Understanding Laboratory Fume Hoods: How They Work and Why They’re Essential for Lab Safety
A laboratory fume hood is an enclosure with built-in ventilation that can capture, contain, and safely expel harmful airborne materials. Fume hoods are essential in removing dangerous vapors, fumes, and dust that might be released during laboratory experiments or manufacturing procedures and prevents the release of these vapors to protect staff and the lab itself.
Fume hoods play a vital role in allowing the safe handling of hazardous substances in the lab, serving to contain and ventilate anything airborne that might cause harm. Proper installation and use of fume hoods serve to protect lab personnel and ensure compliance with laboratory safety regulations.
How Do Laboratory Fume Hoods Work?
Fume hoods are enclosures that draw air and harmful fumes away from the user. Different fume hood designs direct the harmful fumes differently after they are pulled safely from the workstation. Ducted fume hoods may direct the air outdoors through ducts, while ductless fume hoods may cycle filtered air back into the room.
Discover the Right Laboratory Fume Hoods & Accessories for Your Needs
There are several types of fume hoods to choose from, such as standard, high-efficiency, ductless, and even large floor-mounted fume hoods. Each one has unique features tailored to different laboratory workflows and hazard levels.
The best choice will depend on the type of work that is conducted in your laboratory and the scope of hazardous fumes that might be released by your work. Fume hood design may also need to align with the structural design of your building to ensure efficient air redirection.
Basic Laboratory Fume Hoods
Basic laboratory fume hoods are an affordable and reliable option suitable for general lab use. These are typically ideal for labs with standard safety requirements and light duty applications where safe ventilation is required. They are cost-effective, easy to install, and meet basic safety needs for your standard lab design.
Premium Laboratory Fume Hoods
Premier laboratory fume hoods offer advanced features suitable for labs with higher safety requirements. They offer superior durability and provide opportunities for customization. Premier fume hoods give laboratories access to enhanced protection design, advanced airflow control, and customizable features that adapt to the unique needs of a more advanced laboratory.
High-Efficiency Laboratory Fume Hoods
High-efficiency fume hood models offer superior airflow control and minimize energy consumption at the same time. These are ideal for labs looking to reduce operating costs or meet sustainability standards while still maintaining a high degree of safety and laboratory compliance standards.
Standard Laboratory Fume Hoods
Standard laboratory fume hoods are reliable and built for safe handling of chemicals in most lab environments. They are versatile and easy to use. The standard models are suitable for a wide range of industries and meet the need for fume hood protection for the majority of lab operations.
Fiberglass Laboratory Fume Hoods
Fiberglass fume hoods are compact and are ideal for small working spaces. These hoods are suitable for general chemistry applications. The fiberglass liner is corrosion-resistant, durable, fire-resistant and light reflective. The smooth one-piece molded construction offers fewer crevices for easy cleaning.
Laboratory Fume Hood Base Cabinets
For every fume hood, it’s important to plan for the base cabinet. Fume hood base cabinets provide specialized storage solutions for storing your chemicals or equipment safely under the fume hood compartment. They offer additional storage, durable construction, and are optimized for compatibility with fume hoods to create a complete workstation.
Laboratory Fume Hood Bundles
Fume hood bundles make it easy to assemble a complete and secure fume hood system workstation. The bundle includes a fume hood, a compatible base cabinet, and accessories that naturally complement the workflows that call for fume hood protection. Each bundle provides a turnkey solution for quick, easy, and comprehensive lab setup. We strive to ensure easy installation and cost-effective bundle solutions.
