Ductless fume hood with activated carbon filtration for volatile organic compounds and acid vapours. Duct-free installation for flexible lab placement.
Both are tested for containment to ASHRAE 110 and EN 14175, with a face velocity of around 0.5 m/s.
Saksham reviews your chemical inventory, recommends the hood type and filter chemistry, and handles installation, face-velocity testing and AMC for fume hoods in pharma QC, university and industrial labs.
A fume hood protects the operator from chemical fumes by exhausting them, but it does not protect the sample. A biosafety cabinet uses HEPA filtration to protect operator, sample and environment from biological hazards. HEPA filters do not capture chemical vapours.
Yes, for the chemicals its carbon filter is rated for and with regular filter monitoring and replacement. For broad or unknown chemical use, a ducted fume hood is safer.
Typically 0.4–0.5 m/s (80–100 fpm). ESCO hoods are designed around 0.5 m/s and are containment-tested to ASHRAE 110 and EN 14175.
