Which type of workbench is better for microbiology LABS?In the microbiology laboratory, the vertical flow table and the horizontal flow table have applications, relatively speaking, the vertical flow table is more advantageous and more suitable for the microbiology laboratory, for the main reasons as follows:Better protection: Prevent cross-contamination: The airflow of the vertical flow table flows vertically from the top to the bottom, which can form an effective isolation barrier between the operator and the experiment sample, and can quickly discharge the aerosol, microorganisms, and other pollutants generated during the experiment process downward, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between the operator and the sample and between different samples. It is very important to prevent the contamination of microorganisms and ensure the accuracy of experimental results. Protect the operator: For some potentially harmful microbial experiments, the vertical downward airflow can prevent the spread of microorganisms to the operator, and better protect the safety of the operator. Higher cleanliness: The vertical flow table can usually provide ISO level 4 air cleanliness in the working area, which is more effective in removing dust particles and microorganisms, and can provide a more stable and reliable sterile environment for microbial experiments, meeting the strict requirements of environmental cleanliness for microbial experiments. Various applicable operations: Microbial experiments often involve a variety of operations, such as inoculation, culture, observation, etc., and need to place a variety of experimental instruments and samples on the workbench. The spatial layout of the vertical flow table is relatively more flexible, and the airflow will not cause too much interference to the operation when the operator operates on the table, which is convenient for complex experimental operations. In line with experimental habits: microbial experiments are generally carried out on the workbench, and the airflow direction of the vertical flow workbench is perpendicular to the operating direction, and will not blow directly to the face of the experimental personnel, which reduces the discomfort of the airflow to the experimental personnel and is more in line with the operating habits of the experimental personnel. However, in some specific microbial experiment scenarios, if there are special requirements for the airflow direction, or the experimental operation is relatively simple and the protection requirements for the operator are not high, the horizontal flow table can also play a certain role. |
