What are the advantages of a horizontal flow table?Although the horizontal flow table is not as widely used as the vertical flow table in the microbiology laboratory and other scenarios, it also has its unique advantages, as follows:Airflow stability Smooth horizontal airflow: The airflow of the horizontal flow table passes through the working area evenly in the horizontal direction, which can form a stable and parallel airflow, which can provide a suitable environment for experimental operation or processes sensitive to air disturbance. For example, when conducting microbial single-cell separation or microfluidic experiments, the smooth airflow of the horizontal flow table can avoid excessive impact and disturbance on tiny cells or fluids, which helps to improve the success rate and accuracy of the experiment. Convenience of operation Open operating space: the horizontal flow table usually has no shelter in front, and the operation space is open, which is convenient for the operator to easily extend the arm and experimental equipment into the workbench for various operations. When the operation of large microbial culture equipment, complex microbial inoculation, or observation requires large operating space and flexibility, the operator can more easily adjust the posture and operating Angle to improve work efficiency. Easy equipment placement: The workbench can easily place experimental equipment, instruments, and petri dishes of various sizes and shapes, and will not cause significant obstruction to the airflow. For example, when conducting microbial fermentation experiments, large equipment such as fermenters can be placed in the horizontal flow table, and good air circulation can still be maintained around the equipment to ensure that the fermentation process is carried out in a clean environment. cost-effectiveness Lower manufacturing costs: Compared with the vertical flow table, the structure of the horizontal flow table is relatively simple, the materials and processes required in the design and manufacturing process are relatively less, and the manufacturing cost is low. This allows some laboratories or small enterprises with limited budgets to obtain a working environment that meets basic cleaning needs at a lower cost, which is conducive to promotion and application. Low operating costs: The fan power of the horizontal flow table is generally relatively small, the energy consumption during operation is low, its maintenance is relatively simple, and the maintenance cost is also low. After long-term use, it can save certain operation and maintenance costs for the laboratory. Heat dissipation performance Effective heat dissipation: For some experimental equipment or instruments that generate heat during operation, the horizontal airflow of the horizontal flow table can better take away the heat and play a good heat dissipation effect. For example, when using a microscope to observe microbial samples for a long time, the lamp and other parts of the microscope will generate heat, and the horizontal airflow can dissipate the heat in time to avoid overheating the equipment affecting the observation effect and service life, and also help to maintain the temperature stability of the working area, providing a suitable environment for microbial experiments. |
