Laboratory Fume Hoods

Fume Hoods DTC

Ducted Fume Exhaust Hoods, manufactured by Advanced Extraction Labs, offer maximum protection to operators as well as the application by removing harmful particulates and fumes that could be released.

Table Top Fume Hoods

Tabletop fume hoods offer a compact solution for removing harmful fumes and vapors from smaller workspaces. They are ideal for applications like soldering, light chemical work, and resin 3D printing.

Laminar Fume Hoods

Laminar flow hoods provide a sterile work environment by filtering air through HEPA filters. They are essential for processes that require protection from airborne contaminants, such as tissue culture, electronics assembly, or mycology.

Bio Safety Cabinets

Biosafety cabinets are essential for working with microorganisms or potentially hazardous biological materials. They use HEPA filtration to protect the user, the environment, and the samples from contamination.

Understanding Fume Hoods: Types, Differences, and Benefits

At Advanced Extraction Labs, we understand that safety and efficiency in your lab environment are paramount. Fume hoods are essential for protecting personnel from hazardous fumes, vapors, and particles. In this guide, we explore the different types of fume hoods available, their unique features, and the benefits they offer.

1. Ductless Fume Hoods

Overview: Ductless fume hoods, also known as recirculating fume hoods, do not require external ventilation. Instead, they filter the air through HEPA or activated carbon filters and return it to the lab.
Benefits:
- Flexibility: Ideal for labs without access to ductwork.
- Energy Efficient: Reduces energy costs by recirculating air rather than exhausting it outside.
- Portability: Can be easily moved or repositioned within the lab.

2. Tabletop Fume Hoods

Overview: Tabletop fume hoods are compact units designed to sit on lab benches. They provide localized protection for small-scale operations.
Benefits:
- Space-Saving Design: Perfect for labs with limited space.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than larger fume hoods.
- Enhanced Safety: Protects users during procedures that generate hazardous vapors.

3. Biosafety Cabinets

Overview: Biosafety cabinets are specialized enclosures designed to provide a sterile environment while protecting users and the surrounding environment from biological agents.
Benefits:
- Microbiological Protection: Essential for handling pathogens or biohazardous materials.
- Airflow Control: Maintains a controlled airflow to prevent contamination.
- HEPA Filtration: Ensures high-efficiency particulate air filtration for superior safety.

4. Laminar Flow Hoods

Overview: Laminar flow hoods provide a clean and sterile environment by directing a continuous flow of filtered air over the work surface, protecting sensitive samples from contamination.
Benefits:
- Sterile Work Environment: Ideal for tissue culture, pharmaceuticals, and electronics assembly.
- User Safety: Protects products rather than personnel from contamination.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a range of lab settings, from research to industrial applications.
