Fume hoods
What is a fume hood?
A fume hood is an enclosed workspace with controlled airflow designed to capture and remove hazardous vapors, gases and aerosols. By continuously extracting contaminated air, the system minimizes exposure risks for the user. In some contexts, a fume hood is also referred to as a fume cupboard.
When do you use a laboratory fume hood?
A laboratory fume hood is used when working with substances that release harmful fumes or gases. This includes solvents, acids, bases and other volatile chemicals. Using a suitable fume hood improves safety conditions and supports reliable and repeatable laboratory processes.
Different types of fume hoods
Within this category, different types of fume hoods are available depending on the application and chemical exposure:
- Standard fume hoods for general laboratory use
- Chemical resistant fume hoods for aggressive substances
- Specialized configurations for pharmaceutical or industrial environments
Difference between a fume hood and a laminar flow cabinet
A fume hood is designed to protect the user by extracting hazardous air from the workspace. This differs from a laminar flow cabinet, which is intended for product protection by providing a clean and controlled airflow over the working area. While a fume hood removes contaminated air, a laminar flow cabinet supplies filtered air.
