Ductless Fume Hoods & Enclosures

Filtered Fume Hoods (also known as ductless fume hoods and ductless enclosures) use carbon adsorption chemical filtration to rid the work area of hazardous fumes and vapors. Traditional carbon filters are available for adsorbing or treating acid gases, solvents, ammonia, formaldehyde and radioisotopes.

Multiple types of carbon filters can be stacked, and HEPA filters can be added for mixed use applications in these ductless hoods. In addition to Airo and Echo Filtered Fume Hood and Paramount Ducltess Enclosures, FilterMate Portable Exhausters are also available to connect to Demonstration Hoods and XPert Balance Enclosures, Protector XVS Ventilation Stations or Protector Work Stations to remove particulate and/or organic solvent, formaldehyde or ammonia vapors from the exhaust air.

Protector Work Stations are designed specifically for the needs of histologists and pathologists. Models are available that use carbon filters that adsorb formaldehyde or organic solvent vapors to exhaust filtered air back into the laboratory. Other models duct to the outside. Fume Adsorbers are compact, portable enclosures that use a carbon filter to adsorb low levels of xylene and alcohol vapors.
