Geneva Scientific supplies Esco laminar flow hoods to universities, research labs, and industrial facilities across the U.S., providing application guidance, quoting support, and coordination for installation when required.
Applications & Typical Use Cases
The Esco LHS-3BS-F9 Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench is designed for laboratory and industrial applications that require a particle-free, sterile work zone for non-hazardous materials.
Common applications include:
- Plant Tissue Culture & Cell Preparation
Provides a consistently clean airflow environment to protect sensitive cultures from particulate contamination during handling and transfer. - Media Preparation & Plate Pouring
Ensures sterility during routine laboratory workflows where product protection is critical, but operator protection is not required. - Electronics Inspection & Assembly
Minimizes airborne particles during inspection, assembly, and testing of precision electronic components. - Medical Device & Component Assembly
Supports controlled, clean conditions for non-hazardous device assembly and inspection processes.
Key Features & Benefits
The LHS-3BS-F9 combines Esco’s engineering expertise with energy-efficient operation and ergonomic design to support long-term laboratory use.
- ULPA Filtration for Superior Cleanliness
Achieves ISO Class 4 air quality, providing a cleaner work zone than standard HEPA-filtered laminar flow cabinets. - Energy-Efficient ECM Motor Technology
Reduces power consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional AC motor systems, helping lower operating costs over time. - Low-Noise Operation
Operates at approximately 54.5 dBA, improving user comfort and reducing fatigue during extended laboratory procedures. - Ergonomic, ADA-Compliant Control Panel
Centrally located and angled for easy access and visibility, supporting safer and more comfortable daily operation. - ISOCIDE™ Antimicrobial Powder Coating
Silver-ion impregnated finish inhibits microbial growth on exterior surfaces to support laboratory hygiene.
How This Laminar Flow Hood Compares to Other Options
Horizontal laminar flow clean benches like the Esco LHS-3BS-F9 are ideal when product protection is the primary requirement, and no hazardous vapors, gases, or biological agents are present.
Compared to other laminar flow hoods, this model offers:
- Higher filtration efficiency through ULPA filtration
- Lower energy consumption and operating noise
- Enhanced ergonomic design for daily laboratory use
For applications requiring operator or environmental protection, other containment solutions such as biosafety cabinets or ductless fume hoods may be more appropriate. Geneva Scientific can help evaluate your application to ensure the correct equipment is specified.
