Raising Your Standards With Esco Downflow Booth Airflow Containment On Its Best

Maintaining operator safety during the handling of toxic or sensitizing materials requires a sophisticated approach to airflow management. Downflow booths address this by delivering HEPA-filtered air directly to the Operator’s Breathing Zone (OBZ), effectively suppressing dust clouds and directing contaminants into specialized exhaust systems. This vertical laminar flow creates a high-velocity containment zone, ensuring hazardous particles do not migrate upward.

While standard configurations manage Operator Exposure Levels (OELs) effectively, integrating physical barriers like high-containment screens can further reduce exposure to levels as low as 10 \mu g/m^3. These ergonomic screens allow for full range of motion while maintaining a strict physical separation between the technician and the product. For facilities prioritizing cGMP compliance and workflow flexibility, customized airlocks and workstations ensure that contamination remains isolated from the surrounding warehouse environment.
