Our Ductless Fume Hood uses activated carbon and HEPA filters, with indicators to signal when replacement is needed. They are constructed from resistant materials like polypropylene, with work surfaces made of phenolic resin. Transparent panels are made of tempered glass for clear visibility. Control systems feature LED displays, alarm indicators for airflow and filter status. These units are perfect for providing durable construction, and filtration for performance and safety.
1. What is a Ductless Fume Hood?
A Ductless Fume Hood is a type of extraction system designed to filter air within a laboratory without the need for external ductwork. These uses advanced filtration technology, such as activated carbon and HEPA filters, to capture chemical fumes. They are requiring ventilation systems connected to the outside and return the clean air back into the room.
2. Can Ductless Fume Hoods be used for all chemicals?
While Ductless Fume Hoods are effective for many common chemical applications, they are not suitable for all types of chemicals. Some highly toxic chemicals may require more specialized containment methods. These are important to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for compatibility with specific chemicals. These produces gases that cannot be filtered by standard carbon, a ducted system is necessary.
