At Certified MTP we know how important safety is in the work place and laboratory fume hoods are key to filtering out and controlling toxic fumes. Our range has the best lab fume hoods to keep your work space as efficient, safe and productive as possible.
Fume hood testing is essential to ensure laboratory fume hoods meet standards like ASHRAE 110-2016 to create a safe working environment.
We have designed our chemical fume hoods or ducted hood to get you the best results possible. Available in a range of shapes and sizes to fit any lab space or setup, our chemical fume hoods are the reliable equipment to streamline your work and keep the environment safe from toxic chemicals and optimal ventilation.
A fume hood is a laboratory equipment that captures and removes airborne contaminants such as hazardous fumes and particles from the air. By drawing in contaminated air and exhausting it outside the laboratory, fume hoods prevent the release of harmful substances into the environment. This protects laboratory personnel from exposure and creates a safer and more controlled working environment. Whether you are working with volatile chemicals or conducting sensitive experiments, a fume hood is essential for laboratory safety.
Fume hoods come in many types, each for specific laboratory requirements. Here are some of the common types of fume hoods:
Conventional Fume Hoods: These are the most common type of fume hoods, a general purpose ventilation solution for various laboratory applications.
Ductless Fume Hoods: Instead of exhausting air outside, these hoods use a filter based system to remove contaminants, ideal for laboratories where external ducting is not possible.
Perchloric Acid Fume Hoods: Designed to handle the challenges of working with perchloric acid and other corrosive substances, these hoods provide safe and effective ventilation.
Radioisotope Fume Hoods: Built for handling radioactive materials, these hoods offer extra protection and containment to meet strict safety requirements.
Each type of fume hood is designed to perform and be safe.
At Certified MTP all our products are made from high quality materials so are the best laboratory fume hoods for any lab space. Designed with laboratory safety in mind and to protect the user, these chemical fume hoods are engineered to prevent cross contamination, powder containment hood with ventilated enclosures or our chemical fume hoods are a lab must have and won’t let you down. Our range has everything you need for laboratory safety and efficiency.
Lab fume hoods and ducted fume hoods are essential for a safe workspace and your work surface as they control hazardous substances which reduces contamination and exposure. Safety is important for all your scientific research and experiments and our products are reliable and durable so you can trust they will give you the best results every time.
For performance testing and analysis a smoke generator is often used. This includes small portable and large volume smoke generators which are used for tasks such as gas analysis and face velocity testing.
Safety is key when working with hazardous substances and fume hoods have many features to ensure safe operation. Some of these features include:
Face Velocity Alarms: These alarms alert laboratory staff if the face velocity of the fume hood falls below a safe level so the hood is capturing contaminants.
Airflow Monitors: Providing real time data on the airflow in the fume hood these monitors ensure the hood is safe and efficient.
Emergency Shutdown Systems: In the event of an emergency these systems allow laboratory staff to shut down the fume hood quickly to minimize exposure to hazardous substances.
These features are key to a secure and controlled laboratory environment, protecting both personnel and your work.
Reliability and consistency is key for lab fume hoods as they handle hazardous substances and laboratory personnel. To achieve this regular testing and maintenance is required. This includes:
Regular testing of Face Velocity and Airflow: To ensure the fume hood is operating at optimal levels to capture and remove contaminants.
Regular maintenance of Filters and other components: To keep the fume hood in top condition to prevent malfunctions and inefficiencies.
Regular inspection of the fume hood and its components: To identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems.
By following these guidelines you can be sure your fume hood will give you a safe and efficient working environment.
Lab fume hoods come in various sizes and configurations to suit different labs. Some of these include:
Benchtop Fume Hoods: For small scale experiments these hoods are designed for lab benches, a compact and efficient ventilation solution.
Floor Mounted Fume Hoods: For larger scale experiments these hoods are designed for the lab floor, plenty of space and robust ventilation.
Walk-In Fume Hoods: For large scale experiments these hoods provide a spacious and safe working environment for laboratory staff.
Whether you work in a small or large scale lab there is a fume hood for you, safe and efficient.
Proper installation and certification is key to safe and efficient operation of fume hoods. Fume hoods should be installed by qualified professionals and certified to relevant standards and regulations including:
ASHRAE 110-2016: This standard provides guidelines for testing and certification of fume hoods to meet performance and safety criteria.
SEFA 1: This standard outlines the design and construction requirements for fume hoods to withstand laboratory use.
ANSI/ASHRAE 199: This standard provides guidelines for testing and certification of fume hoods to contain and exhaust hazardous substances.
By following these standards you can be sure your fume hood will perform reliably and safely, protecting personnel and the environment.
