Aura Mini

Compact desktop cabinet with vertical laminar flow and switchable barrier mode

895 mm size, with active PCR configuration

The Aura Mini is BioAir’s compact vertical laminar flow desk cabinet to protect sensitive samples and products in space-constrained labs, with two air barrier modes adapting the installation to routine aseptic surgery and PCR sample preparation.

The cabinet forms a downstream flow through HEPA H14 and can operate with an inward or outward-facing air barrier. Depending on the configuration, 70% of the air returns to the work area, and 30% passes through the Filtrete filter or prefilter. The work surface and back wall of AISI 304 are removed for cleaning; the front and side panels are made The control panel controls the fan, lighting and optional UV lamp, and the counter captures the performance, and the manufacturer plans to configure the active PCR box to reduce DNA transfer.

Power: 220–230 V, 50/60 Hz; fan and lighting consumption 200 W. External dimensions 850×590×820 mm; working zone 735×420×480 mm; weight 65 kg. Average laminar-flow speed 0.37–0.43 m/s; intake barrier speed 0.2 m/s ±10%; exhaust airflow 100 m³/h ±10%. Working-area cleanliness ISO 3 under EN 14644-1; illumination >750 lux; noise <65 dB(A). The main H14 filter under EN 1822-1 has 99.995% overall MPPS efficiency; the Filtrete filter captures more than 99% of 3 µm particles.

Product details

Aura Mini Laminar Desktop Clothing

compact case 850×590×820 mm

Work area and control panel

Removable perforated AISI 304 work surface

Flexible flow configuration

Internal Barrier Mode: Air is returned to the work area (70%) through the main HEPA filter, 30% is removed through the Filtrete filter - enhanced product protection and content
External barrier mode: air passes through Filtrete prefilter and main HEPA into the work area, 30% is removed through the front opening - maximum product protection
In the internal barrier mode, the cabinet can be used as an active PCR box to reduce DNA transfer.

Construction and maintenance

Removable perforated work surface and rear camera wall from AISI 304
Front and side panels made of tempered glass with a thickness of 5 mm
Exterior surfaces – cold-rolled steel with antimicrobial epoxy coating
Centrifugal fan with digital inverter for optimal performance
