BBS-H1800 Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods: a high-performance solution for protecting samples in laboratories
The BBS-H1800 horizontal laminar flow hood from BIOBASE is a piece of equipment designed exclusively for protecting samples in a clean and controlled working environment. This model is based on the principle of unidirectional air flow: ambient air is drawn in, filtered through a washable polyester fibre pre-filter and then through a high-efficiency HEPA filter, and blown evenly onto the work surface, creating a particle-free zone. This technology prevents any external contamination of the samples being handled, which is essential in sensitive fields such as microbiology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and precision electronics.
The BBS-H1800 stands out thanks to its generous dimensions (1800×820×2070 mm externally) and spacious internal work area (1700×500×570 mm), offering users optimal handling comfort. The work surface, located at an ergonomic height of 750 mm, is made of 304 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance, durability and ease of maintenance. The main body is made of cold-rolled steel with an antibacterial powder coating, ensuring enhanced hygiene and increased longevity of the unit.
The user benefits from a clear LCD display for real-time monitoring of operating parameters. The air speed is maintained at an average of between 0.3 and 0.5 m/s, ensuring smooth and stable circulation without turbulence, while keeping noise levels below 65 dB, ideal for a peaceful working environment. The motorised front window can be opened up to 430 mm, facilitating access to the workstation while providing a physical barrier when necessary.
The equipment is equipped with a 16W double LED lamp, ensuring uniform lighting, and a 30W UV lamp emitting at 253.7 nanometres, allowing effective sterilisation of the work surface before and after each use. Two waterproof electrical sockets are integrated into the structure for connecting auxiliary devices while limiting electrical risks. A gas tap and a water tap, exclusive to the BBS-H1800 model, complete this package.
For mobility, the hood is mounted on universal castors with levelling feet, making it easy to move while ensuring perfect stability once installed. The power supply is compatible with voltages of 220V ±10% at 50/60 Hz or 110V ±10% at 60 Hz, ensuring great flexibility of use according to local standards. With a power consumption of 500W and a gross weight of 328 kg, the BBS-H1800 model combines robustness, performance and reliability.
For added flexibility, an electrically height-adjustable stand is available as an option, providing additional comfort for the user during long working sessions.
