Chemo therapy agents should always be prepared in a vertical flow hood because it provides a controlled and sterile environment. Vertical flow hoods have a downward laminar airflow, which helps to prevent contamination and maintain a clean workspace. This is crucial when handling chemotherapy agents, as they can be hazardous and require strict precautions to protect both the pharmacist and the patient.
