How It's Used
- Assemble the hood — about 15 minutes using the included video and printed instructions.
- Power on and let the HEPA-filtered air run for a few minutes to establish a steady laminar flow before starting work.
- Position your agar plates, jars, or syringes inside the sterile air curtain at the front of the work surface.
- Perform transfers, pours, or inoculations within the airflow zone, keeping hands and tools inside the curtain.
- Store the spare filter in its packaging until airflow drops or the installed filter reaches the end of its 3–5 year service life, then swap it in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the standard HEPAFLOW-12C?
Same 12"×12" hood — this bundle also includes a second HEPA filter (a $100+ value) as a ready spare for when your installed filter reaches the end of its service life. See the standard HEPAFLOW-12C if you don't need the extra filter.
How do I know when to swap in the spare filter?
Watch for a noticeable drop in airflow, or plan to swap it in once the installed filter reaches the typical 3–5 year lifespan under normal use.
Is assembly difficult?
No — it's a tool-free assembly that takes about 15 minutes, with both video and printed instructions included.
I need a bigger work surface — what are my options?
For a larger sterile zone, step up to the Bonsai XL 24″×18″, or for commercial/multi-person use the Bonsai Commercial 48″×24″.
What's the warranty and return policy?
This unit carries a 3-year motor warranty. Unopened units are eligible for return; opened units are eligible for exchange only, and shipping damage is handled promptly. Ships via FedEx directly from the U.S.-based manufacturer.
