Laboratory ‎Fume Hoods & Enclosures

Chemical fume hoods are an important piece of equipment to maintain a safe and hazard-free environment. Laboratories working with chemicals require specialized ventilation systems to eliminate harmful vapors, fumes, dust, and gases. These hoods can guarantee the safety of personnel and the quality of air within the workspace.

A properly designed and operated chemical fume hood effectively removes hazardous substances. This creates a safer and more efficient lab.

Finding the ideal chemical fume hood for your facility can be challenging. That’s where we come in at LOC Scientific. Our knowledgeable and experienced team guides you through the selection process. Manufactured for durability, our hoods can withstand heavy chemical use and feature easy-to-clean designs to handle spills safely.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Fume Hood

When selecting a fume hood, it’s important to consider several factors to make sure it meets your lab’s requirements. Here are some key aspects to keep in mind:

Safety Features

Safety should always be the top priority. Our fume hoods come with:

  • Double-wall construction for enhanced containment.
  • Sashes with combination counterweights and spring-loaded stops for controlled operation.
  • Laminated safety glass for added protection.
  • Audible alarms (LOC500) to signal unsafe conditions.

Performance and Compliance

Every laboratory fume hood we offer undergoes rigorous testing and certification based on ASHRAE standards. Additionally, all equipment is UL-listed for top-tier performance and compliance with safety regulations.

Customization Options

We provide extensive customization options. Customers can specify:

  • Service fixture types and locations.
  • Electrical outlet placements.
  • Mounting holes for on-site installation of optional equipment.

How To Maintain Fume Hood Safety in Your Laboratory

Proper use and maintenance of a chemical fume hood are central to its effectiveness and your team’s safety. Here’s how to optimize its use:

  • Keep the Workspace Clear: The hood should remain free from debris, chemicals, and other items that could obstruct airflow.
  • Use the Sash Correctly: Maintain the sash at the recommended height for optimal protection and airflow control.
  • Train Employees: Staff should receive thorough training on operating the hood. This includes safety precautions and the importance of maintaining a safe distance.

Our fume hoods are made to be user-friendly. They can maintain smooth operations while protecting your team’s health and productivity.
