Fume hoods

Purpose and Operational Safety

Fume hoods are designed to equip individual workstations in medical, pharmaceutical, research, and analytical laboratories. This equipment ensures reliable protection for the operator and the environment against harmful vapors, aerosols, and odors generated during work with chemical substances, reagents, and preparations.

Operating Principle

The airflow is directed from the laboratory room into the working zone, preventing contaminated air from escaping into the operator's breathing zone. The design ensures effective removal of contaminants even at relatively low face velocities through the working aperture, enabling safe handling of both liquids and powdered materials.

Construction and Materials

The enclosure is fabricated from chemically resistant materials that withstand exposure to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. Internal surfaces are designed for easy cleaning and are compatible with standard disinfecting agents.

Units can be equipped with:

• Adjustable airflow velocity control.

• Integrated workspace lighting.

• Built-in electrical sockets.

• Exhaust ventilation adaptable for centralized systems or individual filtration modules.

Compliance and Validation

These fume hoods meet sanitary regulations and safety standards for laboratory equipment. When required, airflow validation and exhaust efficiency verification are performed in accordance with GMP and GLP requirements.
