LF - Laminar Flow - laminar flow
Explanation:
LF = laminar flow

LF = laminar flow

Blood flow exerts shear stress (mechanical drag) on
vascular endothelium. Regions of the arterial tree with
uniform geometry are exposed to unidirectional, undisturbed
laminar flow (LF), which exerts high shear
stress, whereas arches and branches are exposed to
disturbed flow (DF), which exerts low shear.

What is a Laminar Flow Cabinet?
A laminar flow cabinet or laminar flow hood or tissue culture hood is a carefully enclosed bench designed to prevent contamination of semiconductor wafers, biological samples, or any particle sensitive device. Air is drawn through a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter and blown in a very smooth, laminar flow towards the user or towards the work surface. The cabinet is usually made of stainless steel with no gaps
or joints where spores might collect.
*Laminar flow cabinets do not protect the user or the environment and cannot be used with infectious material.

The most important requirements for the premises in which toxin is to be produced are that they should be clean, comfortable to work in, have control of temperature and humidity include all the essential facilities, and have built-in safety measures against hazards such as contamination. The lighting should be such that all equipment can be seen and operated
without difficulty. It is advisable that the laboratories should be supplied with filtered air or that work should be done in laminar flow cabinets that are monitored regularly to ensure that they are operating correctly. It should be stressed, however, that the use of laminar flow cabinets does not obviate the need for a high standard of microbiological technique.

agree  SJLD: yes, good German words like "Fingerprints" though I guess it's short for Laminarfluss too ;-)
