Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet for Laboratories
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet provides clean, ULPA filtered airflow for laboratory applications where product or sample protection from airborne contamination is required.
Designed to provide ISO Class 4 clean conditions, the cabinet delivers horizontal filtered air across the working area, helping maintain a clean workspace for suitable non-hazardous laboratory processes.
Important: This cabinet is designed for product protection. It is not a fume cupboard and should not be used for hazardous fumes, vapours or applications requiring operator protection.
Need a horizontal laminar flow cabinet for product or sample protection?
Best suited for
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet is best suited for laboratories that need a clean working environment to help protect products, samples or processes from airborne contamination.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Laboratory product protection
- Sample preparation
- Clean air workspaces
- Non-hazardous laboratory processes
- Research and quality control environments
- Applications requiring ISO Class 4 clean conditions
- Applications where horizontal laminar airflow is preferred
- Laboratories needing benchtop or freestanding cabinet options
Product overview
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet provides clean conditions to ISO Class 4 and compliance with BS EN 14644. The cabinet uses ULPA filtered parallel airflow, with filters positioned at the rear of the cabinet to direct clean air horizontally across the working area.
Air is initially drawn through a high-quality EV4 pre-filter to remove larger particulates. It then passes through the fan system before being forced through a U15 ULPA filter, removing 99.9998% of particulates greater than 0.12µm.
Filtered air flows horizontally towards the operator at a velocity of 0.35–0.55m/s, helping prevent room air from flowing back into the working area and supporting a clean, particle-controlled environment for suitable applications.
Product features
- Horizontal laminar airflow — directs clean filtered air across the working area towards the operator.
- ISO Class 4 clean conditions — supports product and sample protection in suitable laboratory applications.
- U15 ULPA filtration — removes 99.9998% of particulates greater than 0.12µm.
- EV4 pre-filter — removes larger particulates before air reaches the main ULPA filter.
- Airflow velocity of 0.35–0.55m/s — helps prevent room air from entering the working area.
- Low energy operation — normal operation starts at just 65 watts.
- Low noise operation — sound levels from 54dB(A) on the largest unit.
- LED lighting as standard — overhead high-intensity LED lighting provides more than 1000 lux.
- Choice of standard widths — available in four standard widths.
- Benchtop or freestanding options — allows the cabinet to be configured around the laboratory space.
- Wide choice of materials and options — allows the cabinet to be tailored to the application.

- low energy operation from 65 watts;
- low noise operation from 54dB(A);
- benchtop and freestanding options;
- available in four standard widths.
Horizontal laminar flow cabinet vs Class II cabinet
Horizontal laminar flow cabinets and Class II cabinets are designed for different applications. A horizontal laminar flow cabinet is primarily used to protect the product or work area from airborne contamination. A Class II cabinet is designed for biological safety applications where operator, product and environmental protection may be required.
Simple comparison
| Horizontal laminar flow cabinet | Class II cabinet |
|---|---|
| Primarily designed for product protection | Designed for operator, product and environmental protection |
| Directs filtered air horizontally across the working area | Uses controlled inward airflow and HEPA filtered exhaust |
| Suitable for non-hazardous product or sample work | Suitable for appropriate biological safety applications |
| Should not be used for hazardous fumes or vapours | Used where biological containment is required |
| No external ductwork required | Configuration depends on cabinet type and application |
| Good where clean air conditions are required | Good where containment and biological safety are required |

Clean airflow and filtration
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet uses a high-quality EV4 pre-filter followed by a U15 ULPA filter to provide clean filtered air across the working area.
The U15 ULPA filter removes 99.9998% of particulates greater than 0.12µm, supporting clean conditions to ISO Class 4 for suitable product protection applications.
Filtered air flows horizontally towards the operator at 0.35–0.55m/s, helping prevent surrounding room air from entering the working area.
Energy efficiency and low noise operation
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet is designed for low energy consumption, with normal operation starting at just 65 watts.
It is also designed for low noise operation, with sound levels from 54dB(A) on the largest unit. Overhead high-intensity LED lighting above 1000 lux is provided as standard to give even illumination of the working area.
Product options and configurations
The Airone Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet is available in a choice of standard widths and can be configured around the available laboratory space and application requirements.
Options include:
- four standard cabinet widths;
- benchtop mounted configuration;
- freestanding configuration;
- wide choice of materials;
- application-specific options;
- project-specific specification support from Safelab.
