Portable fume hoods: efficient solution for laboratory work

Where is a portable fume hood used?

A mobile fume hood is used in various fields, such as chemistry, biology or pharmacy. It is used to extract harmful vapors and gases, thus increasing safety in the laboratory. It also allows flexible use at different locations within the laboratory.

In a modern laboratory, it is essential that fume hoods are easy and quick to use. A mobile fume hood provides you with a powerful and easy-to-use solution that gives you peace of mind that your laboratory safety and hygiene standards are being met. The mobile fume hood can also be adapted to the space available to ensure efficient use.

Functionality and design of a mobile fume hood

A mobile fume hood is an important component in many laboratories, as it ensures employee safety while creating a clean working environment. The following explains how such a fume hood works and is constructed. The mobile fume hood consists of a housing with an exhaust system and a filter or exhaust system. The housing itself can be made of either glass or plastic and has an opening at the front through which materials can be inserted.

The exhaust device ensures that hazardous vapors or gases are extracted and thus cannot enter the room. There are various methods for this: one possibility is to draw in air at the bottom of the fume hood by means of a fan. Alternatively, a suction pipe can be mounted directly above the object to be processed. The filter or exhaust system then cleans the extracted air of pollutants before it is returned to the room (exhaust air) or blown outdoors (discharge).

Different filter systems are used depending on the type of pollutant. In addition, many mobile fume hoods have other functions such as lighting inside the housing for better visibility during experimental work and electronic controls for monitoring system properties (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).

Overview of different types of fume cupboards

Fume hoods (digestoriums) are indispensable devices in any laboratory environment. They are used to extract hazardous gases and vapors, thus ensuring the safety of employees. There are different types of fume hoods that can be selected depending on the requirements of the laboratory.

Chemical fume hood

This fume hood is designed for handling chemical substances and has special filters to filter out harmful vapors.

Biological fume hood

A biological fume hood is used when working with biological material (such as bacteria or viruses). It ensures that no germs can escape.

Laminar flow fume hood

This type of fume hood creates a laminar airflow in the work area of the laboratory to keep particles such as dust or other contaminants out.

Dryer exhaust system

A dryer exhaust system is used to extract moist exhaust air during drying operations.

Extraction cabinet

An exhaust cabinet is used to process small parts without the risk of damage from an open flame.

Fume Hood / Smoke Trap Chamber

A fume hood is a closed system that is used when hazardous materials have to be removed safely, but at the same time a visual inspection should be possible.

The most important features of a mobile laboratory filter fume hood

A laboratory filter fume hood is an essential piece of equipment in many laboratories, as it provides a safe and effective way to extract hazardous gases and vapors. Here are some of the most important features of a good filter fume hood:

1. Efficient extraction: A good filter fume hood should be able to remove harmful fumes from the work area quickly and efficiently.
2. High-quality filter systems: The fume hood must be equipped with high-quality filter systems like carbon filters or hepa filters that can provide a high filtration rate and ensure that no toxic substances escape.
3. Ease of use: Fume hood operation should be simple and intuitive - ideally with a touch screen or user-friendly interface.
4. Safe design: The fume hood must be designed to protect the user from potentially hazardous substances - for example, through special ventilation mechanisms or explosion protection devices.
5. Robust construction: Because a laboratory filter fume hood is often used for years (and must handle numerous chemicals), it is important to ensure that it is built robustly to remain in use for long periods of time.
