Laminar Flow Cabinet in Ghana, Ethiopia

In any laboratory, keeping your workspace clean and free from contamination is essential. Whether you’re conducting delicate microbiological procedures, preparing pharmaceutical compounds, or handling electronics, even the smallest airborne particles can disrupt results. That’s why having the right equipment is crucial — and the Airstream® Gen 3 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is designed exactly for that.

With its strong build, energy-efficient design, and advanced air filtration system, this laminar flow cabinet is trusted by labs around the world. Let’s take a detailed look at what it is, how it works, and why it could be the perfect fit for your lab.

What Is a Laminar Flow Cabinet?

A laminar flow cabinet, sometimes called a clean bench, is a specialized workstation that keeps the work area sterile by directing a smooth stream of filtered air across the surface. This air flow sweeps away dust, microbes, and other airborne particles, helping to protect your samples and tools.

There are two main types: horizontal and vertical laminar flow cabinets. The Airstream® Gen 3 is a vertical model, meaning air flows from the top down to the work surface and then exits out the front, providing a clean and controlled zone directly above your work.

These cabinets are widely used in:

Microbiology and research labs
Pharmaceutical compounding
Electronics assembly
Cleanroom support areas
Tissue culture and cell biology labs

If your work doesn’t involve hazardous chemicals but demands particle-free conditions, a vertical laminar flow cabinet is a smart, reliable choice.

Why the Airstream® Gen 3 Is a Top Choice

Not all laminar flow cabinets are created equal. The Airstream® Gen 3 from Esco brings modern design and engineering together to deliver a high-performance, easy-to-maintain cabinet that fits smoothly into your lab environment.

Here are some of its most impressive features:

Clean Airflow Solution

ULPA Filter Technology: The cabinet is equipped with ULPA (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filters, which effectively remove microscopic airborne particles. These filters provide a much cleaner air output than standard HEPA filters, making this cabinet ideal for sterile and particle-sensitive tasks.
ISO Class 3 Work Zone: The clean air delivered inside the cabinet meets ISO Class 3 standards, ensuring the air inside the workspace is nearly free of particles — perfect for precision tasks.
Energy-Efficient DC ECM Blower: The Airstream® Gen 3 uses a direct current electronically commutated motor (DC ECM) blower that consumes up to 70% less energy compared to traditional AC motors. It also offers better performance and longer life with less noise.
Low Noise Level (52.4 dBA): Working long hours in a noisy lab can be draining. Thankfully, this unit is designed to be quiet, with a noise level of just 52.4 decibels — about the same as a quiet office — making it ideal for focused work.
Durable Stainless Steel Side Walls: The cabinet’s side panels are made from high-grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to disinfect. This also helps maintain a sterile environment over time.
Sliding Front Sash: The smooth sliding sash (front window) gives you easy access to the workspace while still maintaining proper airflow when partially open. It also improves user safety and convenience.
Available Internal Heights: Choose between 2 ft or 3 ft internal height depending on your workflow and the types of equipment you’ll be using inside the cabinet.
Size Options: Available in 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft widths, this model offers flexibility for labs of all sizes — whether you need a compact unit for individual use or a larger one for multiple users.
