Description
Description
The Myco Labs 23" × 23" HEPA Fan Filter Unit (FFU) puts H14 HEPA laminar airflow wherever you need it: stand it on a bench as a flow hood, drop it into a standard 24" ceiling grid for a clean room, or mount it on a wall for a dedicated clean-air station.
Air passes through a washable magnetic pre-filter, then an H14 HEPA filter rated 99.995% at 0.3 microns for ISO Class 5 / Class 100 clean air. A three-speed knob sets the airflow, and it runs off a standard 110V outlet.

What's inside the Myco Labs FFU
Rated 99.995% at 0.3 microns, the grade cleanrooms use for ISO Class 5 / Class 100 air. A honeycomb mesh protects the filter face.
Turn the knob from Low to High (0.3 / 0.45 / 0.65 m/s). Six safety latches lock the fan housing to the filter box, and side handles make it easy to move.
A magnetic pre-filter on the back catches dust and larger particles before they reach the HEPA. Pull it off and rinse it to extend HEPA filter life.
How to set it up as a flow hood
On a bench the FFU works like a horizontal laminar flow hood: clean air blows from the filter face across your work area and toward you.
Set it upright on a sturdy table with the HEPA face toward you and a few inches of open space behind the pre-filter.
Connect the cord to a standard 110V outlet and turn the knob to the speed you want.
Run it for a few minutes and wipe the work surface with alcohol before you open anything.
Keep plates, jars and bags between the filter and your hands, and never reach over an open plate.
Raise your work into the airflow: the cleanest air is straight out of the middle of the filter face. A stainless steel workspace riser lifts plates and jars up to it.
One unit, three ways to install it
Benchtop: works as a flow hood
At 22.8" square, the Myco Labs FFU drops into a standard 24" × 24" ceiling tile grid, the same way FFUs are installed in commercial clean rooms. That makes it as useful for building out a grow lab as it is on a single workbench.
- Tabletop flow hood for agar and transfers
- Ceiling grid for a modular clean room
- Wall-mounted clean-air station
A flow hood is a fan, filter and cabinet built for one bench. An FFU is the fan and filter in one box, so it can go on a bench or into a ceiling.
Our flow hood vs FFU guide compares both.

When to replace the HEPA filter
There's no single expiry date for a HEPA filter. It wears out two ways: dust loading, which tracks run hours and how clean your room is, and aging of the media and gasket seals, which tracks the calendar. Plan on about 24 months for typical hobby use and 12–18 months in a busy lab. Keep it in service as long as it passes an agar plate test and holds its airflow, and replace it sooner if it doesn't.
Our HEPA filter replacement guide explains each row of the chart and walks through four simple tests (agar plates, a flame test, an anemometer reading and a pre-filter check) that tell you when your filter is actually done.
FAQ
Can I use it as a flow hood on a table?
Yes. Stand it upright on a bench with the HEPA face toward you and it works like a horizontal laminar flow hood for agar, liquid culture and inoculations.
Will it fit in a drop ceiling?
Yes. The unit is 22.8" square and fits standard 24" × 24" ceiling tile grids, like the FFUs in commercial clean rooms.
What HEPA filter does it use?
An H14 HEPA filter rated 99.995% efficient at 0.3 microns, for ISO Class 5 / Class 100 clean air.
Can I wash the HEPA filter?
No. HEPA filters should never be washed. Only the magnetic pre-filter on the back is washable; rinsing it regularly keeps dust off the HEPA so it lasts longer.
How often should I replace the HEPA filter?
For typical hobby use, plan on replacing it about every 24 months; in a busy lab running most of the day, every 12–18 months; and in a dusty, round-the-clock space, every 6–12 months. Some manufacturers recommend replacing as often as every 12 months, because filter media and seals age even when the unit isn't running. Treat 24 months as a planning number, and let an agar plate test and an airflow check tell you when it's actually done. Our HEPA filter replacement guide has the full chart and four simple tests. Replacement filters for this unit are sold separately.
How loud is it, and how much power does it use?
About 55, 60 and 65 dB on low, medium and high, drawing 145, 165 and 185 watts. It plugs into a standard 110V outlet.
How is it different from the Bonsai 2' × 2' FFU?
Both use H14 HEPA filters and washable magnetic pre-filters. The Myco Labs unit is 22.8" square to fit 24" ceiling grids and reaches about 128 FPM on high; the Bonsai is 25" square and 14" deep, built for benchtop use, with 100–120 FPM speeds.
