Product Description
Fume hoods or other local exhaust hoods are an important safety component to any laboratory handling toxic solvents, corrosives, or other volatile chemicals. A chemical fume hood is a partially enclosed work space that is exhausted to the outside. Laboratory fume hoods are thefirst defense to minimize chemical exposure to research workers. They are considered the primary means of protection from inhalation of hazardous vapors because they capture, contain, and expel emissions generated by hazardous chemicals. It is, therefore, important that all potentially harmful chemical work be conducted inside a properly functioning fume hood.
A chemical fume hood is designed to protect the user by drawing contaminants away from you. Therefore, work with hazardous chemicals should not be done on a clean air bench, which is designed to protect biological specimens by drawing air from the back of the hood toward the user. Likewise a biosafety cabinet (which can exhaust contaminated air back into the work environment) cannot safely be used with hazardous gases and vapors.

Our Advantages
-Control the rate of release of particles or vapors from reactions in order to minimize exposure to such chemicals.
-Do not leave a reaction unobserved for more than a few minutes.
-Place a mark on the front of the fume hood where the sash is raised to 18 inches. Perform work at or below the sash stop level.
-Perform all work in the hood at least six inches inside the hood sash.
-Never put your head in the hood.
-No extension cords or powerstrips should be present in the hood. Ensure that no sources of ignition or spark is present when flammable or explosive chemicals are being used.
-Wear appropriate protective clothing.
-Seal all chemical containers when not in use to avoid the possible build-up of vapors in the hood.
-If especially hazardous or corrosive vapors will be evolved, these exit gases should be passed through scrubbers or absorption trains.

FAQ
Before Using a Fume Hood
-The hood should be inspected annually by a trained professional. Verify that a inspection is current by checking the date on the inspection sticker.
- Make sure the hood is functioning properly and has good air flow.
-The face velocity of the hood should be between 80-120 lfpm to work properly. If the hood is outside these parameters, contact EH&S about hood repair.
-Sash is the term used to describe the movable glass panel that covers the face area of a fume hood. Keep the hood sash completely closed
when not in use.
-Never remove, modify, or override installed sash stops.
-Attach a piece of light paper, such as a "Kimwipe" to the inside bottom corner of the hood sash. Inward movement of the paper indicates air is being drawn into the hood. The paper should be moving, but not so rapidly that it tears or comes off.
- Avoid storing excess chemicals or equipment in the hood. If a small amount must be stored in the hood, keep them away from the baffle
slots in the rear of the hood or place on blocks so that air can flow to the bottom opening of the baffle.
- Never use the hood as a waste disposal mechanism (e.g., for evaporation of excess chemicals).
- Avoid cross-drafts which can cause turbulence and reduce the efficiency of the hood.
