Medical - Medical: Instruments / Medicine characteristics
Dutch term or phrase: LAF-kast / LAF kast
In a report on how to use a certain medicine:

'Bij het gebruik van de 5 g/100 ml flacon dient een aseptische werkwijze (gebruik van LAF-kast) strikt te worden gehanteerd.'

What does 'LAF' stand for and what type of safety cabinet is it? What would be the English (UK) name for it?

Many thanks in advance!
