Product Description
Laboratory fume hoods are a type of ventilation system with the primary function to exhaust chemical fumes, vapors, gasses, dust, mist and aerosol. Fume hoods also serve as physical barriers between reactions and the laboratory, offering a measure of protection against inhalation exposure, chemical spills, run-away reactions and fires.
Biological safety cabinets, laminar flow clean benches, pharmacy isolators and glove boxes are sometimes mistaken for fume hoods. These devices utilize particulate filters which do not remove chemical vapors. With specific rare exceptions, they should not be used for work involving chemicals.
A typical fume hood has a box like structure with a moveable sash window. Experimental procedures are performed within the hood which is consistently and safely ventilated, usually by means of an extract blower and ductwork. Chemical fumes are exhausted and diluted many times over in the atmosphere and have a negligible effect on human health. When environment concerns are of importance, an extract treatment system, often referred to as a scrubber is installed to remove most of the vapors from the exhaust air stream.

Type of Fume Hood
• General Purpose, Bench Top Fume Hood
• Distillation Fume Hood
A distillation hood is characterized by a low worktop height which results in a large working height for the operator. This allows tall distillation equipment to be installed and mounted in the work chamber. Otherwise, it has similar features to that of a standard fume hood.
• Perchloric Acid Fume Hood
Perchloric acid reacts violently with organic materials. Dried perchloric acid is also highly explosive. Therefore, perchloric fume hoods require built-in water wash down systems in order to prevent perchlorate salt deposits. Interior liners are made of acid resistant materials like stainless steel. Interior corners are coved to aid in cleaning. All procedures that use perchloric acid must be confined to a perchloric fume hood, to prevent dangerous reactions with other chemicals.
• Radioisotope Fume Hood
Radioisotope fume hoods are constructed specifically to protect users from radioactive materials. They have specially constructed worktops to withstand the weight of lead shielding plates, and may also have lead laced sashes. Interiors are made of stainless steel with coved corners to aid in decontamination.
• Acid Digestion Fume Hood
Acid digestion fume hoods have special liners manufactured of acid resistant materials such as unplasticized PVC. For acid digestion applications involving high service temperatures, other materials such as PVDF may be used. Sashes may be made of polycarbonate to resist hydrofluoric acid etching.
• Floor Mounted Fume Hood
Floor mounted fume hoods are used for applications which require large apparatus. As the name implies, these hoods are floor mounted without any work surface. This facilitates the transfer of equipment and materials into, and out from the hood. Floor mounted hoods are sometimes referred to, although wrongly, as walk-in fume hoods.
• Demonstration Fume Hood
A demonstration hood has all 4 sides made of safety glass, and this hood is commonly used in educational institutions to allow students to easily view the teachers' demonstrations inside the fume hood from all angles, enhancing efficiency in teaching laboratories.
• Ductless Fume Hood
Ductless fume hoods utilize activated carbon filtration to adsorb chemical vapors and fumes. These hoods recirculate air to the laboratory, and are growing in popularity because of energy savings and the green movement.

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.
