Lab Expo ducted fumehoods are intended to eliminate toxic gases from the surrounding environment. These models have built-in blowers with adjustable air speed and toughened glass front windows. They include microprocessor-controlled devices, UV lights, and digital LED displays. They feature interiors with melamine boards and worktables constructed of chemically resistant phenolic resin. Their exteriors are constructed of cold-rolled steel with an antibacterial coating. Our ducted fumehoods include memory functions in case of a power outage.
FAQ for Ducted Fumehood
1: What is a Ducted Fume hood?
A Ducted Fume hood is a ventilated enclosure designed to capture and expel hazardous fumes, vapors and dust generated during laboratory procedures. It channels contaminated air through ductwork to be filtered or exhausted outside the facility.
2: How does adjustable air speed benefit fume hood operation?
Adjustable air speed allows users to control the rate of airflow based on the type and volume of chemical activity, ensuring both energy efficiency and optimal containment of hazardous substances.
3: How do UV lights contribute to laboratory safety?
Built-in UV lights provide germicidal action by eliminating airborne and surface contaminants. They are especially useful for sterilizing the interior workspace before or after operations, reducing the risk of biological contamination.
4: What is cold-rolled steel and why is it used for lab equipment exteriors?
Cold-rolled steel is a type of steel processed at room temperature, resulting in a smooth surface, enhanced strength and dimensional precision. It is ideal for lab equipment due to its structural durability and polished finish.
5: Does the memory function help maintain safety during power interruptions?
Yes, it minimizes risks related to inadequate airflow or sudden chemical vapor accumulation after a blackout. Some models also include automatic alerts or delayed restart protocols for added safety.
