Chemical Laboratory Fume  Hoods

A chemistry lab fume hood is a ventilated enclosure in labs that removes toxic fumes, vapors, and dusts to keep people safe. Air is drawn into the hood and contaminated air exhausted to the exterior of the lab. We have a variety of ducted laboratory fume hoods for every application including benchtop and floor-mounted styles. 

Why Choose Our Laboratory Fume Hoods?

Superior Safety and  Containment

Our chemical exhaust hoods are designed with the utmost priority on safety. Equipped with advanced exhaust systems and robust construction, our fume hoods provide superior containment of hazardous substances, protecting both your personnel and your workspace.

We follow the SEFA Fume Hood Design Guide adhering to all fume hood standards to ensure your receive the safest and most durable product possible and all hoods are UL Listed.

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.
