[DIYbio] Re: practical laminar flow benches

The mushroom and plant tissue culturing communities have lots of good DIY laminar flow hood designs. Here's two great guides:

Yes, that would be a great thing to discuss.  Usually does not get much air time here though.

I have plans to make a shippable some-assembly-required laminar flow bench without a
ducted building exhaust as a product and include a particle counting method with it -- for cheap.
The particle counting is the essence of doing something research worthy with it, so you can qualify it for use
for a purpose and predict whether particles will land on your Petri dish for example.

So -- any suggestions on particle count estimators for qualifying HEPA filtration statistics?
I know the providers of filters say they test them by spraying the outside or intake side with glass sphere
dust, then count after collecting for a time at the output side.  Anyone seen that done?  Know what's needed?

Do they work like a spectrometer to figure out particle size as in the blueness of small smoke particles?
Are they based on digital camera CCD chips, or CMOS camera chips?
