The Commercial Series is Bonsai's flagship 4' x 2' horizontal laminar flow hood, built for labs that have outgrown a still air box or a smaller hood. A 48" x 24" H14 HEPA filter pushes a wide, even curtain of clean air across the bench, so you can run grain-to-grain transfers, pour agar and work two people side by side.

Bonsai has built over 4,000 flow hoods since 2019, including custom units for research labs. Each Commercial Series hood leaves the shop 99% assembled and wired by a certified electrician, so setup takes about five minutes.

Why labs choose the Commercial Series

True laminar flow

Hundreds of aluminum separators in the deep pleated glass-microfiber filter keep the airflow straight and even across the full 4' bench, so particles are carried away from your work.

Room to work

A 4' wide clean zone fits a full row of jars, bags or plates, and leaves space for two people to work at once without crowding the airflow.

Built to last

A CNC-cut cabinet in 3/4" cabinet-grade plywood, threaded metal inserts for filter changes and silicone-sealed joints keep the hood tight and quiet for years.

What you can do with it

Grain transfers

Expand colonized grain into fresh jars or bags without exposing it to room air.

Agar work

Pour plates, take clean transfers and isolate the strongest sectors.

Cloning

Take tissue samples from fruit bodies with a clean field in front of you.

Syringes and LC

Load spore syringes and liquid culture with a far lower contamination risk.

Setting it up

1Receive the pallet

The freight carrier calls ahead to set a delivery window. Inspect the crate before signing.

2Finish assembly

The hood arrives 99% built. Final assembly takes about five minutes.

3Run it first

Switch it on and let it run 15 to 30 minutes before each session to clear the work area.

4Work in the flow

Keep your hands and tools downstream of your cultures, never between the filter and the work.

When to replace the filter. Plan on about 24 months for a hobby lab and 12 to 18 months for a busy one. A particle meter tells you when the filter is due instead of guessing.

Ships by freight. This hood travels on a pallet by freight truck. Leave a phone number at checkout, since the carrier will call to schedule delivery. Other items in your order ship separately by UPS Ground. Free local pickup is available by appointment; contact us before you come.

Common questions

What does H14 HEPA mean?

H14 is a HEPA class that captures at least 99.995% of particles at 0.3 micron, the size that is hardest for a filter to stop. Mold spores and bacteria are generally larger, so they are caught as well.

How is this different from a fan filter unit?

A fan filter unit is a slim steel housing with the blower and HEPA filter in one box, and it works well for most home growers. The Commercial Series is a wood cabinet with a separate Dayton blower, pre-filter and deep pleated HEPA filter, built for a wide work zone and long sessions in a busy lab.

How much assembly is required?

Very little. The hood ships 99% assembled and wired by a certified electrician, and the final assembly takes about five minutes.

How long does the HEPA filter last?

Plan on about 24 months for a hobby lab and 12 to 18 months for a busy one. Replacing the pre-filter regularly helps the main filter last longer.

How does freight delivery work?

The hood ships on a pallet by freight truck. The carrier will call to set a delivery window, so include a phone number with your order. Anything else you order ships separately by UPS Ground.

Can I pick it up instead?

Yes. Free local pickup is available by appointment. Contact us ahead of time to schedule a day and time.

What warranty does it have?

The blower motor is covered by a 3-year warranty.

Wish I bought one sooner

Wow beyond impressed with my order! After doing weeks of research and planning to build one of these on my own, I ended up pulling the trigger on a Bonsai. Blowers with the right CFM ratings that fit this size are out of stock everywhere or the ones that are in stock are $500-$600+. I decided to save myself the weekend and headaches of building one my own and I am glad I did! The build quality is better than anticipated. Clearly Bonsai is using some high end cabinet making machinery to build these.

I looked around at other smaller sellers on Etsy and Ebay and the lead time is like 5-6 weeks to maybe save $100-$150 max. I ordered one on Thursday 3/16/23 and was delivered on Wednesday 3/22/23, that is jaw-dropping fast for a freight company called RoadRunner that I never heard of. Hats off to everyone, I am beyond pleased and already put 5 hours of time on this baby! Og forgot to mention, its super easy to assemble also! like 10 mins and I was up and running! -Peace!

Great hood. Ordered Sunday, got shipping notice Tuesday and delivered by Friday! Less than 6 days! Outstandning build quality and packed nicely on a skid. Delivered to my garage. Assembly was simple, just needed two people to bring it in the house!

Ordered Monday night, shipped on Wednesday received on Friday to East Coast! Can't beat that for a flow hood of this size and finish! I was able to get this up and running in about 15 mins. No electrical wiring! With a friend we unwrapped this, installed the prefilter cabinet, popped in the pre-filter and 4 screws later it was purring like a cat! I have no doubt this works as advertised, seen many reviews on Bonsai's hoods and they all get great reviews. You can tell this was made by true professionals. I am a contractor and I know quality when I see it. All the edges are routed on a CNC machine, the face frame has to be made on a large CNC CAD. These guys are no amateurs!

Cons:

Ordered 12/14 and received in Cali on 12/20! FedEx freight called me to give me delivery window and was actually on time. They delivered to my garage. I was worried it would not fit through the door but it fit and was easy for my wife and I do unpack and set up. I have been running this hood for about 10 days now and all my agar transfers are clean! Can't beat the price and delivery time for a flowhood of this size.

Also want to note that there is no electrical wiring required! Very nice!

Been using a Bonsai 12" flowhood for 2 years and finally am gettting the big boy hood I always wanted. I tell you the quality keeps getting better with these units. I've shopped around for 6 months and I can't find anything price-wise that compares without buying a used one. I LOVE THE 1-PIECE FACE FRAME!! Filter changing will be super easy! 5 stars!!
