Chemical Laboratory Fume  Hoods

A chemistry lab fume hood is a critical safety device designed to protect laboratory personnel by capturing and exhausting hazardous fumes, vapors, and dust before they can be inhaled. Functioning as a ventilated enclosure, the hood draws air away from the user and directs contaminated air safely to the exterior of the building, ensuring a healthier and compliant lab environment. 

At LabSpace Solutions, we offer a full range of ducted laboratory fume hoods engineered for reliability, performance, and ease of use. Available in benchtop and floor-mounted configurations, our hoods are built from heavy-duty steel with chemical-resistant finishes and can be tailored with a variety of liners, utilities, and sash options to meet the specific needs of research, educational, pharmaceutical, or industrial laboratories. Whether you’re outfitting a teaching space or a high-precision research facility, our fume hoods deliver proven protection and seamless integration with your lab’s casework and ventilation systems.

Types of Fume Hoods

Benchtop Fume Hoods

Designed for placement on existing work surfaces, these versatile hoods are ideal for most laboratory applications. They offer flexibility in setup and are suitable for a wide range of chemical processes.

Floor-Mounted Fume Hoods

These larger units extend from floor to ceiling, providing ample space for tall apparatus or equipment. They're particularly useful in industrial settings or for large-scale experiments.

Ductless Fume Hoods

Utilizing advanced filtration systems, these hoods recirculate air back into the lab after purification. They're ideal for situations where external ventilation isn't possible or for mobile lab setups.

Specialty Fume Hoods

Customized for specific applications, these may include radioisotope hoods, perchloric acid hoods, or walk-in hoods for larger equipment or processes.

Industries Using Fume Hoods

1. Pharmaceuticals

Fume hoods are crucial in drug development and testing, protecting researchers from harmful chemical vapors during synthesis and analysis.

2. Biotechnology

Used in genetic engineering and cell culture work, fume hoods maintain sterile environments and contain potentially biohazardous materials.

3. Chemistry

From educational labs to industrial settings, chemists rely on fume hoods for safe handling of volatile compounds and conducting reactions.

4. Education

Schools and universities use fume hoods to teach proper lab safety and conduct experiments in controlled environments.

5. Manufacturing

Various manufacturing processes, particularly in electronics and materials science, require fume hoods for handling solvents and chemicals safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a fume hood be certified?
Fume hoods should be certified annually to ensure proper function and safety. However, some institutions may require more frequent certifications based on usage and regulations.
What face velocity is recommended for a fume hood?
The recommended face velocity typically ranges from 80 to 120 feet per minute (fpm). However, our hoods are certified for face velocities as low as 60 fpm, offering energy efficiency without compromising safety.
Can a fume hood remove all hazardous vapors?
While fume hoods are highly effective, they're not 100% foolproof. Proper use, maintenance, and adherence to safety protocols are essential for maximum protection.
How do I choose the right size fume hood for my lab?
Consider the types of experiments you'll conduct, the size of your equipment, and your lab's available space. Our team can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs.
What's the difference between a fume hood and a biosafety cabinet?
Fume hoods protect users from chemical hazards, while biosafety cabinets are designed to protect the user, the environment, and the product from biological contaminants.
