Fume Hoods
Fume hoods are critical safety devices and the largest users of energy in the lab. Let us help you select the best fume hoods for your needs.
As implied by their name, bench top fume hoods are compact hoods that sit atop a flat surface. These hoods are energy conservative, and may be easily transported from surface to surface, room to room, and site to site. Bench top fume hoods give your laboratory the flexibility to adapt to a workflow that is often changing.
Benchtop
Some research utilizes oversized instruments, which may require a work area spanning above the user to the floor. Floor mounted fume hoods are best for these scenarios and are typically found in research and development industries. These hoods can be fitted with vertical or horizontal-sliding sashes per your needs.
Epoxy resin is a highly durable surface material that provides excellent resistance to heat, moisture, bacteria, and corrosive chemicals. Education labs, industry testing labs, and chemical research labs commonly put this material to use.
Floor Mounted
Ductless
Ductless fume hoods, also referred to as filtered hoods, expel filtered air back to the lab environment. Used air passes through filters such as HEPA or activated carbon filters, before it is recycled to the surroundings. Ductless fume hoods are an energy sustainable alternative to the ducted, or exhaust hood.
These hoods are practical for use with low-risk chemicals as they are easier to certify, and their maintenance is less intricate. Their flexibility can moreover allow you to transport them without requiring full disassembly and an installer to reassemble.
