In a horizontal laminar flow hood, the laminar air flows towards the outside (i.e. towards the worker). There is hence no protection to the worker and it is not suitable for cytotoxic drug preparation.
In a vertical laminar flow hood, the laminar air flows downwards from the top, providing more protection for the workers. Vertical laminar flow hoods are hence suitable for preparing cytotoxic drugs.
