  In spite of advances in technology, when it comes to working with hazardous materials, scientists need to work in an area that has chemical  fume hoods . A fume hood exhausts vapours from toxic or hazardous materials away from a work area so the users in the area are protected. Proper ventilation is key to ensuring any contaminated air is effectively removed from the Lab. Without fume hoods, lab user may experience adverse effects from working. If harmful vapours are inhaled, the results could be disastrous. If fumes are left in the area, there are chances of explosions, fires, burns, or even chemical absorption. Labs should be equipped with proper fume hoods before any work is done inside & ensure all lab users are working safely with potentially harmful materials. Its necessary that fume hoods are inspected to ensure they’re working properly before any experiments are run & important to remember that fume hoods should only be used to remove toxic fumes from the Lab...

This is important to select right   fume hood   for your application. Some salespersons as well as lab user sometimes miss guided by wrong information before buying Fume hood. Here are some important tips: 1.Application of the Hood: It is important to know the reaction to be carried out inside the hood.  Labguard  fume hoods are manufactured based on the real time input. Internal liner, working top and all other accessories are selected based on the application. Some highly synthesis lab needs ceramic whereas general chemistry hood can be handled by phenolic resin compound. Application of the hood is also varied industry wise, for pure research lab need  Inventa – Lx  or  Adventa  where teaching lab needs  3 sides glass optima hood,  which is much cost effective. (reader should check the specification of the hoods at www.labguard.biz) 2.Size of the hood The size of the hood is determined by the usage of the instruments inside the fume ho...
