    • Wraparound Version Encloses Table Surface
    • Walkway Version Provides Space to Walk Around the Optical Table

  • Air Quality Monitor (AQM) Continuously Monitors the Enclosure's Air Quality

Thorlabs' Laminar Flow Enclosures are designed to create a clean environment around 1.2 m x 2.0 m (4' x 6') Nexus optical tables by providing an enclosed air volume and filtration system to help minimize contamination. Two varieties of enclosures are available: a wraparound enclosure that minimizes both installation space and the enclosed volume, and a walkway enclosure with a larger perimeter that allows the user to walk around the optical table inside the enclosure. Both systems incorporate an enclosure frame; soft wall transparent curtain sides; an enclosed ceiling; top-mounted HEPA Fan Filter Units (FFU); and an Air Quality Monitor (AQM) that continuously monitors the quality of the air inside the enclosure. The enclosure frames do not touch the enclosed optical tables in order to avoid the transmission of vibrations from the frame to the table.

Laminar Flow Enclosures are
designed in our UK office.

Interested in Custom Capabilities?

Thorlabs is in the process of expanding our offering of Laminar Flow Systems and accessories. If you are interested in features that you don't see here, please contact us to discuss custom requests.


Each enclosure frame includes an LED light strip, which can be added to the interior of the structure to help illuminate the optical table. Additionally, the wraparound enclosure includes an attachable curtain bar with brackets, allowing for the transparent curtain walls to be moved out of the way when working inside the enclosure. If a solid enclosure is desired, Thorlabs offers acrylic panels separately below, which can be used to replace up to three of the soft curtain walls. Furthermore, if more storage space is needed, a shelf unit for laminar flow enclosure frames is also available below. Finally, the enclosure frames are composed of rails that are compatible with our 50 mm & 75 mm construction rail accessories, including T-nuts and screws, mounting brackets and feet, rail joiners, and channel inserts, giving the potential for further customization.

Please note that these enclosures require assembly, a manual process that requires four people to work on at least one of the assembly steps. Each fully assembled enclosure is designed to enclose a Nexus optical table. Tables are not included and must be purchased separately. To view a list of compatible Nexus optical tables, please see the Compatible Tables tab. For full assembly instructions, please view the manual by clicking on the red docs icon (info icon) below. Steps involved in the assembly are depicted in the animation to the right. 

An LED light strip is included with the enclosures. If additional light is needed, the PSY240E LED light strip can be used. It is a 850 mm (33.46") long LED light strip that comes with a 4.3 m extension cord for compatibility with these enclosures.

I would like to inquire regarding the laminar flow enclosures, LFE1220-EU and LFE1220W-EU. 1. Could I request the laminar flow enclosure without the 4 legs as well as the horizontal frames attaching the 4 legs? 2. Could I request the laminar flow enclosure without the enclosure frame? 3. If without the frame and legs, does the fan and filter unit need to be placed at the ceiling? Will the inflow and filtering of air be affected if the fan and filter unit placed at the ceiling? 4. How many people can the 1.2 m x 2.0 m table accommodate? 5. Are there any other sizes available for the laminar flow enclosures so that larger table can be put inside the enclosure? 6. For the LFE1220-EU, do the working staff stretch their hands only into the enclosure for usage?

Hi I have a Nexus 6x4' table with a PTA280 free-standing shelf. I want to know if the laminar flow enclosure (LFE1220-US) will work with the table+shelf system that I have?
cwright  (posted 2022-06-22 05:20:37.0)
Response from Charles at Thorlabs: Thank you for your query. The width of the shelves is 2150 mm while the internal dimensions of the laninar flow enclosure is 2100mm so these would not fit. The top shelf would also be about 20mm from the filter and would block the flow of air.

The system is enclosed by a frame; soft wall transparent curtain sides; a ceiling; and a top-mounted HEPA Fan Filter Unit (FFU). The enclosure frame does not touch the table in order to avoid the transmission of vibrations from the frame to the table. An Air Quality Monitor (AQM) is included and continuously monitors the quality of the air inside the enclosure. An LED light strip is also included with the enclosures. If a solid enclosure is desired, up to three of the transparent curtain sides can be replaced with the acrylic plastic panels sold in kits below. Furthermore, if additional light is needed, the PSY240E LED light strip can be used (sold below).

The HEPA filter units shipped with the enclosures require a voltage of 115 V (-US enclosures) or 230 V (-EU and -UK enclosures). Please note that cables are not provided with the HEPA filter. Assembly and wiring of the filter should be carried out as per local regulations. For more information, please refer to the HEPA manual shipped with each enclosure.

  • Please do not put heavy objects on the roof panels.
  • Maximum load rating applies only when the frame is stationary and is resting on the rubber feet of the casters. When the rubber feet are raised and the frame rests on the caster wheels (i.e. when moving the frame), ensure that no additional loads are attached to the LFE frame.
  • Height is measured from the base of the soft wall transparent curtains.

The Walkway Laminar Flow Enclosures provide an enclosed air volume and filtration system to help minimize contamination for setups built around our Nexus optical tables. While these enclosures can be used with any table that fits inside, they are specifically designed to work with a 1.2 m x 2.0 m (4' x 6') Nexus Optical Table: the enclosure will encompass 625 mm and 525 mm of walkway space on the short and long sides, respectively, of a 1.2 m x 2.0 m table (see drawing to the lower left).

Walkway Space Around a 1.2 m x 2.0 m
Optical Table Inside the Enclosure

The system is enclosed by a frame; soft wall transparent curtain sides; a ceiling; and two top-mounted HEPA Fan Filter Units (FFU). The enclosure frame does not touch the table in order to avoid the transmission of vibrations from the frame to the table. Castors are located at bottom of each leg of the enclosure and provide freedom of movement. Lowering the feet of the enclosure allows it to remain stationary. An Air Quality Monitor (AQM) is included and continuously monitors the quality of the air inside the enclosure. An LED light strip is also included with the enclosures. If additional light is needed, the PSY240E LED light strip can be used (sold below).

The HEPA filter units shipped with the enclosures require a voltage of 115 V (-US enclosures) or 230 V (-EU and -UK enclosures). Please note that cables are not provided with the HEPA filter.
