Description
The Bonsai XL 24" × 18" Horizontal Laminar Flow Hood – Version 2.0 is built for serious cultivators and lab professionals who need significantly more sterile workspace without stepping up to full commercial cabinetry. Its 24"×18" H14 HEPA filter delivers true horizontal laminar airflow across a work surface more than 200% larger than a standard 12"×12" personal hood.
Use it for grain-to-grain transfers, agar pours, spore syringes, inoculating jars, bags, and substrate blocks — with enough room for two people to work side-by-side under sterile airflow.

How It's Used
- Assemble the hood using the tool-free Turn-N-Click system — about 15 minutes.
- Power on and let the HEPA-filtered air run for a few minutes to establish a steady laminar flow before starting work.
- Position agar plates, jars, spawn, or substrate within the wide sterile zone — there's room for a second person to work alongside you.
- Perform transfers, pours, or inoculations within the airflow zone, keeping hands and tools inside the curtain.
- Power off after use. Replace the HEPA filter every 3–5 years under normal use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much bigger is this than the 12"×12" hoods?
The 24"×18" filter gives a work surface more than 200% larger than a standard 12"×12" personal hood like the HEPAFLOW-12C — useful for higher-volume work or working alongside a second person.
Can two people work at the hood at the same time?
Yes — the wider work surface is sized to let two people work side-by-side under the same sterile airflow.
How does this compare to the Commercial 48"×24" hood?
The XL is a benchtop upgrade at 24"×18" with free ground shipping. The Commercial 48"×24" is Bonsai's largest and most popular commercial size, built for serious home or commercial lab setups and shipped by freight.
Is assembly difficult?
No — it uses a tool-free Turn-N-Click assembly system and is ready to use in about 15 minutes.
What's the warranty and return policy?
This unit carries a 3-year motor warranty and ships free within the continental USA. Unopened units are eligible for return; opened units are eligible for exchange only, and shipping damage is handled promptly.
