Fume Hoods

Fume hoods are ventilated enclosures designed to protect laboratory personnel from hazardous fumes, vapors, and particulates by maintaining controlled airflow and exhausting contaminated air safely away from the breathing zone. As the primary engineering control in chemical, pharmaceutical, and biological laboratories, a properly specified fume hood is critical for operator safety and regulatory compliance.

Core Advantages & Specifications:

• Ducted and ductless models available for flexible installation across different facility types

• Face velocity 0.3–0.6 m/s with digital airflow monitoring and audible/visual low-flow alarms

• ASHRAE 110, EN 14175, and SEFA-1 certified performance with factory containment testing

• Chemical-resistant interiors: epoxy resin, phenolic, PP, or 304/316 stainless steel liner options

• Vertical, horizontal, or combination sash with 5mm tempered safety glass

• VAV (variable air volume) compatible designs for energy-efficient facility operation

FAQ

Q: Ducted or ductless fume hood — which should I choose?

A: Ducted hoods vent contaminants directly outside and are required for high-toxicity or unknown chemical work. Ductless hoods use carbon or HEPA filtration and work well for light chemical handling where external ducting infrastructure is not available.
