Title: Introduction to the hood
Course: BTEC-1200-301-302-303-F21 > Section: Aseptic Technique

We often use a laminar flow hood when working aseptically. We always use a hood when doing cell culture which you will explore after this module. A laminar flow hood is a simple instrument that uses fans and filters to create a sterile environment to work in. It is designed to protect your samples from any contaminants that may be in the outside environment.

Remember: The next step is to come into the lab to practice with the materials, view a demonstration, or to even just ask questions. Also, if you are ready to take the lab final, please inform your instructor. The lab final will be performed by yourself and will be graded with a rubric.

Learning Objectives:

- 1.7 - Complete an aseptic test in the hood.
