(laminar flow) hood

There are various different types of hoods used in chemistry/mol.biol.

A Fume Hood is used to extract harmful vapours when working with dangerous chemicals.

A Laminal Flow Hood is used for bacterial containment, and avoiding contamination of other biological samples.

The former uses a simple straight forward suction system to remove harmful vapours, the latter uses a complex air flow structure to keep nasties in/out depending on the actual application.

Also known as "Laminar flow cabinet"
Example sentence:

20 years cell biology experience.
