Mycology Fume Hood

Mycology is a broad field that goes beyond medical and pharmaceutical research. Mycologists also work in the food and beverage industry as well as agricultural and environmental industries. Laminar flow hoods ensure mushroom cultures on the work surface are protected from airborne contaminants. Protecting plant cultures or mushroom cultures using laminar flow hoods during farming, agricultural, or mycology applications helps create a more controlled growth condition, prevent cultivation failure, and bring more varieties of healthy foods to consumers.

Yet protection for mushroom and plant cultures is not the only important safety consideration in farming. Farmers can develop certain breathing conditions when exposed to dangerous spores released by certain mushroom species or molds found on some plants. Biological safety cabinets provide the highest level of protection.
