The clean bench provides product (Usually biological specimen) protection by ensuring that the work in the bench is exposed only to HEPA-filtered air.
- The clean bench is recommended for work with non-hazardous materials where clean, particle-free air quality is required.
- It does not provide protection to personnel or to the ambient environment.
- It is not designed to contain aerosols generated by the procedure; the user is exposed to these aerosols
The laminar flow clean bench is a work bench or similar enclosure which has its own filtered air supply. The clean bench was developed as an adjunct to clean room technology (the need to protect the work from contamination). In recent years, the use of the clean bench has spread from research and manufacturing to other fields such as aerospace, bioscience, pharmaceutical production and food processing.
Today, laminar flow clean benches are used in a variety of applications throughout medical research laboratories, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and other research and production environments.
