Large apparatus or complex set-ups may require a Fume Hood designed to meet these requirements. An 18″ high table supports the LOC Low Bench Fume Hood and has an interior height of 63 3/4″.
Options
- Optional service fixtures are available for installation of the low bench fume hood.
- Mounting holes for service fixtures and electrical receptacles are pre-cut and capped when fixtures are not required.
Specifications
The static pressures listed above are for the hoods only. An appropriate amount will be added to this figure to compensate for the pressure drop through the duct system. The total pressure drop through the hood and the duct system must be known in order to select the proper exhaust blower.

Applications and Use Cases for Low Bench Fume Hoods
Low bench fume hoods are essential safety devices in laboratory environments, particularly where hazardous materials are handled. They provide effective ventilation and containment of harmful fumes, vapors, and particles, ensuring a safer workspace for researchers and technicians. Below are some key applications and use cases for low bench fume hoods:
Low bench fume hoods are widely used in chemical laboratories for experiments involving volatile or toxic substances. During experiments that involve exothermic reactions or the use of reactive chemicals, low bench fume hoods provide a controlled environment that minimizes the risk of spills and splashes, as well as containing any accidental releases of gases.
- Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Research
In pharmaceutical labs, low bench fume hoods are crucial for synthesizing and testing new drugs. They help maintain a sterile environment while safely venting any hazardous vapors produced during the process. When working with biohazardous materials, low bench fume hoods offer a barrier against airborne pathogens, ensuring that researchers are protected from potential contamination while conducting their work.
Many educational institutions utilize low bench fume hoods in chemistry and biology labs to teach students about safe handling practices for chemicals. These hoods provide a practical learning environment while emphasizing the importance of safety protocols.
