horizontal and vertical setups. This flexibility ensures you have the best configuration for your working requirements.
Set of Filters
Including a HEPA filter and a pre-filter, you can start using your new vertical laminar flow hood right away, confident that it will deliver high quality performance and a clean environment.
Environmental Sensors
Equipped with a range of sensors that monitor air quality as you use the system. These sensors provide you with live updates about the environment and filter saturation.
Differential Pressure Sensors
Sensors track air pressure across your workspace to monitor if clean air is moving in the right direction. Warnings when the air flow changes notify you of contamination risks.
UV Lighting
Our hood includes UV lights to keep your workspace clean. You can set timers to sterilize the system between uses. The in-built safety feature switches off the light when motion is detected.
Stainless Steel Tray
We make the workspace tray from durable, high-quality stainless steel, which is easy to clean and helps maintain a sterile work environment.
Why Choose a Vertical Laminar Flow Hood?
Improved User Protection and Comfort
The air flow within the vertical laminar flow hood is directed towards the floor of the workspace, not the user. This is particularly useful if you are working with substances, such as powders, which can cause irritation.
Accommodates Bulky Equipment
The vertical air flow also enables you to work with larger equipment without interrupting the stability of the laminar flow. This orientation allows maximum adaptability to your experiments without compromising the clean air environment.
Low Levels of Cross Contamination
In the horizontal orientation, contaminants are swept across the work surface, risking contamination of your other samples. Yet in the vertical orientation, contaminating particles are partially trapped at the workspace floor, reducing material cross contamination.
